Swim With Whale Sharks, Snorkel And Dive In Luxury On The Red Sea
Diving in the Red Sea at Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh The Red Sea is a known hotspot for juvenile whale shark clusters, particularly during the spring and summer months and the best place to have your one-on-one experience is at The Oberoi Beach Resort Sahl Hasheesh in Hurghada, Egypt. The resort overlooks a quiet 25 acre strip of private unspoiled beach along the Red Sea and offers everything from superior snorkeling right offshore and private diving excursions to spa, fine dining and plenty of poolside luxury lounging. Dusk at Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh KKB The Red Sea is home to around 20 percent of the world's endemic fish species and more than 400 species of coral, making it a truly worthy body of water to explore. The resort offers guests their pick of water sports including several PADI certified dives suitable for beginners as well as advanced divers. They also offer certified PADI courses, including the open water diver course, adventure diver, rescue diver and dive master. Personal attention and privacy are what differentiate Oberoi, as the property boasts their own private boat for excursions. Those who are chasing whale sharks will have the best opportunity to do so with a private guided excursion. If you prefer a quieter sunset cruise, that can be arranged as well—or just book a fabulous snorkel trip to see the brilliant colored corals that define the Red Sea ecosystem. Unwind from a full day of water sports in one of the resort's oversized suites—all accommodations at Sahl Hasheesh feature handcrafted Egyptian design accents, sunken tubs and beautiful outdoor showers as well as courtyard and ocean views and easy access to the beach. Lounging is an art form here—the infinity pool offers all-day dining and plenty of spaces to relax or opt for a lounge chair along the ample beachfront. Regardless of where you end up there is always a brigade of smiling staff on hand to make sure every need is met. The Restaurant Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh Dining is the other main activity here with plentiful options that range from international offerings to exquisite Indian cuisine. At Zaafran, Executive Chef Pappu Singh serves beautiful authentic Indian cuisine reflected in dishes such as the Malabar fish curry prepared in curry leaves and topped with a delicate tomato and coconut gravy. The Restaurant, which includes an open-air courtyard for starlit dining, is the property's main dining room. Here, you'll find an international menu of offerings from tabbouleh and Fattoush to Australian lamb and potato or a penne pasta laced with almond pesto. Poolside, The Pergola offers a mix of Mediterranean or Far Eastern dishes for lunch. Quiet, serene and private, the Oberoi is a five star enclave in Hurghada that offers impeccable service, culinary depth, ample space to lounge, swim, and stargaze along with well-appointed suites to retire to at the end of each day. Your only job is to enjoy the view—and hopefully it will include the whale sharks. Grand Suite with private pool Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh

Lebanon's Fattoush Ranked One of the Best Salads in the World (Again!)
It's official – Lebanon's beloved Fattoush just ranked among the Top 5 Best Salads in the World on TasteAtlas! This isn't a first either. Fattoush has been holding down the #5 spot since 2022, and it's no surprise why. A staple on Lebanese tables, Fattoush is a fresh mix of crisp veggies like cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, and leafy greens, all tossed with toasted Lebanese bread. But what really sets it apart? That tangy kick of sumac – a lemony spice that makes this dish pop. Some families even add pomegranate seeds for a burst of sweetness, sticking to the old-school, traditional twist. According to TasteAtlas – a global food guide that ranks the world's best traditional dishes – Fattoush continues to earn global recognition alongside other iconic salads like: 🥇 Dakos (Greece) 🥈 Greek Salad (Greece) 🥉 Houria (Tunisia) 4️⃣ Caprese Salad (Italy) 5️⃣ Fattoush (Lebanon) As for our other national favorite, Tabbouleh came in at #36 this year – which is kind of blasphemous if you ask me.
