I have written two reviews about our boat trips but at least some basic information should be included here. A couple of tour agents had their “office” (…which consisted of a single desk) in the courtyard of the hotel. The agents would wander around the hotel facility and try to sell their tours. Most of them were very friendly and not too insistent. Two of them always took some time to play with our daughters. Of course it was part of their sales strategy but they did it well...

Heading for Egypt again. Diving with 7 other dive buddies south of Hurghada in the Red Sea. Will post a review of the resort later on ...

Day 15. (November 20th):   Woke up 8:30, ate breakfast and went to the pool. It was a bit cold that day – not cold, but colder than the other days. I relaxed in the pool and on the sun-chair.   I met a guy from Denmark. He was very sweet. We talked a lot. After some hours I had to eat.   After lunch we went Belly Dancing. We had so much fun – like the other day. This days’ activity was Limbo. My mother was between the best once, so she had to go to the Olympic Game...

It was November 2001, just two months after the 9/11 WTC drama. The western world was in shock, the people afraid. At the time, stock went down, Arab-phobia became a word and nobody dared to fly. It was also the best time to travel. Moreover, it was the time of year we went to Egypt. We flew in November 6 and went back on the 13th . How lucky can you be? I will tell you. Fortunately, it was a Tuesday.  In the past, there had been attacks by terrorists on tourists. Therefore...

I traveld for 4 days to Hurghada. It was a great time. and i meet one Travbuddy friend, and we go to one beautiful restaurant.

I had to get up early that morning to get the airport by train. As I live in a small village it takes time... The train was so crowded, could not stand this every day.When I arrived at the hotel, went to the hotel has a small nap then went for an apero at the Peanuts bar nothing really special I dran my first Egyptian beer Sakara.

As said we had a beach bongalow...well it was just the front row a few meters away from the beach!Around the hotel it had a lovely garden with wonderful exotic flowers! the beach was privat and they were always helping you finding a free sunchair;) The animation team was more annoying but we just didnt look at them!In the lobby there was a bar where they usualy had live music in the evening! Bisides the fact that they were all called M...

This was my first trip on other continent where i was confronted with arabic/african way of life and stepped on the path of ancient civilisation...fantastic experience!:)

Why Egypt? The most important thing why I went to Egypt where the ancient beauties of Egypt. I always wanted to see the Sphinx, the pyramides and just experience the life of an Egyptian. So I booked a holiday for 2 weeks in Hurghada, the famous beach place of Egypt. From there you can visit the most memorable places of Egypt and when you want to do nothing, just relax on the beach! The holiday We stayed in a 4 stars hotel in Hurghada, Regina Style. The first thing you notice is the hot wea...

It's official...I'm in a paradise-like place (minus the Egyptians that hastle us non-stop). The Red Sea is gorgeous.  We took a convoy this morning for a four hour drive to Hurghada which, is perched on the red sea.  We passed through some pretty amazing desert mountains until we came upon the sea which is a beautiful shade of blue.  There are some really nice resorts here and lots of Germans (lots of topless sunbathers too....mostly German).  It seems a lot more well off...

I'm going back in time with this blog.. it's a while ago that i (we) went to Egypt but it is still hanging on somewhere in my brain, so i try to tell you about my travel there... On 19-08-2004 i went by plane to Hurghada in Egypt, travelling by car would extend my holliday with 100 days? so the plane was a better plan ;p When the plane touched down on the ground of Egypt i felt a bit strange.. What could i expect here? Would it be like Turkey? When i was there i had a great holida...

On the way out to today’s dive sites, there was help building the excitement on the boat by the sighting of a pod of dolphins, which we spotted and a whale shark, which others on the boat glimpsed; we were too busy sunning ourselves on deck and weren’t able to get to the side of the boat in time to spy it.  The first dive today was on a sight know as “Sabrina”.  It was a drift dive, of sorts.  We were to jump overboard as a group and then following our guide and partial...

I was in Egypt in february this year. It was my first real touch with this amazing country. Im back now from my second trip and still full of lot of wonderful feelings and experiencies...I ll be back soon...

Three days after getting my advanced brevet I decided to go to Egypt. Diving in the Netherlands is fun but after september a little cold and dark. So we took the plane and after a 4 hours flight we arrived in Hurghada. We booked a diving packet for 5 days with a belgium company.  My first dive in subtropical water was amazing. I thought I saw nearly everything that exists. Big turtles, parrotfish, big murenes and much more. From that moment I was addicted to travel to blue waters...... ...

One week slid into the next.  Halloween we were in port, so after carving a squash with the guests, we headed out for a night on the town.  Another port night, a dozen of us decided to have a toga night at our hangout, the British Bulldog (that was quite a night!).  On my days in port, when I had some time to myself, sometimes I'd learn some windsurfing (the windsurf instructor at the hotel and I got to be friends, so he gave me a couple free lessons), or hang out with the crew...
