Thanks Briar. I knew I could rely on you. It sounds just our kind of place.

Thanks again. I am sure we wil try it there. We are only B&B in the hotel.

Yes we hope to eat out most evenings Briar, although we are only there for a week, so all recommendations will be greatfullly received.

El fenar beach you would want to go to is, if you take a taxi, down the hill below the light house, they normally try to stop at the top of the hill. It is 40 LE admission i think, (not if you are just eating) they have sunbeds in the beach area and it is very relaxed atmosphere.
As for other places to stay, I would recommend sinai star for great fish and Masrien for meat - both in old sharm. Another favourite of mine there is El Housen, its a bit hard to give directions, but if you ask someone in old sharm they could tell you. Or in Naama bay i like Dananeer for steak.

Where are you staying in Ras Um Sid ?? We were at the Hilton Waterfalls in 2005

El Fanar is a short walk -still doesn't stop the taxi's from trying though

We ate there a couple of times very nice food but the portion size were small even for Steph on Weightwatchers
So we ended up having all the starters and main and pudding and yes it was worth it

We also got there before sunset and sat outside in the bar area to watch the sunset


Enjoy yourself

Hi Gray

I'm staying at the rennaisance golden view beach, will I be able to walk it then? Dont mind if I have to have everything on the menu so long as its nice. Love the picture it will be worth it for the sunset alone.

Any closer and you'd be able to chuck rocks

you're about 200 metres away from it

Glad you liked the picture of the sunset I posted

Thanks Gray

Am I next door to the hilton waterfalls then? if so has it got any restaurants that are worth trying, or is it an AI that I wont be able to get in?

The Waterfalls had a couple of building sites between it it's not AI the only restaurant worth anything in it was the Italian restaurant so the El Fanar is tops we didn't like the other restaurants in the hotel as there are better in Naama Bay

We particularly like the Teppanyaki restaurant near Sinai Divers
