And when the leaders of the world have to combine work with pleasure they Sharm el-Sheikh it up.
The fabled resort on the Egyptian Red Sea was, of course, the setting for the Middle Eastern peace conference.
Fittingly, really, as the great watery pleasure ground fronts on to eight states.
Which you’ll know if you’ve been taken out on the water.
Which, we were, in our case by Zuhair, our Jordanian guide on our G Adventures break.
Alas in this region you are never too far away from reminders of conflicts past and present.
Such as tanks which have been dropped in the sea… to help with the marine life.
And which the snorkelers in our party availed of, swimming down to the great hulks.
While others wimped out on first contact with the water and got back on board to get an early start on lunch.
Now should you wish to alight on Sharm el-Sheikh and it is to my regret that I caved in to the Scary One.
And gave away our invitation there back in the day to a less deserving colleague and friend.
Then here are five 5* options hand-picked by our friends at the welcomingly named Plenty Holidays.
With emojis compliments of Plenty Holidays, symbols we think would meet The Donald’s approval.
