Sharm El Sheikh Annual Camel Festival - May 2009
If you thought camels were just the slow-moving plodders of the animal world, think again. These hump-backed creatures actually provide some of the speediest and bumpiest racing there is, as any well-seasoned traveler unfortunate enough to have had their bones vigorously shaken will testify.
With over 250 camels from 17 different Egyptian tribes, this will be something of a large-scale event, and the races promise to be thrilling.
Though the novice camel-rider is perhaps safest merely spectating during this festival, it is without a doubt a sight to behold. If you're in Sharm El-Sheikh for some diving, it is worth surfacing to witness an equally spectacular, though slightly less serene, example of nature in action.

Experience Little Buddha Bar & Lounge Sharm El Sheikh !
Little Buddha, the sister venue of the Buddha Bar Paris, is another episode in a story of success from Paris, Las Vegas, Beirut to Sharm El Sheikh.
Little Buddha Bar situated at the tropical Na'ama bay hotel, has everything you could wish for a perfect night out.
As soon as you walk through the huge doorway, you are thrown into a different world ruled by the giant golden Buddha placed smack in the middle of the restaurant.
The atmosphere at the downstairs restaurant is peaceful; Asian and hip at the same time. You can choose to sample the delicious Sushi freshly prepared in front of your eyes at the Sushi bar or sit at one of the tables and let your taste buds feast on a combination of Asian fusion cuisine.
After dinner head upstairs to the semicircular stylishly lit bar where the vibe is a mix of chill, hype and sophisticated. There is plenty of room for dancing, wondering around or relax in the laid-back stylish sitting area.
The whole venue has the charm of an Asian temple and the vibe of a warm, exotic and peaceful haven.
Little Buddha Sharm is opening its doors to welcome everyone to eat, drink and dance the night away !
