Advantages: Alf in a movie! Disadvantages: No Tanner family
ALF or Alien Life Form was an American 80's sitcom about a wise cracking cat eating friendly Alien who crash landed on Earth and spent his time hiding with the Tanner family trying to avoid the US Government and also trying to eat their cat Lucky. His real name was Gordon Shumway and he came from a planet called Melmac. This movie was a sequal to the final episode of the TV series and the Tanner family do not feature in it.
The movie starts at Edmonds Air Force Base with a meeting of military top brass discussing Project ALF which is classified Top Secret. We meet Colonel Gilbert Milfoil (Martin Sheen) who suggests the elimination of Alf however his junior subordinates disagree and wish to keep him for analysis or even release.
The tv series is briefly referenced and the Tanners are written out by stating they live under the Witness ...

Advantages: Luxurious, watersports, great lagoon, good food Disadvantages: Extra food and drinks expensive, no snorkelling in lagoon
The Hilton Dahab is a fairly green hotel spread across the Dahab coastline. There is a nice golden sand beach, although it is too hot to walk on without shoes in summer, so I would recommend buying some beach/swimming shoes from the hotel shop. The lagoon in lovely for swimming and very walm, although there is little in terms of marine life. There is a dive centre (sinai divers) which can arrange diving and snorkelling trips and courses.
We were on Half board, which was a good deal as you could have a pizza or snack for lunch on the beach (expensive)! The breakfasts are hilton standards (fantastic) and the buffet dinners are also good.
There is a games room with billiards and table tennis which you can hire.
The rooms are in blocks, and are very comfortable, as you would expect from a 5* hotel. There may be an amount of walking to ...

Advantages: Beautiful Red Sea Resort. Similar to Sharm El Sheikh but a much more reasonable price, more atmosphere. Disadvantages: Street traders/ hawkers may annoy some people. To me, all part of the experience.
I stayed here for a week whilst on a bigger tour of Egypt. Beautiful place; incredible scenery and excellent opportunities for Scuba diving / snorkelling at the world famous "Blue Hole" where the sea life will take your breath away.
I found Dahab to have more atmosphere than Sharm El Sheikh but it depends what you're looking for. Dahab tends to attract a younger, less-family type crowd, back-packer types and has the laid-back attitude to match. Facilities range from basic to much more luxorious; you get what you pay for.
By night, the fish restuarants and coffee shops "bedouin style" are excellent value and very tasty. Avoid the local alcohol though; it tastes pretty lethal.
An excellent base for trips into Sinai, up Mount Catherine and I highly recommend the Safari to the Coloured Canyon. Dahab is excellent value for money ...
