Mike had to do some swift talking as he had a local ticket 1LE not a tourist ticket, but eventually the police guy let us in. Huge covered temple out in the middle of the desert. Some pottery bits and pieces here as well as a sarcophagus. Then we drove to the hot springs. I had to change in the car (such a fun experience) and went ...

Last trip in Egypt -Dessert + Oasis

A travel blog entry by wyalvin

This is our final trip in Egypt… we travelled to the Oasis in the dessert and spent a night camping under the open sky. It took us 4 hours drive from Cairo "City Stars" to the dessert started at 7:30am, on our way there, there was nothing besides sand and a couple of small mountains along the 2 sides of the road. We arrived at some sort of a village where I think the villagers are basically earning their livings from tourists. At the village we took all our belongings and separate the ...
