Sharm el-Sheikh, a desert resort town sitting
on the Sinai Peninsula along the Red Sea with a population of roughly 75,000 people.
This is the type of place you will go if you want to escape reality.
Sit back, relax, hang out by the beach and do a whole bunch of activities.
What's going on, guys?
My name is Mac Candee, also known as World Nomac,
and I'm currently traveling all around the world making videos about things
to do, travel guides, cost of living and so much more.

All right, guys, let's go ahead and hop right in.
I just want to mention that we only spent
about one day in Sharm el-Sheikh, but we definitely made that day count.
We had to squeeze it in between going
to Luxor as well as being in Dahab, which we'll have full videos on both
of those places and things you guys can do so make sure you check the link
in the description below if you want to see those videos as well.
Anyways, as I mentioned,
we made this day count, so make sure you stick around to the end
so you don't miss out on any awesome
recommendations on things to do here in Sharm el-Sheikh.
Our journey continues,
we are heading up to Sharm el-Sheikh, right, is that how you say it?
(I don't know) And she's the expert at it.
Tell me, how do you say it then, (Sharm el-Sheikh)
is that right? (Sharm el-Sheikh)
sharm el Sheikh. Sharm el Sheikh.
So that's where we're heading now,
we're taking about a one hour taxi to get up there.
And we're going to spend the day exploring
Sharm el-Sheikh and see how much we can show you before we have a flight this
evening where we're going to be heading over to Luxor.
All right,
we have now made it over to Sharm el-Sheikh.
We rented a hotel room basically at the nightly rate.
But we're only going to keep it for the daytime for about 14 or 15 US dollars.
So not too bad to have our stuff in a safe location.
But I can bet you in the next 12 months,
there'll be a bounce location to store your luggage.
So by the time you're watching this, you'll probably be all set with that.
If you're not familiar with what bounce is, it is short-term luggage storage.
So when you arrive in a place and you
don't know what you should do with your things, you can drop them off and know
they're safe and secure while you explore the city.
All right, guys, so we'll see you at the first stop here in Sharm el-Sheikh.
All right,
so our first stop here in Sharm el-Sheikh
is over at the old market.
So it's an interesting time to be
exploring this place because it's a Friday morning.
And if it's anything like Dubai, I got to fact check myself on this.
There's a lot of religious related things
that are happening. That would make sense why these streets are seemingly empty.
Every single shop owner is very focused on getting us in their shop.
I think there's just nobody else here.
So they're trying to make a sale
so it's just, it's an odd feeling here right now because it's just empty.
There's just nothing going on.
You'll probably be watching this video
at some point in the future when there is something going on.
And so it's still good to share that the old market is one of these really
cool spots to find any possible gift you could ever want and see some pool.
I think it's, it was a mosque where in you walk in, got some prayer calls that you can
probably hear in the background in this video right now. As I said,
you can get pretty much anything you want in these markets, including some fresh juice.
I paid about twenty-five Egyptian pounds, AKA, I got ripped off.
But that's OK.
I wasn't going to try and negotiate it.
I can tell this area is really hurting for some business
so, to pay a buck 50 versus probably what's normally maybe 30 cents.
I'm alright to do this time.
But if it was one of the normal days, I love to negotiate.
Love to bargain so I would normally. Next on the list
we're going to head down to the beach,
maybe get a drink, get a bite to eat and feel this full
relaxation mode you get when you visit Sharm el-Sheikh. After hanging out
on the beach for a little bit, we wanted to change things up, get a little energy in us
so we found a guy who, actually the guy found us when we were sitting down eating
and he was able to offer us a private boat rental for very, very cheap.
So the nice part about Sharm el-Sheikh,
if you're coming from the United States, as I am and as my friend was,
we were able to have amazing prices when we were doing things that would normally
cost us like ten times as much back in the United States. Alright guys
so our next thing to do here in Sharm el-Sheikh, once again with Maria del Carmen
and we are about to hop on this big boat for the next one hour here in Sharm el-Sheikh.
You can rent one for an hour with our negotiated price at six hundred Egyptian
pounds for one hour, which comes out to roughly like thirty-eight US dollars
with today's exchange rate. We will see you on the boat.
Where do you want to go, Maria? To the dolphins, of course.
We'll see if she gets that lucky.
I don't know about that though.
I'm lucky, I'm a lucky person.
We got the the private boat here where
we're taking out on the water here in Sharm el-Sheikh.
So at this point, we went to a cool snorkeling spot.
Got to see some beautiful blue,
crystal clear water, some coral, I really enjoyed that.
Then after that, we happen to see dolphins in the distance.
So we cruised down over to see if we could see them.
Name a happier person without actually naming a happier person (Me!)
Luckily, I had my GoPro running and I got a couple of shots of the dolphins swimming.
The nice part was the boat rental was a lot of fun, we were able to cruise
around and pretty much do whatever we wanted.
So after spending the evening on the boat,
it was time to see what the nightlife looked like in Sharm el-Sheikh.
All right guys, so we just finished up an afternoon here
in Sharm el-Sheikh, where I will tell you, it is a spot you will need to stop.
You will need to spend a night, three nights,
maybe a full week, depending on what you like to do.
We're here right on the main strip,
Maria del Carmen's enjoying a little strawberry, fresh fruit they have many of them.
And we're going to be exploring this side
of town for the evening, and I will tell you
that if you're in Sharm el-Sheikh, this main street,
you have everything from clubs, you have restaurants, you have Pacha,
which is a mixture of both and so much more.
So, see you here. All right, guys
and that pretty much wraps up this video
here exploring Sharm el-Sheikh for the day.
Obviously, you can do so many more things when you're visiting this cool little
beach town down here on the Sinai Peninsula.
But that's about all we could fit in for today.
If I were to go back,
I would definitely stay for at least a couple of days,
maybe stay in a cool little resort there and just enjoy the scenery.
It's a really beautiful part of Egypt.

because we were visiting a bunch of really cool temples over there.
