The Journey to the Southern Tip of Sinai Peninsular

|

We departed Fairmont Towers Hotel, Cairo @ 09:10 hours. After at least 4 pits stops along the Cairo – Suez Canal – Sharm El Sheikh highway, we arrived at the ‘Main Gate’ of Sharm El Sheikh at around 14:52 hours. The first impression was – wow! Superb!. The police officers at the gate welcomed us in a very friendly manner. He asked us where are from. Sherif and I replied him sincerely, “Malaysie” in Arabic accent. “welcome, Malaysie is good”, he replied jovially. We were allowed to pass the gate with not much hustles. Proud to be Malaysians.
Before checking in at our hotel at the Shark Bay; we went around the small resort town - passing through the Marina, Army post or barrack, the famous Naama Bay, Congress Center, Peace Monument, the Pyramid shape Sharm El Sheikh Hospital, Airport, Shopping Arcade and Malls, two big Mosques, few 5-Starts Hotels and other interesting sculptures and art pieces along the Sharm El Sheikh main road – El Salam road.
After spending slightly more than 1:30 hours exploring the Sharm El Sheikh town, we finally arrived at Pyramisa Resorts & Villa at around 15:40 hours. The hotel is about 7 kilometers from the bustle of the Naama Bay; 13 kilometers from the Old town and 18 kilometers from the ‘Main Gate’ and 2 kilometers from the airport. The checking-in process was smooth. After about 10 minutes, we were transferred by the hotel minivan to our chalet at the end of the hotel perimeter.
What amazed me; most of the hotel key staffs speak at least two languages fluently and they were very friendly.
Honest and frankly, except for its fascinating beach line, which was not easily accessed though, Sharm El Sheikh did not really impress me. What really pulled me here was my passion of my hobby – photography and definitely family breakaway to enhance or broaden our mindset / paradigm. They – my wife and our 5 kids deserved it. Well, it was not about the destination - Sharm El Sheikh, but the journey along the 1300 kilometers amazing track had made us more knowledgeable and reenergized our small CPUs.
