Sand-Bottles
Skilled craftsman cleverly create the design by only using basic tools which are mainly: a small spoon, a thin elongated metal rod and a miniature funnel; again the use of glue is minor, being restricted only to sealing the top. Prices usually start from 10 L.E. per bottle and increase as the size and design of the bottles increase. There are a variety of differently shaped and sized bottles to chose from and you can purchase them nearly anywhere in Sharm; the Old Market, Naama, Il Mercato or even at most hotels. But sand bottles are very fragile and could easily break, so be carefully while packing them up.
Well, why not let that be your souvenir, as I’m sure it would look great on the mantelpiece.
