When you have had enough of the beach and all the activities why not take an excursion to places of interest ie.

Old Sharm still retains the real Egyptian feel and this is where the local people do their shopping.

Have a go at haggling for your souvenirs, a great way to make new friends and have a new experience, relax and have a cup of tea and enjoy yourself.

Taxi's are widely available but do agree a price before getting in. Many will wait for you while you do your shopping or arrange to collect you later. Alternatively, try the local blue and white bus service. These run very often, there are no bus stops, just put your hand out to stop one. They are really cheap and it should not cost you any more than 5LE(50p) to get to Naama Bay, 1LE (20p) to Nabq .Give it a try. Transport can also be arranged at admin office.

Our first time at Egyptian Experience and we could not have found a better apartment than S1. Carole provided everything we could possibly want to know or use. The apartment is well situated away from the entrance and close to the pool. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall. the best of our 4 holidays to Sharm so far, we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and will definitely be returning to S1.

We would definitely return and would recommend the place. Thank you for everything. You provided a very nice personal touch to the accommodation.
