Snorkelled off pier at Zeytouna beach, had a couple of beers on the balcony at the apartment and then flew back home.

Spent the day on the Movenpick beach again. Swam out to the artificial island. Saw a big clam and sea cucumber and also a ray.

Went snorkelling with coral tours, 270Le trip. First stop was marvelous. However second stop was for fishing, short changed again. Saw some dolphins. Boat very small and hard to get back on.

Went on a desert trip with Pro Tours (in Marina) to see Bedouin people.
Bedouin camp was fake, probably they all upped sticks and left due to all the noisy quad bikers. Dinner and camel ride included. Some very nice desert scenery that you don’t see every day.

One day boat trip with Orca Diving, next to Turtle Inn on Marina. Cost 453LE.
Very pleasant boat to spend a day on, sunbathing, reading and snorkelling. Lunch served on board. Some great snorkelling near Sinai. Second stopoff was not so good for snorkellers, probably better for the divers.

Spent the day on the beach at the Movenpick hotel resort. 85 LE charge included sunbed, towels and umbrella.

Spent the day getting our bearings, took all the bus routes.

Visited KL bird park, butterfly park (both in Lake Gardens), then central market. Had a masala dosa in little india before visiting the Petronas Towers and TV Tower. Also dropped in the Aquarium (not recommended!). Did the jungle walk around the tv tower , lots of jungle noises but not even a whiff of a monkey.
Japanese buffet for dinner.
