This is just a little short & sweet blog post on my travels to Egypt, I dont want to bore you guys with lots of details but if you have any questions feel free to ask me.
I was so excited to book Egypt. A place where I had never travelled before. Then after the tragic Tunisia attack in June, I felt very apprehensive about travelling. Anyone who I told, I was going to Egypt all had the same thing to say..'are you not nervous?'
I was nervous, we confronted the travel agent who we had booked with in Thompson & they said there was no issued warning in Egypt, that there was no need to have a fear.
So we departed on the 13th of august from dublin & flew straight into Sharm. The journey took five & a half hours in total on the plane. When we got to the airport luckily our hotel 'Experience St.George homestay' was only twenty minutes away.
Hotel:
We went all inclusive which was highly recommended to us by the travel agent as the hotels can be secluded. The food was okay, nothing special. I had ether chips & pasta everyday unless we eat out. Their is an English pub next door to the hotel which had music a lot from our hotel would go there. The staff where the loveliest staff you could ever meet in a hotel! They went out of their way to make you feel at home. The place itself was gorgeous two large swimming pools & two kids pools. One of the pools had great music & activities, while the other was known as they quite pool/chill pool. It had its own spa where we got the most gorgeous coffee & coconut body scrub & wrap. Followed by a full body massage & use of the spa facilities.
The hotel also has its own private beach. It was lovely with lots of water activities and boats trips. There was also camel rides which was so amazing to see a real camel they are hugeeee.
Sunset cruise:
This is a must do! It made my holiday you set out on the cruise at four o'clock & return around nine. You get to snorkel in the Red Sea which was such an amazing experience! It was the highlight of my holiday. There's also a chance of seeing Dolphins which we did luckily. Then you can have some drinks & watch the sun set. There are lots of silly & fun games on board which made it a good laugh. Sailing at night is so relaxing! 100% recommend doing this cruise! We booked it in our hotel with Carlos who runs the cruise.
Soho square:
You can't go to sharm without going to soho we went down on two different nights. It was beautiful. As it was only built in the last few years everything is very modern.
It is the most expensive place in sharm but it is definitely worth the visit. There is literally everything you can think of in the square. Ice skating, a cinema, an ice bar , an oxygen bar, bowling, a singing fountain, loads of shops, nightclubs & restaurants.
Naama Bay
Another place to go to is naama bay its kind of like the moore street of Egypt. It is just lots of little nicky nacky gift shops. There are far more restaurants here & lots of fast food places like McDonalds & KFC. Lots of night clubs again, you would definitely spend a whole night there.
That pretty much it, unfortunately the pyramids where out of bonds as a bomb attack happened while we were there which I was gutted over as I always wanted to see them. I would 100% recommend Egypt as a holiday its such a beautiful place with lots to do.
Lots of Love Jessica x
