Egypt - Sharm El Sheikh
Sharm El Sheikh, Sinai, Egypt, was once
a small Bedouin fishing village
Located
on the Red Sea coast's Sinai Peninsular, east of the Suez Canal, Sharm El Sheikh
is a popular choice for sun worshipers as 'Sharm' as it affectionately known
hardly ever has a sunless day!
The resort is a short excursion from Mount Sinai and St Catherine's Monastery,
close to where Moses is said to have received the Ten Commandments.
Sharm has plenty of good hotels now, great entertainment and of course Red
Sea diving!
