^^haha, ye quad biking was good, not too keen on the herbal tea shite they give you though half way through.
snorkling was really good too but if you can dive id definately do that.
there now seems to be a huge water park their iv not been but my ex is a rep over their at the min and says its really good.
try and find out if pacha in the desert is on when you are their totally weird experience being pi$$ed up in the middle of no where in a canyon type thing but was really good, dont let the shop keepers get you in the shop as unless you are really good at saying no you will end up buying something, they too provide the herbal tea shite lol
taxis ae fun

Going to Sharm on 31st August for 10 days, can't wait.
All inclusive, got a snorkelling trip planned around an Island that i can't remember the name of, it begins with T though i think.
also wanted to do Stargazing in the desert, with an evening meal out there, but apparently 4 people need to book at once for that, and there's only 2 going.
My sister went a couple of years ago and loved it, can't wait, only 5 months now

the stargazing is shit hot, go of into the desert with the bedouins and have a traditional bbq type thing. then they take you up onto the top of this hill where they have the telescopes and show you all kinds of things, saturns rings, mars etc...
it really is unbelievable though and i think its the only thing i would bother doing again when i go back.
we also went on a diving/snorkeling boat trip and tbh i thought it wasnt worth it, you didnt really see that much differant to what you can see if you just go 20 meters out off the beach with your own snorkel.
id also reccomend the 2 day trip to Cairo.

We were hoping to do the nile cruise then red sea, but was working out too much, also the 2 day trip to Cairo is pretty expensive as well, hopefully we'll be able to sort out the stargazing, it's available on the thomsons excursion website for just 2 people so should be ok, if not i'd imagine we can book it at a welcome meeting or something like that anyway

there's 2 waterparks, one is utter shite it's the newest one there. Built around an egyption theme wouldn't bother with that at all. Go to the other one which is amazing, it's built around hotels. I will post some pics in a min
