SHARM EL SHEIKH Lialy Kan Zaman Fish Restaurant

BEST RESTAURANT IN SHARM EL SHEIKH

Finest Restaurant I have found from UAE, Dubai to Iran, Saudi, Netherlamds Mediterranean to Scandinavia, finest range of dishes with superb cooks & great people running it too.
It stands in a range of restaurants at Sharm El Sheikh catering for Tourists from all over the World & has Tariq with a fine staff of sharp eyed experts who make anyone’s stays plus meals there an absolutely well presented treasure.
Watching all being controlled well was sheer pleasure & all the staff there enjoyed their tasks & had the best, freshest catches from Hamoor, (Grouper) Sigali (Squat Lobster to a rage of Crawfish to all sizes of Shellfish & Molluscs with the widest range of Shrimps & Langoustines my eyes have encountered, as an old Crayfisherman out of Milford Haven such a fresh array to choose from was a delight.
Local businessmen loved the fare & cuisine & people from all over the world enjoyed finely & widely flavoured “Shish” bubbled smokes at great pleasure & leisure, what a display of pleased people.
All this amidst MacDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken takeaways, Hard Rock Café with a Pink Cadillac outside, Thai Cooking, China Houses Sushi and Teppeniaki places, even a fish & Chip Shop!. amongst a huge range of Indian & Arab Cuisine ‘emporiums’ to please focal, vocal plus scented evenings so different to far off homelands.
An absolute credit to Egypt itself, by Tariq and his great bunch of staff, even a Tabby Egyptian Mau cat would wander in and decide whether to politely ask for a morsel or two, sitting alongside diners, before just walking out, strutting through Tourists, holding it’s tail high to it’s home back in the bazaar, nobody pushed or hurt that cat or others.

Just adjacent to the fine Restaurant is a Italian Coffee shop with fine ranges of Coffes to more than Rival it's nearby Starbuck competition, Baskin & Robbins Ice cream shop across the square could cater for all Nationalities curiosities into Ice dreams.

Next Door was where we hired a trip to Cairo from a great young salesman with a huge grin who sold us a flight & back to Cairo, the following day, being picked up at our hotel with packed breakfasts, being met at Cairo & being transported with a guide to Cairo Museum who onpassed greatly empassioned data on relics & treasures which had beed spirited from Egypt to Britain France & America and other locations.

Never mind (ma alesh) Tutenkhamun's fabulous Gold encasements & he told us how to recognise Royalty by the folded arms, Kings by their beards, others by their left foot forward, Nubis Horus & Ra & their properties in the Hieroglyphic histories, with the Key of life being passed for travel, the weighing of the good in a monarch's heart & organs & the Rosetta stone being transported to England when it was the entire secret decipered by a learned Frenchman to translate back into time the entire historic Hieroglyphic linkage

ALL FROM A NAME BEING TRACED BACK TO BEING EMPHASISED WITHIN A CARTOUCHE!, Egypt's proud history restarted there!.
From there to a Felucca trip up the Nile to have our (included) Lunch.
Could we manage more in a city of 21 Million people wherein we could not spot a car without a dent in to the Museum's Papyrus factory where skilled Artisans produced the Museum copies for Tourists to keep the Art alive & keep funds flowing to help the finest Museum.

Then on to Giza where we reached around 20 Pyramids plus the Shinx which has been a fascination of mine, with HANY our learned Guide & a driver who should be considered for 2010 Formula 1 driving through back alleys of the Old Bazaar in Cairo. Then to the Airport & Back to Sharm El Sheikh.

Our Party of 10 People had beed taken by Eastmor, they had been an Iraqi father & son, an Irani Family, 2 Scotsmen who had decided what the heck let's go & loved it, an Englishman with a Japanese wife all with great senses of humour, & we all loved that trip and laughed the whole way when Hany was not entertaining ang lovingly informing us of Egypt's past.

We were warned not to buy anything from the 'spivs' at the Pyramids & Sphinx, they were hilarious guys too, .

A photo on the Camel sir? free! & when on the Camel a tourist found it was free for the camel to stand up, but it did cost to come down plus the picture taken by the spiv & return of the Camera also cost a small sum, THIS WAS "Camel Law".

Next few doors away stood Bacchus's Supermarket where tourists furnished their hotel rooms with " Finest Pharoah's wines which were not all that bad & were denied to have used Nile Waters in their fermentation.

'Champagne for the Christmas Parties & New Years eve festivities however was about the worst yet, though few cared to mention it.

At the Turning then into the Bazaar's "under construction mate" site the Time Machine place sold watches of all description, & a £2,850 Rolex Submariner repro was attractive enough for me to pay nearly £20 for with a verbal warning of not to wear it in the shower!.

Our first purchase adjuster wd not work, this was immediately replaced, at no charge for a working one.

Ali Baba and his 40 associates seemed to have expanded rapidly, though with some Arabic exchanges more laughing than cheating took place.

We even asked the opinion of the lad who sold us that Cairo Trip on an advertised One Hour Submarine excursion around the bay, to be told candidly that the value in his opinion was Sh** & not to waste our money.

You do not get cheated all the time there, if traders like your attitude, fun level just shoots up.

Bay View Hotel, we had paid without knowing or seeing and a hotels with Russians & Germans Europeans & all sorts came on an "all inclusive" basis & most English complained about it.

If you went & expected high Quisine as all inclusive then you did expect a lot, many nationalities ate different sorts of nosh, Russians piled plates high enough to be strongmen families of Moscow state Circus or balancing wonders with metre high platefuls with a desert topping.

We paid for food we wanted, gave tips & got attended like special guests whilst the all inclusive wallahs never gave tips to bloody good hotel staff who were not on high wages anyway & had humour you all must pack first to go to Egypt.

Each day we wd go down to the Posh Folk's beaches pay a tiny amount to lay there with fine service whilst "all inclusives" which walked past all wore plastic bracelets which were not particularly noted to be 'esteemed wear' & they did seem treated as displaced persons.

Yes there are construction sites around Bay View Hotel, like spain around 30 yrs ago, All Inclusive Russians have vanquished the Germans for early rising & putting towels on sunbeds around the pool, neither were regarded as good to attend to since tips from both sort seemed collectors items.

Scottish poonds were regarded as monopoly money & the Jocks were quite rightly taking that up with Thomas Cooke travel folk.

The lads! from the TIME MACHINE Watches of "all makes" store, great people!!

Above the great bunch of lads from the Maharaja Beach Bedouin Bar, a really grand bunch of hilarious gentlemen too.

BAY VIEW HOTEL: It is not the Hilton, however get in touch with the hotel be email & they will sort out the Best Deal in Egypt for a stay at Sharm El Sheikh.

ALL the bunch there from reception Room Cleaners to Bar Staff & Security men too honestly put themselves out to make your stay there memorable.

If you fancy a Trip to Cairo? they fix it with the best, even if you are looking for a flight to Sharm El Sheikh? ask these guys, amazing what they can do.

Amazing too is that every darn thing is done with a sense of humour so always pack your sense of humour to Egypt.

Absolutely great people & reachable by email, see their website too.

Trip to Cairo from Bay View Hotel by Plane was a superb arrangement, Hany as a guide was a great & the driver a genius!

Staff had been up all night decorating, they were all great great to know. this was 4 am waiting for the bus to take us to the Cairo flight!!, even the cats played their part too.

We met fine people on what turned out to be a great trip.

Each and every true Egyptian will get a a laugh out of ANY situation, magic people whose culture was probably enough to have seen Mary & Joseph looking for a wifi signal.

This was humour, the 'Bedouin' in the brown dishdash on the edge of the Desert at GIZA telling me he was off home early to see Egypt playing a friendly against Malawi!!!

Cairo Museum, a world Archive!
