The Prince of Egypt

Once upon a time, my study abroad program sent me to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt for midterm break.  

Now, I had heard that we were staying in a 5-star resort, but I thought that this was just an exaggeration.  When I got to the resort, I found out that this was absolutely the truth.

Sonesta Beach Resort and Casino will forever be the pinacle of travel in my mind.  The words "all-inclusive" sum up just about every thing that I can say.  Six pools, gorgeous sunshine, beach access, swim up bars, excellent food from all over the world, and a beach walk featuring authentic Middle Eastern shops selling everything you can imagine.  

My general daily schedule:
*8:00 - Eat breakfast.  
8:30 - Get spot ready by the pool.
9:00 - Lay out at the pool.
10:30 - Roll over.
12:00 - Eat lunch.
12:30 - Pick up stuff and move to the beach.
1:00 - Lay out at the beach.
3:45 - Roll over.
6:30 - Watch the sunset over the mountains.
7:00 - Dinner
7:30 - Walk the beach walk, see the city, etc.
2:00 - Bedtime.
*Once, we got up at 4am to go out into the desert to ride ATVs.

I'm going to let the pictures do the talking from this point forward.

 


 

















I'll end with the simple fact that I can never go on vacation again because this trip ruined everything that I could hope to enjoy.

Ridiculous.
