VISITOR
Luca’s “What to do? What to see?” Yo yo yo, Luca here! Goodness what a month! I came to Sharm on a one week’s diving holiday and do you know what? Exactly 29 days later and I’m still here… oops! It’s been crazy; I have met so many great people and have done so many cool things. I thought Sharm was just sun, sea, sand and fish! But there are loads of activities for all ages in this city I call “Sharm el Fun”! Ok - I don’t actually say that but… it’s true!
Motor sports:Please stand up, turn your back to the sea, and what do you see? Desert and mountains. Experience the desert at its best while off-roading in or on the vehicle of your choice, be it a motor bike, quad bike or 4x4 jeep. I took a wicked day trip exploring the desert one late afternoon. We then chilled and enjoyed the sunset followed by a show and dinner. There are many different companies providing desert excursions as an alternative to your travel reps selection, but as my buddy Zane always says: check they have insurance or that your holiday insurance fully covers your trip. Oh, and make sure you get a receipt when booking any trips! Believe me… running around town trying 8
to find “Mohamed” to get a refund for an excursion that he never picked you up for is not fun; been there, done that, never again ;-) Here are a few useful numbers Riders Safari 012 2774 230 Sahara Express 010 1794 907 Sand Action Safari 010 8854 086 Sinai 4x4 Extreme 010 9334 144
Water sports:Apart from snorkelling and diving, I have discovered there are many new and exciting activities available for enjoying the sea here in Sharm. You can learn to wake board, water ski or kite surf, go parasailing, try a banana boat, or if you prefer to stay dry, how about a cruise or a glassbottom boat trip.
