A short time ago, I was questioned by a friend of mine what the most romantic thing to do on a trip in Sharm. He was planning to ask his girlfriend to marry him on an upcoming holiday getaway and naturally was looking to pick the most suitable location.
I had to think about this as although I go to Egypt often, is almost always to go diving or rest on the beach which even though it is an ideal way to spend a holiday, it was not really what he was looking for.
I thought the nicest restaurants with perfect views but not much really sprung to mind. I began to give thought to the several excursions that were on offer to holiday makers. There are a variety of excursion options on the market including trips by airplane to Cairo, Luxor and the Lost City of Petra in Jordan. Additionally you can also take a visit from Sharm el Sheikh to Jerusalem.
Even so, these excursions are many hours long and are usually exhausting so I started looking at options a bit nearer to Sharm el Sheikh. You will discover many potential alternatives such as a Bedouin dinner under the clear skies but the harder I thought about it, there was just one real option. The excursion to Mount Sinai and St Catherine's Monastery departs Sharm el Sheikh just before the sun rises. After 2-3 hours, you get to Mount Sinai in the heart of the desert and start to climb up the mountain. From your view point, you wait in anticipation of the Sinai sunrise.
The desert in this region of Egypt is picturesque with a combination of sand and colourful mountains. As the sun comes up and begins to climb in the sky, you start to sense its welcoming rays and the shadows dance all across the curves of the adjacent mountain tops. It really is a marvelous and romantic occasion. The trip to Mount Sinai is one of the daily tours from Sharm and is well worth getting up early for.
