Going to Sharm el Sheikh

Sharm el Sheikh
We got up around 8 am and went to see the Red Sea. It was about 160 km to Sharm el Sheikh. On the way there, we stopped in Dahab and had to pass several check points. In general, the policemen at the check points were friendly and did not check the car. We only had to show few timrd our passports. Around 2 pm we reached our destination – the most tourist place on Sinai – Sharm el Sheikh. More than 30 km of hotels. After one months of travelling in Muslim countries, we felt like at some European sea resort. We went to see the beach and found out that most of the beaches are private and since we do not stay in any hotel, we can not access them, but we managed to do that. Before the sunset, I had my first swim in the Red Sea and was amazed by the beautiful corals and fish. After this nice experience we to meet Agnieszka’s friend Małgosia, who works at the Polish diving center called Nautica. She arranged a nice apartment for us, very close to the sea. It was nice to take a hot shower and sleep in a normal bed.
