A guide by Garnetta
This is the real Egyptian deal - stuffed pigeon. Eat it at Farhaat in Khan el-Khalili market.
Khan el-Khalili market is just north of the Citadel in central Cairo.
This magnificent place called Ghannah Lodge is situated in Dolphin village near Nuweiba port. It is a project for sustainable development build by a Belgian non profit organisation.
The place earns its name: Ghannah which means paradise. The accommodation is clean, spacious and with a magnificent sea view. The sanitation is better than in any other place I visited in all Egypt.
The Bedouin atmosphere is real, it reflects exactly what people are looking for when they visit the Sinaï to meet the local people and to experience the real taste of the Sinai Desert.
The lodge offers every a meal every evening in a Bedouin tent in the oasis. In the morning, the smell of the bread on the fire made by the bedouin women wakes you tenderly and prepares you for taking breakfast near the sea.
Ghannah Lodge left me with very wonderful memories: people with a very big sense of hospitality, a place of peace on earth, the memory of something real without the feeling of being only a tourist! I think it is a place you can recommend to anybody visiting Sinaï.
