Today we left Dakhala and kept heading South through the Western desert. It was a pretty leisurely day, we had lots of little stops throughout. For some reason we also managed to pick up a police escort and an in car guard today. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with what's going on in Cairo, but it didn't really make us feel all that comfortable either way.
This morning we explored around the ruins of an old Coptic village. Quite pretty and you could still see all of the old paintings on the walls. Our Bedouin guides are an absolute crack up. They found us girls reading copies of "Cleo" today. They had a look through and couldn't believe what they were seeing with some of the photos... Every photo of a lady modeling swimwear or lingerie you would just hear this loud "oopa" from all of them. I don't think we are getting the magazines back. We did learn though that kim kardashian would be worth at least 100 camels, while Mariah Carey... Only about 50. Sorry Mariah.
This evening we are camping under the stars in the desert again. So beautiful. Camp fire and Bedouin food again. Lots of laughs and jokes with our guides. They are honestly the sweetest and happiest people.
