My final day of diving probably for quite some time, so I'm gonna do a famous one.  Maggie, her instructor (whose name I forget.  Dereck?) and my dive buddy Sayeed head up further north of Dahab on the Sinai coast to one of the more famous names on the international diving map.  The …

With the blue hole, of course! Wonderful coral reefs, just a few metres from the coast... 30 m depth. Milions species of fishes, underwater flowers and plants, and me, in the Red Sea, with mask, tube and flippers. Also driving trought the desert to oasis, where a little Beduin boy pl…

Dahab has somehow managed to escape mass tourism until now hence it is a fairly small place without the big hotels you will find elsewhere in Egypt.   I get ready for one of the main things I have been looking forward to do in Egypt - dive the Red Sea. I have heard many good stories…

Woke up around 11AM for the buffet breakfast. Showered, put on my bathing suit and walked with Ann over to the main building where meals were served. We walked over the smooth stone, up the incline on a winding path to the dining area. We had the choice of eating outside in the shade with a panoram…

Middle East-The land of neverending conflict, struggle and dispute.Three weeks of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon,Jordan and Sinai, Egypt. This is where epic cities of antiquity rub shoulders and architectural aspiration.Prior to that pre-backpacking to Toscana Italia, summer 2009 will long be remembered. Predominantly an Islamic region,it is one of the most misunderstood region and religion in the world.

Day 3 in Dahab yet again off to a relaxed and lazy start got our drink, rented the snorkel gear (still cant manage to walk about in these flipper things) thought about renting a quad bike for the day but thee sales man put us off. Had our sandwich in the oddly located German bakery and went for…

Me levanté entre risas cuando vi que la huella de lagarto tatuado el día anterior en la pierna se había extendido por toda la sábana. Incontables restos del reptil se quedaron marcados mientras dormía. Afortunadamente el dibujo seguía intacto ya que lo que quedó pringado en la ropa de cama f…

Egypt is a treasury of ancient "relicts".The 2 weeks I spent here with my friend Pavel were full of several things: unforgottable experiences, "hassle" by the merchandisers, beautifull sceneries, heat, sun and dust, nice and even annoying people. What it wasn't? Definitely not boring.

A round trip through Egypt. History combined with the present. Starting out trip in Cairo, the pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Djoser pyramid. By train to Luxor to view all its historical beauty. And the last week relaxing and scuba diving in Dahab!!

But first, ebfore we reach the sea we have...the bus ride of eternity.  From Luxor to Dahab is supposed to be aroudn 16 hours or so.  We took 19 hours to get here.  So many security checkpoints and general stops for no reason.  The trip was very sureal.  At one point in tim…

this was the best place i could be. heaven on earth for short. dahab always comes to amaze you. the town is very versatile with a base for scuba divin, mountain climbin, ATV,wind surfin and what more partying. its got a very lively scene and most of the inhabitants are young and some not so young b…

After landing in the resort town of Dahab, we wandered about town doing our best to deal with the hundreds of people asking us to eat at their restaurant. There are about 100 or so along the coast, and they have to compete with one another for business.  We did find a place to grab drinks late…

I have been drawn to this place over and over again for some 10 years now.
