Do not climb a tree to look for a fish Walking down the Naama Bay promenade, I stopped to get my favourite ice-cream from Vanilla during my lunch break. I had an hour to burn. The weather was beautiful. As I was quietly enjoying my favourite Sinai morning sunshine, and ice-cream, I came across one of my mum’s old friends. I always loved this woman – she was always so soothing to talk to and be around. When mum and I would fight, she was always the one to bring back the peace. I haven’t seen this woman in 12... |

Memoirs of a Sharmer The man started to tell me about how he had started up his business a long time ago and how he had originally had big hopes. Then five months ago, he had planned on having a big hotel and had already booked it up for the next year, hired staff and organized parties. However, all his hopes came crashing down when he couldn’t get a permit for the hotel... |

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched I started chatting to him for a while and told him all about how I was looking for gifts and so. Immediately he said he knew where I could get them and if I waited on the bench until I finished my cigarette, he would go get them for me. |

Memoirs of a Sharmer Look Before You Leap |

Memoirs of a Sharmer Sadly, I started strolling along the shores when my mobile rang; it was an old friend I had not spoken to in ages. I was in two minds whether to answer or not, feeling guilty that I had not called in so such a long time. We had met a couple of years ago here in Sharm and she has always been there for me. Finally answering, I was greeted by the warm welcoming voice of my friend. I started to feel a lot better talking to someone; someone who knew me so well that I could be myself with... |

Easy Print In Sharm
The season is starting, and that means marketing, marketing, and marketing. The road race begins for businesses to get out there, and capture their required target markets. The common methodology for this, prior to the opening of Easy Print, was, let’s print flyers thousands of flyers, using offset printing techniques, so we can distribute them all over town town. Surely if one prints 5,000 flyers and distributes them, people will show up to their venue. Isn’t that how it always worked? At Easy Print, and in Europe and the States, that is considered an ultimate waste of money and paper.
Today in Sharm, there are new tools you can use, to ensure your print requirements are made Easy.

To Sharm Parents
I was fortunate enough to become a parent, and what I can say so far is, parenting is a tough job – tougher than any other job, let alone in a place like Sharm, with all its diversities. With this mind, I did a little bit of research. I spent the last 2 weeks having chats with different parents about what their take on parenting in Sharm is like. It was very interesting what I learnt.

My Daughter My Love
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
(Solomon Ibn Gabirol)
Daughters warm your heart.
From the day they are born until the day you hand them over into someone else’s care.
A daughter is truly a blessing, a gift from God.
What do you do when a nervous young man asks your permission to marry your angel?
When you know her heart and wings have already flown into his nest. When you know this nervous young man is worthy of her love? You rejoice.
The happiness you feel is twofold, the first is recognition that she has finally grown up and chosen a partner to accompany her on the most important journey of her life.

Dear Lady
I don't know from where I can start I am an Egyptian lady living in sharm for 2 and half years. I am 23, and recently i am not feeling well here. I choose to write to you because I like what you always write, and also because you are in the same city, so maybe u will understand me. I feel that Sharm is full of russians and every time i look around me i find them with open clothes, and egyptian men around them holding their hands and maybe more! When I apply to any good position that suits my qualifications, the answer is, sorry we need a russian girl...i’m not saying they are all bad, some of them are my best friends, but some have to respect our traditions.
