Visiting the mosque was the highlight of the experience

The visit was scheduled...

The visit to the mosque in old Sharm was planned but we lost a lot of time in the shopping place and arrived at prayer time, consequently we did not enter. Our guide did not accompany us inside the Orthodox church so we had no explanation. In short, an approximate excursion...... Also the guides got off the bus before all of us. The old sharm deserves to be seen with a little calm

Best of the best!!!!!

Omg!!! I am beyond satisfied with the tour. Nada my guide is amazing. I cant believe she paid attention to all my photos , she even made sure my hair and outfit was perfect for the photo. She explained to me history, next thing.. she became a friend. She is genuine and care for her clients. Honestly, i spoke to many tour companies and cancelled bec i felt like they just want money. Till i came across sharm gate and called them. I forgot who i spoke w and i felt comfortable. I ask for a photographer and he recommended bono. I am traveling solo and wanted to be safe, want nice photos and enjoy. Sharm gate made this happen!!! To sharm gate, i suggest you make a tour w a photographer included or optional bec sharm is a very nice place and im sure people like me wants to have great memories and bono captured every single one of them. I highly recommend bono and thank you for finding him for me. Nada and bono and very proffesional . I felt so safe w them. The photos?? Stunning!!!!!
