Today I opted to go to the coloured Canyon near Nuwieba. I booked the tour the day before, but little did I know it was going to be let by Bedouins. We drove out of Dahab for about an hour and then all of a sudden went off the road into the desert. We were in the back of a Toyota Land Cruiser and this was a real desert safari. We drove off road through the desert for about an hour. It was very bumpy and the Arab driving it drove like a maniac. He was not the onl...

Today, I decided to go snorkeling at the Blue Hole. The Blue Hole is about 10 minutes up the road from Dahab and it is an 80m deep abyss in the middle of a reef. I was loaded onto the back of a Ute, well I chose to sit in the back, and Mostafa (my guide) sat in the front. It was a bumpy ride and if I had know it was going to be a little off road, I may have chosen the front, who am I kidding no I wouldn't have. We drove along the beach and around corners of cliff...

I'd only been in Dahab for a few hours, after a surprisingly good ride through the Sinai mountains in a crazy Egyptian taxi, who overcharged me by the way, won't use him on the way back, when at 1am, yet again an hour too early, I was whisked away. I was given the white knuckle ride of my life through the Sinai mountains in the middle of the night. Bear in mind, this really is the wild. There are no street lights, no phone reception and just flat out no one aroun...

Sharm el Sheikh - Wrap Up AGGGHHHHH!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE, THIS IS PARADISE!!!! No seriously, eight wonderful days in this place is not enough, maybe I've gone slightly insane with the contrast between here and Cairo, but this place is relaxed up to s***! I've been quite happy spending whole days just lounging by the pool in my awesome hotel, the Amar Sina…..(which I would recommend to anyone by the way), watching the spunky pool guy, Abdul. Ahem!(See p...

Today I just hung out with my new friends Tommy and Dave. We decided to go down to Ra Um Said beach for the day and Nicloa and Kof decided to join us. I had been there about 5 minutes when I spontaniously decided I wanted a Rasta hair do. Tommy came up to see how I was going and they even put one in his hair which was really funny, he also clipped all the extra wool onto the back of his hair like a pony tail, the beach was in stitches! I sat in this chair for 4...
