Ain Sokhna is about 2 hours drive from Cairo. I had booked into a hotel south of Porto Sokhna called "Romance Hotel". Doesn't really live up to it's name unless all those young families were conceived there.
Anyway the idea was to have a break from the hustle and bustle of Ma'adi. What I hadn't really researched well enough was that there was no alcohol and the nearest alcohol was probably at the Movenpick Hotel half an hour back towards Cairo. Five days without a beer isn't such a bad thing I guess. The other major letdown was the lack of a decent coffee - latte that is. However, we did survive and we did enjoy our R & R, as the photos will show.

Our very big room even had a dining area and double deck
overlooking the pool and beach. |

| Luckily the hotel wasn't busy. Plenty of beach chairs to lie on. |
 |
| First swim in a long time. The sea was warmer than the pool. |
 |
| Time out from the sun playing chess and pool. |
 |
| Afternoon walks on the beach. |
 |
| Managed a bit of jet skiing in between reading and swimming. |
 |
| View across the Gulf of Suez to Sinai Peninsula from our hotel room. |
Next holiday? Homeward bound in July.
