32 years ago I made my first scuba dive in Naama Bay, where this hotel is located. Then, it was about 5 hotels, a couple of restaurants, and an airport nearby. That was nice compared to what it is here now. Too many hotels, too many restaurants, and especially too many people! It is a mess! I did one dive in the bay, but won’t get to do any on the reef – just not enough time. But, someone who does dive says the objective of the dive boats is to move as many people as fast as they can, from reef to reef, so he decided not to dive here again. If that is right, and it likely is, then I don’t think I’d like the diving anyway.
Coming here, and seeing what a tourist trap Sharm el Sheik has become, makes me want to go to Vietnam, and those other parts of the world that are still sane, before they too go crazy with tourists.
Three nights here then a couple in Abu Dhabi, then I make my way back to TRH.
