On the road trip from Elait to Sharm, we stopped at a nice gas station south of Taba for a cup of coffee. They don't have gas station stops like this in the States!
This is what the view is like for most of the trip down the coast road from Taba to Sharm el Sheikh.
Bob and me on the terrace of our lodging at South Camp.
We took a couple of Bob's South Camp staff to lunch in Old Sharm. This is a seafood restaurant they introduced him to last year, and one we ate at last spring as well. Great food! Huge portions! My lunch alone could have fed the four of us.
We spent time this trip exploring the Namma Bay area of Sharm. It's a very touristy area, with dozens of resort hotels, and full of modern chain restaurants, many clothing & jewelry stores as well as souvenir shops and traditional Egyptian market stalls. Here's Bob in front of "American row" with KFC, Baskin-Robbins, Pizza Hut and TGI Fridays!
And me in front of the Hard Rock Cafe'!
And OF COURSE, Starbuck's! Same coffee drinks, same decor, but MUCH better desserts!
Some shots of the Namma Bay center from the roof of a restaurant called The Camel Bar, which is owned by an Australian.
Having a drink at The Camel Bar
Some really pretty yellow hibiscus. It was all over the grounds of the Marriott Hotel in Taba. I'd never seen big yellow hibiscus trees like this before.

Spending Sharm el Sheikh Luxury holidays would really be great.
