Day off…
|
So what does one do on a day off in Sharm?? In truth, if you are not diving, there is a little bit of a limit to what you can do here. There are no cinemas (well one, but it’s miles away and not quite your ten screen multiplex), no theatres, there is a Sharm Museum but that is basically a souvenir shop in disguise. So what to do? If you have a car, you do have a little more freedom. Nabq National Park boasts some beautiful beaches and a shrimp farm where you can buy the freshest seafood, and Ras Mohammed National Park again sports some stunning mountains and awesome beaches (some totally deserted) with great snorkelling to be had. Of course you can get yourself on a boat and go fun diving, very popular at this time of year, with everything blooming in the water. But what if you don’t fancy that? What else can you do? Of course there is quad biking, wakeboarding, banana boat riding, parascending available, or you can just chill out. There are many bars open for most of the day if you fancy an icy beer, or slightly livelier beaches if you fancy a little bit of a sea breeze to cool you down (the drink or the real thing). Our favourite is Terrazzina. OK the music can get a bit loud as the day wears on, especially on a Friday, but their seafood tajin is second to none! Hmmm a delicious stew of seafood and tomatoes cooked in an earthenware pot, served with a squirt of lime juice on a bed of rice, very very tasty. So this was our day today, we had a chat with fellow locals in T2 over a cool beer, followed by lunch at Terrazzina, and topped off with a quick swim to cool down. Not bad really eh? |
