We’ve just stepped in 2013 year and ready for a new adventure!
We are going to spend our vacation in Egypt this time! Let’s catch some Africa’s sun in January! Just landed, waiting for a travel operator екфтыаук bus, ohhhh that nice feeling to take our winter jackets off!
Why Egypt? Why Sharm El Sheikh? It’s great Read Sea resort town with good weather conditions even in January, very affordable prices, nice food and atmosphere! Here is our hotel – very cosy 🙂
– So, darling, what’s the plan???
The main plan is to explore the Red sea! Water temperature is so good for snorkeling and diving even in winter! However, not warn enough to dive without hydro-costume could be rented in hotel diving center.
Incredible clear water! Lovely stretch of golden sand! Some days we spent like this: hotel-beach-sea, repeat! Hotel-beach-sea, repeat! 🙂
When we filled ourselves with underwater emotions, we are ready to explore something outside of the hotel 🙂
Locals recommended to see old market, so we are heading to it! There are a lot of restaurants and shops, selling everything you could expect 🙂 plus there is very beautiful mosque! Visit old market in Sharm El Sheikh whatever you are looking for:) Prices here are moderate and be sure to bargain with them though! Noisy and fussy atmosphere, Arabic lamps, silver jewelry, sweets, souvenirs…
…pyramids of fragrant spices…Beautiful cultural feel! The one on the right on photo below states “It’s not a poo, it’s tea!” 😀
Today we are leaving the resorts behind and taking a full day excursion to explore…
Yeahh, today will be the desert adventure! Ready, Steady? Go! We are headings to the Sinai Mountains to discover the joys of the desert.
A-ha-ha, I have hundreds of photos with sand and blue sky now:) It’s our first desert, very strange but so wonderful feeling to be here.
Egyptian history and culture developed around life in desert and now we stop at a desert camp to have an immersion into the Bedouin life and culture! It’s a great opportunity to see and feel this life as it really is.
We enjoyed Arabian hospitality, fresh Arabic coffee, herbal tea with Bedouin bread and bought some souvenirs – local made jewelry 🙂
Time to conquer the sand dunes to look at spectacular canyons!
It was really nice jeep adventure through the crags and dunes into the heart of Sinai desert.
Egypt trip wouldn’t be complete without the extraordinary desert scenery! We are so happy about this desert experience!
Yahoooooo! We are in Dahab for two unforgettable experiences to do here. Look at the Dahab’s billboard and guess what we are here for? 🙂
First one is to take a ride on the “ships of desert” with the sea view 🙂
The second one is to see and snorkel in a famous Dahab Blue hole! Here is a lot of advanced free-divers, cause visibility is so perfect and it’s astonishing depths provide an opportunity to test their skills to the limit, but for us: warm and clear water, rich marine life, so, it’s a awesome place for snorkeling:)
Of cause our Egypt trip wouldn’t be complete without spending at least one day in the see on the yacht 🙂
Let’s catch the wind and explore Red Sea’s vibrant marine life!
Egypt has so astonishing underwater landscape, very good prices for scuba courses and a lot of perfect places for snorkelers and scuba divers, as well as huge opportunities for reef photo-hunting. It’s really mecca for scuba divers and snorkelers.
On our way to visit colorful coral gardens..
Remember, that you need at least 24 hours between finishing your last dive and flying!
So on our last day in Sharm El Sheikh we are just enjoying local food, cocktails, mint tea and…
… catching the last sun overlooking the tranquil Red Sea 🙂 It’s time to go home 🙂
Tomorrow will be new day and new emotions:)
See you tomorrow 🙂
Don’t sit at home. Travel! Travel with me! 🙂 Meaww!
