The story

Flight: Blue Express Stay: Eden Amphoras (Ras umm Sid) Diving: Sea Soul

FLIGHT: The flight time was changed, as usual, both outbound and return, but despite this it still turned out to be the best one for making the most of the arrival and departure days. Watch out for excess kilos: they are very strict and also very expensive, 10 € per kg above the allowance, 15 kg in the hold and 5 kg of hand luggage.

HOTEL: The hotel has a strategic position both for the splendid easily accessible reef and for its closeness to Old Sharm and Naama. The property could use better maintenance but on the whole it is acceptable.

DIVING: Honour and credit go to Jeko's dive centre. Organisation, professionalism and wonderful hospitality are the gems of this dive centre. At the end of our stay the equipment was washed, disinfected and dried by the dive centre…… The Sea Soul Family, Cristina, Jeko, Jessica, Claudia, the Rais and all the others, was truly commendable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TAXI From Ras Umm Sid to Sharm 20 eg. pounds by car, 25 to Naama.

The charm of the Red Sea did all the rest………… completely naturally!!!!!!
