... take an hourly bus to Suez, and then from there take a taxi or bus to Dahab. So that is what we did with a chinese couple. The woman and I had to pee real bad before leaving on what we thought was going to be a 4 hour ride, good thing we peed. But Oh my, what a washroom. Urine and feces everywhere, swarming with flies, and that wasn't even the washroom, it was the room before the washroom, but we had to do what we had to do! So we shut the door with some plastic chairs, and ...
Hurghada, Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt giselleandcodyWe had intended just getting off the boat and going to some vendors which we thought might be on the wharf but there weren't any so we stayed on the ship.
When we arrived a ship in front of us has just unloaded a crowd of Egyptians and they had trolleys full of what looked like their worldy possessions. There were hundreds of them and they were all taking their loads of goods into a big warehouse which was the customs area. We don ...
... us in comfort and safety to our hotel for a fraction of the local taxi cost. We used him as our driver for the whole of our stay and even arranged trips to Cairo and Luxor through him again with courteous safe drivers and at a fraction of local/hotel costs.
This service made all the difference to our holiday and I would thoroughly recommend it to all visitors to Egypt. The website is: www.goldencar-eg.org
... Egyptian tourist memorabilia you could wish to take home – spices, Egyptian clothes and figurines with oversized penises. We browsed and bought, before being taken to look at the papyrus gallery next door, where hundreds of different sized papyrus canvases bore oil paintings depicting Egypt’s history and culture.
We stopped for freshly squeezed fruit juice in a local caf ...
... then a trip around the reptile house, which appeared to have been provided by the organisation running our excursion as a part of the tourist experience (as I mentioned, Egyptian authenticity seems sadly lacking in and around Hurghada). We took turns getting close to the snakes, chameleons and tortoises and passing around those animals deemed safe enough to be held and plonked on our shoulders, as cameras snapped and flashes momentarily blinded us and them.

... is a miraculous world of silence, where organisms of breath-taking colour and novelty swim wordlessly in front of your nose, oblivious and uncaring to your presence, stunning me into a silence I could only maintain by force – a large respirator blocking my usual yapping. I think it is this silence that makes diving so special – not only are we on the surface usually so ignorant or forgetful of the teeming beauty under the waves, but would ruin it by being ...
Hurghada, Red Sea and Sinai, Egypt adhigam... site, we decided to not continue up the ladder but to return down the valley to the sites of two tombs that had been recommended by our bus guide, who was also an Egyptologist. So we went down the valley toward the entrance of the first tomb. It is a special feeling walking down into the tomb thru a square man-made tunnel in the side of the valley that was dug thousands of years before to house the earthly remains and prized procession of an Egyptian pharaoh. The walls were ...
Safaga, Egypt danharriet... are sure there must be a towel folding school somewhere. I relaxed on the beach, read, and snoozed. The cubicle in front of me had two loungers with towels on them. Along comes a man, wife and son. He picks up the towels and puts them on another lounger. An older woman comes over and says to the man, this is my sister's spot, the man says no one is here, she says they have just gone to their room for a moment and will be back shortly. They continue talking and the woman is ...
