Sharm el Sheikh has become a resort city with many modern beach hotels and condos. However, like all cities in the Arab world, it has a charming old section where you'll find the souk, restaurants and older architecture. Naturally, being on the sea, fresh seafood is abundant in the restaurants. We found a great seafood place with tables out on the sidewalk, where we could watch the day's catch being unloaded and the ice being ground to keep it fresh for the night.
I have to say that my single most favorite thing to do on these trips (aside from being with my wonderful mate and just simply enjoying each other) isn't the sightseeing, but just sitting around in these cafe's or walking the streets watching people and soaking up the culture.
I think Bob liked his calamari!

Yep... Seven-Eleven in Old Sharm!
