Diving in the Red Sea
... I finally got the confidence among a whole bunch of girls already doing the same thing.
I went out for dinner with a guy who couldn't believe the way that guys stopped whatever they were doing just to stare at me. He absolutely lost it laughing at one guy who was half way through lifting a cup of tea to his mouth and just completely paused to stare. Now all I have to look forward to is that horrible bus journey back to Cairo!

A thousand (seemed like) tires sunken and used as homes ...
Diving in the Red Sea...
... work!
I decided to do my first scuba diving, and did the open water diving course. It took finally three days, and was a beautiful experience, definitely worth the money! The coral reefs and the fishes in the red sea are unique and can definitely be recommended!

I expected Dahab to be much calmer, as it is supposed to be ...
