I have uploaded some of the most interesting photos that had been taken during my holidays in June 2007. It was a very interesting trip to Sharm El Sheikh at the Red Sea in Egypt. We have also been to Israel during these holidays to see Jerusalem and Bethlehem. I spent over ten beautiful sunny days in Sea Club Resort in Sharm El Sheikh. Take a look at these photos:

The Great Sphinx - thismonumental statue, the first truly colossal royal sculpture in Egypt, known as the Great Sphinx, is a national symbol of Egypt.

The Great Sphinx is believed to be the most immense stone sculpture in the round ever made by man. The Sphinx faces the rising sun with a temple to the front which resembles the sun temples which were built later by the kings of the 5th Dynasty.
