Its Egypt, kind of.

by mr.small - last update: Jun 6, 2005

A cultural oddity.

There are many sides to Sharm,but authentic Egyptian is not one of them.In sharm you can do things that would not be allowed in the most other parts of the country.You can drink alcohol,go topless and never have to pay a bribe.If you want good hotels,OK facilities and a coastline and sea to kill for,go to sharm.If you want peace and quite,or hustle and bustle,then you can find both there aswell.If you want the real Egypt,look elsewhere.

Eagle ray

Whilst snorkelling off the beach at the Tropicana oasis hotel out near the airport I was lucky enough to come across this beautiful eagle ray. I am just glad I had the U/W camera with me.
