#desert I had an exhilarating time ATV riding in the Sinai Desert! 🏜️ Located near Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, this adventure is a must for thrill-seekers. For around $60, I got a two-hour ride through the stunning desert landscapes, with safety gear and a guide included. The vast, sandy expanses and rocky terrain made for a thrilling ride as we sped across the dunes and navigated rugged trails. 🚀 The experience started with a brief safety briefing and practice session, which helped ease any nerves. Once we were out in the desert, the guide took us on an exciting route, offering plenty of opportunities to push the ATV to its limits. The highlight was reaching a high viewpoint, where the panoramic views of the desert were absolutely breathtaking. 🏜️ Nearby, you can explore the historic St. Catherine's Monastery or take a camel ride for a change of pace. Both offer a fantastic way to soak in the unique desert landscape. 🌄 The combination of adrenaline and stunning scenery made this one of the best adventures of my trip. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable desert experience! 🚀 #trip #ATVRiding #SinaiDesert #SharmElSheikh #DesertAdventure #EgyptTravel

I stayed at Il Mercato Hotel & Spa, a reasonably priced and recommended hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. It was a beautiful and comfortable hotel, and the buffet meals were plentiful. It's far from the sea, so when you go to the sea, you can take the hotel's free shuttle bus to a beach club called REEF BEACH. You can also choose the all-inclusive option when booking, so it's a recommended hotel where you can stay at a good price with meals included ^_^ Thank you for visiting Trip Memory 😊 Please like and follow us. #HotelReview

A live-action version of Disney's Parsha Cafe that looks like Aladdin. It's a space that boasts a mysterious atmosphere as if you've entered a movie! This place, which has a unique structure with a staircase design along the coastal cliff, is beautiful during the day, but it's even more romantic when the lights come on at night. I recommend visiting during the day and enjoying the sunset and dinner time! Since there are no seats at sunset, I recommend going early. Also, as a side note, men alone won't be accepted! You have to bring a woman with you. 🙂 #March Travel Support Grant Event
