It's that moment in time again that defines the turning of one year to another, and it has nothing to do with purchasing new underwear! This year we see the largest number of British tourists and other nationalities arriving to Sharm for the Christmas and New Year holiday season. With the economic crisis affecting everybody…Sharm must still have a lot to offer.

To help everyone make the most of the festive season we share with you a look at the best and hippest things going on in town, plus updates on Sharm’s favourite establishments. 

We tell you about "Foods you'll want to taste while in Sharm el Sheikh".

We introduce you to Sharm’s most popular British DJ who fills us in on the ‘Ultimate Nightlife’ for the festive season. Take a stroll around the new Viva Mall, your 'one stop mall' for everything for the home - with their tastefully displayed showrooms, great quality and prices - it’s a social place developing for the community. And last but not least, if you want to play a few traditional board games at Christmas and much more besides; "The Christmas Shop" in Viva Mall offers you a warm welcome and a great photo opportunity for the children in their Santa’s Grotto.

From all of us here at The Book we wish you very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May 2009 make all your dreams come true.

We invite you all to the Sharm Information Centre at Viva Mall on Peace Road, where we have heaps more information to happily pass on.

If you are in business here in Sharm, make sure you are in The Book next month and be sure to be seen! We can pass your information on to all our readers and visitors to the Sharm Info Centre.
