    Description

    I am an English lady who lives in sharm el Sheikh Egypt. Though work in uk.
    I live in a villa with a private pool on the edge of the desert. The view from my garden is beautiful. Mountains on one side and the sea on the other side There are buses that go all over Sharm for just a few pence, though we are a bit remote and it's about 15 min walk to the bus stop.
    I have 3 dogs.
    I own a riding stables there, not far from the villa. We take the tourists out on rides to the sea or desert. So a horse lover would love it.
    Life is very peaceful and stress free here in sharm. The ex pats seem to group together and evenings out at the local bar/restaurant is a nice night out.
    It gets very hot during June July Aug so a heat lover is essential.
    I am looking for someone to live in my villa longterm and look after the villa and my dogs.
    When I am home you'd be free to travel.
    I usually work about 6 weeks in uk go home to Sharm for a couple weeks or so.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    During time off there is lots to do.
    Naama Bay is a bus ride away as are lots of beaches.
    There are quad bikes, boat trips and of course horse riding.
    We tend to live a quiet peaceful life. Life in Sharm is very calm.
    A typical day is get up at 8/9 am.
    Take dogs for walk and clean there part of garden.
    Spend a few hours cleaning or gardening and then relax.
    Dogs need to go out again in afternoon. They get walked into the desert.
    Evenings are either spent at home or visiting friends or at the local bar.
    Everyone knows everyone.
    I spend lot of time at the stables and often eat there. They order in local food and its a nice evening.
