Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from Wishwashi Camp Resort in Nuweiba, Egypt, and I’m still trying to process the whole shebang. The glossy brochure promised “Your Dream Vacation Awaits!”… and well, it did… just not always in the way I expected. This isn't your typical polished travel blog review. This is going to be messy, honest, and hopefully helpful to anyone considering a trip. I’m talking real-talk, people.
Arrival & First Impressions: A Mixed Bag (To Put It Mildly)
First off, accessibility. Now, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I do appreciate a well-thought-out accessible environment. Wishwashi tries. They have elevators, and they are clearly trying to accommodate people with limited mobility. However, some of the ramps were a little steep, and the paths weren't always smooth. It felt like they were trying, but it's not perfectly integrated. I give them a B for effort. The whole place is built on sand…literally. So, navigating is a decent workout to begin with!
They had a car park (free!), which was a godsend because the drive there (airport transfer available BTW) was… picturesque, let’s say. The doorman was super friendly and I felt, genuinely, a warm welcome. They had staff that seemed like they genuinely wanted to help. But they were a bit chaotic, like a well-meaning puppy. They were lovely, but sometimes it felt like no one knew what was going on.
The Room: My Humble Abode (With a View!)
The rooms themselves? They were definitely “rustic charm.” I’m not going to lie: There was a weird squeak in the floorboards and I couldn't tell if it was a mouse or the sea breezes, so I opted for earplugs for the first few nights. (Non-smoking rooms are available thankfully). But, the view! Oh, the view. Waking up to that Red Sea sunrise obliterated any grumbles. The balcony was divine, and the blackout curtains were crucial for getting a decent kip after a day of sun. Now, the internet (Internet access – wireless, and also LAN), it was a bit… sporadic. It worked in the room! Kind of. Let’s just say, downloading a movie to watch in room wasn't happening. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! was more like “Free Wi-Fi…when it feels like it.” The room had the usual (Mini bar, bathrobes, slippers, tea)… although I did not use the bathtub. There's a separate shower/bathtub but the tub looked a little… well used. I stuck with the shower, which was fine. Extra long bed, which was nice. I even had a window that opens!
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Fueling the Adventure
Okay, the food. This is where things get interesting. The main restaurant (Restaurants) offered a buffet, which I usually avoid, but here…it kind of worked? Breakfast (Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast) was pretty solid. They had everything from pastries to ful medames (a local bean dish that's ridiculously addictive!). I felt pretty safe, they had a breakfast takeaway service but I didn't use it. The coffee shop was great, the poolside bar…well, let's say I spent a lot of time there during happy hour (Happy hour). They had a decent selection of drinks, but the cocktails were… strong. Very strong. Like, "I-forgot-how-to-speak-English" strong. The a la carte restaurant offered international cuisine (International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant), but I stuck to the local stuff. It's cheaper and way more delicious. They also had a snack bar and room service [24-hour], which was handy after a long day of… well, existing. A bottle of water was a godsend. They take hygiene seriously, they had Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Safe dining setup, and the waitstaff were trained in safety protocols. They tried to keep it safe, with Individually-wrapped food options. I was really impressed!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Days, Fitness & Chill
Now, this is where Wishwashi shines. The spa! I went full-on tourist and got a body scrub (Body scrub) and a massage (Massage)! And it was actually…heavenly. The pool with view (Pool with view) was beautiful, and the swimming pool [outdoor] was HUGE. I spend hours here, floating and staring up at the endless blue, trying to figure out how I was going to survive on dry land again. There was a sauna (Sauna) and a steamroom (Steamroom) and, I wish I had the time to use them. They have a fitness center (Fitness center) but to be honest, I was getting enough exercise just getting to my room! They also had a foot bath (Foot bath), which was a nice touch.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Elephant in the Room (Thankfully, Not Literally)
Given the current climate, I was super concerned about cleanliness and safety (Cleanliness and safety). Wishwashi takes it seriously. They had:
- Anti-viral cleaning products
- Daily disinfection in common areas
- Hand sanitizer everywhere
- Staff trained in safety protocol
- Rooms sanitized between stays
- Sterilizing equipment
- And even… a doctor/nurse on call.
They even had contactless check-in/out, which was a nice touch. I'm happy to say, I felt safe.
For the Kids & Beyond: A Family Affair (Sort Of)
They had kids facilities (Kids facilities, babysitting services) and seem pretty family-friendly. The lack of pets allowed (Pets allowed unavailable) was probably a good thing, given the amount of sand. They also have facilities for disabled guests (Facilities for disabled guests). There's an indoor venue for special events (Indoor venue for special events) and an outdoor venue for special events (Outdoor venue for special events), perfect for a special event! They even provide invoicing (invoice provided), which shows they're keen to do things the right way.
The Quirks, The Chaos & the Pure, Unadulterated Me:
Okay, here’s the real, unfiltered truth: Wishwashi is not a perfectly polished resort. It’s got its quirks. The staff are lovely but can be a little…discombobulated. The Wi-Fi is temperamental. And sometimes, you just have to roll with the chaos. Like the one time electricity went out during dinner (they have a backup generator, thankfully). Or the time I accidentally locked myself out on the balcony. But honestly? That’s part of the charm. Because amidst the quirks, there's genuine warmth, breathtaking beauty, and a chance to truly disconnect.
I absolutely loved the experience. It's the type of a place where you start your day thinking you'll be pampered and end it covered in sand, eating the best falafel you've ever tasted, and chatting with someone who had a very strong cocktail. The whole experience was just a good time.
Would I recommend it?
Yes. But with a few caveats:
- If you're looking for absolute luxury, this ain't it.
- If you want perfect internet, bring a hotspot.
- If you're easily ruffled, maybe look elsewhere.
But… if you’re up for an adventure, a bit of chaos, and a truly unforgettable escape to a stunning location, then absolutely go to Wishwashi Camp Resort. Just pack your sense of humor, a healthy dose of flexibility, and maybe a few extra chargers for your phone. You won't regret it. And tell them Sarah sent you, maybe they'll give you an extra cocktail at happy hour. 😉

Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're finally going to Wishwashi Camp Resort in Nuweiba, Egypt. This isn't your polished travel brochure, this is the raw, unfiltered truth. Prepare for sandy underwear, questionable food choices, and a whole lotta me.
The Plan (or, What I Thought the Plan Was):
Day 1: Arrival & Tent Trauma
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh flight. Okay, easy peasy, right? WRONG. Turns out, "budget airline" translates to "freezing cold cabin and a screaming baby for five straight hours." My soul is permanently scarred. Then the transfer from Sharm to Nuweiba. The guy who picked us up was like, really into blasting Arabic pop songs. I'm talking windows-down, head-bobbing, air-guitar-playing into the desert. I kind of loved it.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Arrival at Wishwashi. The brochures promised "rustic charm." I'd describe it as "charmingly dilapidated, with a side of potential tetanus." The tents? Cute, in a "could-easily-blow-away-in-a-sandstorm" kind of way. Setting up was a comedy of errors. There was me, sweating like a pig, trying to wrestle a tent pole into place, while my partner (bless his heart) was just staring blankly at me, looking utterly defeated. The wind was picking up, and I swore my tent was going to become a kite.
- Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Sunset on the beach! Supposedly romantic. The sunset was gorgeous. The incessant buzzing of mosquitos? Less so. Dinner at the camp restaurant. I think I ordered a fish dish. I'm 90% sure it was the same fish that had been swimming in the Red Sea since the Pharaohs. But hey, it filled my belly. Wandering around camp, got lost almost immediately, and then tripped over a stray rope. My ego is now bruised, matching my knee. Ended up sitting on the beach watching the stars. They were incredible. Absolutely breathtaking.
Day 2: The Wishwashi Canyon Adventure…and the Quest for Toilet Paper
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Wishwashi Canyon hike! Finally! This was the one thing I'd been genuinely excited about. The pictures are stunning. I'd been scrolling through Instagram, planning my best photos. The reality? Wow, a lot of sand. And rocks. And more sand. The "hike" was more of a scramble. I'm not sure I was looking for much adventure, but a little less of sand would have good. But, the canyon itself IS stunning. The water is clear, the air feels clean. And the views? Magnificent. The only thing that almost ruined it? Realizing I needed a bathroom while we were in the middle of the canyon!
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Lunch & Rest. After the hike? Starving. The camp prepared a basic lunch. Something…edible. I ate it while watching the dust swirl in the desert. Pure Zen. Then, a nap. Blessedly, I needed it.
- Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Back to the beach and finally a swim. The Red Sea is unbelievably clear. The water is the perfect temperature. I actually saw a fish! It was beautiful. Then, the realization that toilet paper was a disappearing commodity at the camp. I scoured the grounds, with a growing sense of panic. My partner finally produced a roll from the depths of his backpack. Hero level achieved. Dinner was alright. Tried to order "the local specialty." Realized I'd eaten a lot of a meat dish, whose source I'm uncertain of. Went to bed early, praying for my stomach and for the imminent sandstorm.
Day 3: Snorkelling and Stargazing (Because I'm a Cliché)
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Snorkelling! Oh, the promise of coral reefs and colorful fish! My expectations were high. (Perhaps too high). The gear itself looked ancient. The snorkels were well used. I choked on salty water, bumped into some rocks, and saw maybe two fish. Still, managed to get my head underwater. And, in the distance, I saw a shark! (Or a particularly judgmental barracuda).
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Chill time. More naps. Sunbathing. I reapplied sunscreen… eventually.
- Evening (4:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Stargazing. The sky here is incredible. Absolutely pitch-black, and the stars are like diamonds. We lay on the beach, and just stared. Truly magical. Ate the rest of the questionable fish dish. Thankfully I live to tell the tale. Sat around the campfire with the other resort guests. Realized I was the only one who hated the music. But, it was not a deal breaker. Bed.
Day 4: Departure & Existential Dread
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Packing. Tent takedown. More sweating. Saying goodbye to the adorable, scruffy camp dogs.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): The trip back to Sharm. The long flight back to Cairo. The inevitable post-holiday blues. Reflecting on all the things that went wrong, and all the things that were glorious.
Final Thoughts (the Messy Wrap-Up):
Wishwashi Camp Resort? It's a mixed bag. It's not luxurious. It's not perfect. But it's real. It's raw. It's slightly chaotic. And despite the bugs, the questionable food, and the near-constant threat of being engulfed by sand, it's somehow… beautiful. Would I go back? Probably. Would I pack more toilet paper? Absolutely. And would I recommend it? If you're looking for polished perfection, then no. But if you're looking for an adventure, a chance to disconnect, and a healthy dose of the unexpected, then YES. Just bring bug spray, and maybe a hazmat suit. You'll be fine.

So, What *Exactly* is This Thing You’re Talking About? (And Why Should I Care?)
Alright, alright, settle down. Technically, this "
But *why*? Well, in a nutshell, people are lazy (myself included!). If you structure your content properly, Google might highlight your answers directly in its search results, like little knowledge nuggets. Instant credibility! Plus, it can boost your search rankings. Think of it as digital marketing gold.
My own experience? Oh, jeez. I remember when I *first* tried to do this. Absolute disaster. I mean, I *thought* I knew what I was doing. I copy-pasted a bunch of code, crossed my fingers, and hit "publish." Zilch. Nada. Crickets. Turns out, I’d missed a semicolon. A *semicolon*! I spent three hours staring at code, ready to throw my laptop out the window. It’s humbling. And hilarious now, of course.
Okay, I Kinda Get It. But Is This Complicated? Because, Seriously, I'm Not a Tech Wizard.
Complicated? Depends. Like, if you're fluent in HTML and code just *flows* from your fingertips, then probably not. For the rest of us mere mortals? It can be a bit… tedious. Don’t get me wrong, you don’t need a PhD in computer science. But you *do* need some basic knowledge. Think of it as learning to ride a bike. Awkward at first, a few scrapes and bruises, but eventually, you're (hopefully) cruising along.
The biggest hurdle for me? Honestly, the sheer *amount* of information out there. You've got Schema.org, Google's guidelines, various plugins... it's an information overload! It's like trying to drink from a firehose. I'd recommend starting with a straightforward approach – stick to the basics, make sure everything is properly nested, and test, test, test! I wasted a solid week once trying to figure out why my FAQ wasn’t showing up. Turns out, I’d forgotten to close a tiny, little
So, What are These Mysterious "Schema" Things You Keep Mentioning?
Ah, the magic word: Schema! Schema.org is basically a vocabulary for the internet. Think of it as a standardized way to describe things: events, people, products, reviews, and, you guessed it, FAQs. It gives structure to your content, helping search engines understand the *meaning* behind it, not just the words.
Imagine you're talking about a recipe. Instead of just saying "This recipe makes a cake," you use schema to specify the recipe's name, ingredients, cooking time, and calories. It's like giving Google a secret decoder ring. It's how you get those super-fancy, visually appealing search results – the ones with images, star ratings, and all the bells and whistles.
Honestly, when I first heard the word "schema," I pictured some kind of elaborate, ancient Greek conspiracy. Turns out, it’s just a bunch of code. Still, it's powerful stuff. And it's the key to unlocking all that SEO *glory*!
Alright, Alright, Fine. But Where Do I Actually *Put* This Code?
This is where things get a little… hands-on. The exact location really depends on your website. Most commonly, you'll embed the code directly into the HTML of the page where you want your FAQ to appear. You can do this manually, which is a bit more fiddly, or use a plugin (more on that later).
Now comes the fun part which is often the most frustrating part: finding your content management system (CMS). Depending on your CMS, you might need to access the "code editor" for a specific page. I use Wordpress, and that meant I spent about an hour once tracking down where to put the code for a particular theme – the number of "pages" and "posts" felt endless. It’s a constant learning curve.
My honest advice? If you can't find some place to put the code, ask for professional help. The biggest mistake you can make is just giving up because it looks hard. And seriously, do some testing. Verify that the code is valid using Google's Rich Results Test. This is where you'll find all kinds of horrors – missing tags, incorrect nesting. It's like a digital autopsy, revealing all your coding sins!
Plugins? Should I use Plugins? I Hate Plugins!
Okay, okay, I get it. Plugins can be a pain. Too many slow down your site, create conflicts, and generally make your life miserable. However, if you're new to this whole schema thing, or just don’t fancy wrestling with code, a plugin might be your best friend.
Wordpress, for example, has tons of FAQ plugins. Some create the code for you. You just enter your questions and answers, and the plugin does all the heavy lifting. A few options I've used that felt reasonably user-friendly are Rank Math, Yoast SEO, and Schema Plugin. Although be prepared, these plugins require some trial-and-error to begin with.
The downside? Plugins can sometimes add a bit of extra bloat to your code. It’s a trade-off: ease of use versus potential site performance. The struggle is *real*. Me personally? I’ve been burned by plugins before. They seemed to be working one day, and the next, *poof*… gone, leaving a trail of broken code and a massive headache. Choose wisely, my friend, choose wisely.
So, What About Testing? How Do I Know if I'm Doing This Right?
Testing is ESSENTIAL. Seriously. Without it, you're just throwing code into the abyss and hoping for the best. (Which, let’s be honest, is how I've approached many projects in my life!). Google provides a handy tool called the Rich Results Test. That's your new best friend.
Just paste your page URL into the test, and it will analyze your code and tell you if it's valid. It'll highlight any errors, warnings, or missing information. Think of it as a little digital doctor giving your page a checkup. Expect to be humbled. Expect to see errors you never imagined possible. I've had tests fail because of a missing comma. A *comma*! It nearly drove me insane.
But hey, failing and fixing is how you learn. Plus, if the Rich Results Test says everything's good, you know your effort is paying off, and you’re one step closer to those sweet, sweet featured snippetsTop Hotel Search
