THE ONE WITH THE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION IN SAHL HASHEESH

Lets talk about this astonishing destination called Sahl Hasheesh for a moment. Beautiful detailed landscapes, wonderful shores, clear blue waters and breath-taking architectures.

Ahmed's birthday was coming up and the past month was a nightmare in all it's details, we were faced with family crises and heartbreaking news. We both really needed a break especially he, so i started think about the best was to spend the day and I saw that what we needed was a romantic get-away, and so Sahl Hasheesh hit me. And indeed it hit the jackpot. 

The city is quite small, and still under construction, but quite beautiful. It has three main attractions, the "Old Town" , the "Arrival Piazza" and the "Pier".


The Old town was truly breath-taking, it is built with same architecture of Egypt's building in the 50s, with small buildings having old style apartments for Sale. It also feature a whole range of local and international shops and outlets that are about to open soon. The town overlooks the coast with the beautiful palm trees, soft yellow sands and the clear blue waters. It was like you time traveled from Old Egypt to Cannes or Miami. There are quite a few restaurants and cafes that are over-looking this beautiful view. I can't find anything to describe it better than pictures.



    


Then there comes the pier, that takes along the beach into the middle of the sea where you can see the remains of the sunken city. Golf carts are available for rent by the hour to walk along the pier and explore the beautiful city.

 

Finally, the "Arrival Piazza" the huge beautifully designed, 'arabesque' inspired space, filled with flowing fountains and colorful lights. Truly the jewel of Sahl Hasheesh.



















After we finished our lovely tour in Sahl Hasheesh we went back to the hotel to chill by the pool then took a nap and then got ready for ahmed's birthday dinner, where we went to the indian resturant called "Zafran" at The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh.
The hotel and the restaurant were truly amazing, the service was unbelievable and the food was spectacular. You can't go to Sahl Hasheesh and not try the fine dining experience of "Zafran"

To sum up, Sahl Hasheesh is a must go to destination ;)


Thank you and see in the next blog.
