Ras Mohammed national park is located in the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea, you can visit by land or water from Sharm el Sheikh. A return cab cost about £20, which was a bargain considering it was about an hour each way! There are many beaches to chose from, from the main beach you swim out in over a very shallow shelf from the bay and then the reef just drops away into oblivion, it's breathtaking. Manta rays and sharks inhabit the area along with the more common reef dwellers; conga eels, surgeon fish, hatchet fish, puffer fish, etc. all in large numbers with the grand backdrop of a reef falling away as far as the eye can see. A must for both hardcore and casual divers!

The Atomium is one of the most unusual buildings I have ever seen. It's a 100+ metre tall model of an iron crystal. Each 'iron atom' is a room and the 'bonds' contain escalators and stairs so you can travel between them, and enjoy the views. For novelty value this building gets 10 out of 10! When I visited it was being renovated but I believe the original contents of the museum are back in place now.

It's a cave open at both ends formed by a bubble in a lava flow. You walk down into it to find a pool in the bottom the inhabitants of which are albino crabs found only here in the entire world! As you exit you're confronted by a swimming pool that looks like an oasis in the desert, only the king is allowed to swim in it!

It is quite simply the best curry house I have ever had the pleasure of dining in. It has a large terrace with exquisite views over Naama Bay from it's high vantage point on the north side of the bay. It's worth the visit for the view alone. Its location, in the grounds of the Sofitel Hotel, is a pleasant 20 minute walk from the centre of the bay. The service is excellent, the food superb, and the price extremely reasonable! I really cannot recommend it highly enough. You needn't even be a guest of the hotel to dine there, "everyone is welcome" I was told by one of the very friendly staff. The perfect place to replenish your energy after a 'hard' day's diving.
