Jenny's unconvinced by the explanation that naming a place "Shark Bay" is simply a marketing ploy to encourage the divers into pelagics who might otherwise avoid the more truthful "No Sharks Here Bay".
The mountains - bare reddish/brown rock - are stark and dramatic as we come in to land at Sharm-el-Sheik and even more impressive close up as we drive north to Dahab.
We pass through a police checkpoint just outside Dahab. Is this security to protect the tourist trade or to police the population?
Up early next morning for breakfast. Too early. A whole hour too early because we're only 2 hours ahead of GMT not 3 hours ahead as I'd thought when re-setting the watch (a new toy from Duty Free - more of which later).
The hotel is in a beautiful setting - with low white buildings around a central lagoon, on the edge of the sea with the mountains for a backdrop.
