A Gem of the Middle East
What can I say about this place other than simply amazing! The scenery is breathtaking they have a beautiful natural pool. They have their own private beach which you have a perfect view of from the castle. Also no evening could be complete without watching their have a famous diving dog Mocha! When I came I had the Lamb and really the best I have ever tasted they cook everything for a really long time (everything on the menu takes 1-3.5 hours) so come early or book ahead but it is definitley worth the wait. The meat so moist and tender and you get HUGE portions so bring your appetite! I hope to go back to the Sinai in May and I look forward to returning and sampling the rest of the menu. The freash fruit cocktails are to die plus the staff is really friendly. Dont leave without having a peek at the cool dungeon/treasure room. I just loved it    [18 Nov 2006 09:12:58]

Simply Amazing!
Fantastic view, delicious food, morish cocktails, friendly staff, fascinating architecture, groovy music... and I just can keep going! Egypt/Sinai is one of my favourite destinations... and I always end up staying in the area around Castle Zaman (I prefer this area much better than what is now commercial Sharm and Dahab -- but you just need to know where to go/stay ;-)... and now no trip is complete without going at least once to the Castle (but do not confuse it with the historic castle that is on an island 5 miles or so from the Israeli border!). The place hasn't been around for long (probably officially opened in 2003 -- I was lucky enough to see it few times while it was still being built ;-P), but build with a middle age design. It is set on top of a hill (hence the panaramic view), has a lovely bar and restaurant, a swimming pool that blends in with the hill and of course showers if you need to freshen up from the pool or sea (they have a "private" beach across the road from the hill... nice corals, and nice to swim and laze about, but nothing is built on the beach so far and it's quite close to the road... but there's potential there if they decide to do somethign with it!). In the "dungeon" of the castle there's a shop that actually sells good stuff for souvenirs and gifts (it's not the usual touristie stuff that you find everywhere). The place opens in the morning till late (12pm or so... depending on the customers). Well, there's few articles reviewing the place on their website... so have a look if you need to find out more!! Very highly recommended!    [01 Feb 2007 18:39:01]
