Thumbs up We got it in Sharm!!

Hi - this is where Sharm, in my opinion, is a little more advanced. We already have a pork butchers that is doing very well. It has started to supply pork products to Papa's outlets who now have full english breakfast and ham,egg and chips on their menus. There is a new bookstore that has opened which is on a bring and buy basis. Take in your books that you have read whilst on holiday sell them to the owner and then buy others cheaply. How many of us leave our read books in our hotel rooms or in the hotel lobby??

We also have Sharm women website that has sections for jobs, wanted, for sale and a forum and whats on guide.

On arrival at the airport tourists are given free info packs which contain a fab little book called Hello Red Sea. This is also distributed in Dahab and Nuweiba. It is full of useful info such as know it, do it, speak, it, taste it, etc etc. There is also a small section on ' own it ' that gives some advise and there is only 1 advert for holiday homes from Delta Sharm. There are no Real Estates advertising in this great little book that is given out to thousands of tourists.

There is another free book called the Mix which has monthly issues and can be picked up from restaurants, bars, supermarkets etc. There are 7000 copies distributed monthly. Again a great read but has more info on buying. It also has a directory of names, addresses and phone numbers for shops, restaurants, real estate etc ( they run your news and listings FREE of charge )
