The story

I arrived at the airport with utmost calm. We were finally on holiday! Then a transfer to the pharaonic resort, nice, clean and immense. Days of sea and sun and lots of fish on the reef. Then in the following days camel excursions for tea in the desert and then a visit to the markets of Old Sharm with all its colours and smells of spices. Very hot climate during the day but breezy. Unbearable muggy heat that rose in the evening coming from the sea and kept you from sleeping at night. A strange low-tide phenomenon affected our reef area making the scenery even more striking. A fantastic trip in exciting Egypt that I'll always carry in my heart. Return trip delayed by a day by the tour operator due to too much air traffic: holiday season. They accommodated us in another resort even bigger and more immense than the previous one and we gained an extra day of sun and sea.
