Colored Canyon
February 15, 2007
When our colored
canyon tour guide picked us up, we were surprised to see that it was the same
guide we had for the Mount Sinai trip (especially as we booked the two trips
through different agencies). Again, we
were not disappointed. We were two of a
group of five, which made our tour more interesting as we moved a bit more
quickly than other groups so we stopped quite frequently to hear history or
trivia about various spots. We were
also shown many spots to climb up to or in to.
The canyons are beautiful and the colors of the stones against the deep
blue sky was more vivid than I could have possibly imagined. Amazing.

We asked our guide for a restaurant recommendation in Sharm al Sheikh and he sent us to Feris in Old Sharm. We were not disappointed. There was quite a crowd but it seems to turn over quickly. The menu is fairly simple. We went with salad and fish. A few of the items on the salad bar were quite spicy but nice. Each time someone ordered fish (so basically, a meal), one of the waiters would run out the front door and return a few minutes later with a bag with a fish in it. Not the most efficient procedure, but certainly entertaining if you have a seat by the door, and with how good the food is, simply a bonus.
