Beach Holiday in Egypt (Hurghada) A short breakaway during winter time to Hurghada, Egypt. We stayed 1 week in hotel Grand Resort*****, a wonderful hotel! Really 1001 nights! Due to overbooking we received an upgrade to a family suite. Top! Most of the time we did some relaxing at the pool of this great hotel. Or we went to the beach of partner hotel Siva Grand Beach****, which was also a nice hotel (outside facilities, anyway). Trip we did during this holiday: A snorkling trip to Sharm El Naga. This was nice but not that impressive as our snorkling trip to Ras Mohamed National Park last year in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. ... read more

Beach Holiday in Egypt (Sharm El Sheikh) For our second holiday together we went to sunny and hot Egypt. More precisely to Sharm El Sheikh in the Sinaï region. We stayed 2 weeks in hotel Holiday Inn****. From there we made some trips in the Sinaï region. The rest of our time we relaxed at the beach or at 1 of the 4 huge pools. In front of the hotel there was a private "hotel"-reef where we could snorkel all day long! The reef was really superb!! All kinds of fishes with all kinds of colours you can imagine. Our hotel was in Shark Bay, between the airport and Naama Bay. Naama Bay is the main tourist resort of Sharm El Sheikh, with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. There is even a Hard Rock Café! ... read more
