How do you know you have been in Egypt too long?
First off, they ask if my BF is "from Cairo", as in born-in-Cairo. I suppose that's because he looks a bit like an Arab and he’s tan and tall and wears designer American brands (like Columbia and REI). Sometimes they just speak to him in Arabic – I imagine they are saying “Hey, you, tall Egyptian, how much for the Gringo girl?” Okay, maybe not.

Climbing My Sinai in the middle of the night.
We all walked in a row in the pitch black

It's definitely a feasible option for them as a way of life, unlike it is for us. Then again, I begrudgingly listened to my ...
Scared of Sharks
... was just a ten minute walk from the hotel across the main Rameses road and down a few dusty alleyways. I purchased a ticket the day before for I left for 90LE, though on reflection I do not think that this was that necessary and the bus left half empty enabling me to lounge over two chairs for the ten hour journey. Ten hours sounds like a long time and in practise a lot of this is constant stoppages for military checkpoints and the like but the bus was ...
