🌴 Sharm El Sheikh Vibes: One Week of Clear-Blue Relax & Walk-Everywhere Fun

Landing on the Sinai felt like switching YouTube to 4-K: the Red Sea is so transparent you spot rainbow fish right from Novotel Sharm El Sheikh’s beach jetty. The hotel itself is bright, spotless and quietly stylish—think white arches, palm shadows and fresh mango juice for breakfast.

Trip Highlights

Day 2 – Culture Circuit
• Peace Square for the iconic “I ♥ SHARM” sign.
• The grand mosque in the Old Market and a nearby Coptic church—warm smiles, kids high-fiving strangers, zero pressure. Egyptians here really make you feel like family.

Day 4 – Down Below
A first real dive! Dropped into turquoise silence and floated past lionfish, parrotfish and a curious turtle. Seeing the reef inhabitants eye-to-eye beats any aquarium.

Evenings – Promenade Crawls
Hardly needed taxis: Naama Bay promenade is pure pedestrian freedom.
• Hard Rock Café – my first time in this rock-‘n-roll temple: loud riffs, juicy burgers, priceless guitar memorabilia.
• Kokai – cosy Chinese spot; generous plates and change from €15.
• Souvenir stalls overflow with pharaoh magnets, cartouche necklaces and alabaster scarabs—ancient Egypt meets beach town.

Good-to-Know
• Weather check – Late March evenings are breezy; bring a light jacket. Prime sea temperature hits in May–June.
• Water shoes – Coral starts right at the shoreline; spare your feet.
• Cash tips – A few Egyptian pounds unlock even bigger smiles from waiters and beach attendants.
• Walk first, haggle second – Prices drop 20–30 % once you greet vendors with a friendly “salaam alaikum”.

Seven days, zero stress, no traffic—just reef colours, evening strolls and genuine hospitality. For an easy walking holiday with world-class snorkelling, Sharm is hard to beat. 🌞
