The Red Sea rocks!
I’ve been here in Dahab, Egypt for about a week now – leaving tomorrow for Cairo and then to Greece the next day. I have to say the best thing I’ve seen here has been the Red Sea, and especially the town of Dahab. This place is the perfect antidote for the rest of Egypt; very laid back and relaxing. I went kitesurfing all day today, watching camels walk along the beach while gliding over crystal clear waters. The diving/snorkelling is really spectacular – the reef is about 100 ft offshore -you can sit in a bedouin style restaurant and look over the wall at the reef. I also hiked up Mt. Sinai, the putative site where Moses received the 10 commandments and saw the sunrise -beautiful. Also St Katherine’s Monastery, where there are parts built by Christians, Muslims, and Jews – quite an accomplishment! The gorilla and chimp pix are from a couple of treks I went on in Uganda – they were very expensive, but well worth it in my opinion. Next post will be from Greece!
