Camel Ride and Diving | 16.6 miles
With camels from Dahab to Ras Abu Galum for some nice dives, sleeping under the stars 10m from the red sea in a Bedoin village. And a car/camel trip through canyons of the Sinai mountains to an old Bedoin village in an old oase..
We had to see the pyramids.
This was a week on the Tempest, part of the Tornado Fleet in the Red Sea. Due to bad weather, the trip was amended from the "normal" route, but we had almost no other boats at almost every dive site, including (unusually) the Thistlegorm. We only had 11 divers on the boat, plus two guides, and almost didn't make it to Abu Nuhas due to the high winds. Thanks...
The walking elite of this week were Dana, Patrick, Susan Hack, Elizabeth, and Nabil, all regulars, plus the New Yorker's writer Wendy, Lenhert & Landrock owner, Maggie, and the urban researcher Vittoria. After inspecting the new murals on Mohammad Mahmoud, we took the metro to Ataba, meandered east to Naguib al-Rihani street نجيب الريحانى, then turned into Clot Bey كلوت بيه in search of the alley of the cat or darb al...
Your first stop is a visit to the Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mykerinus. Then, you will see the Great Sphinx, the head of a pharaoh with a lion's body, which dates back to the time of Chephren. You will also tour the Valley Temple, which belongs to the Pyramid of Chephren. This temple served definitely two functions, namely for the preparative purification of the king's body before its burial as well...
Go back to the time of the Pharaohs and discover the enchanting pharaonic history the spectacular Sound and Light Show at Giza Pyramids of Cheops, Chefren and Mykerinus. The show starts with the story of the Sphinx who has been the vigilant guardian of the city of the dead for five thousand years.
A representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to visit El Ghoriya, a very famous district in Egypt located in El Gamalia area (the center of the Fatimid Cairo). It is bordered by El Gamalia Street, which embraces El Azhar mosque, which in turn separates El Ghoriya, the tomb of Al Hussein and Khan El Khalili. Then proceed to Cairo's famous gates (Bab). According to Maqrizi, there were eight...

Although it would take months to admire each and every relic, your expert guide will...

Another proof of my very deficient sense of direction. Last time in Dahab, about a month ago, Marjan and I accompanied our friend Emily on a climbing outing to Wadi Qnai El Rayan. This time round I wanted to run that beautiful wadi and find a nice circular route back to Dahab including the Wadi connection. I took a Wadi too early from the main road, first coming to an area with a...
Marjan & I walked from the Wadi Degla entrance to Wadi Hoff - the connection is a Wadi going straight South from the camping place about 3.5 k from the entrance. Then one emerges on a littered plane (all army rubbish, various bases visible) crosses a tar army road and soon after hits the side wadi of what eventually become Wadi Hoff. One has to climb the Eastern rim because the lower...

Febbraio 2012, si parte
; la strada asfaltata, buona salvo alcuni brevi tratti, arriva fino a
Bir Abu Minqar che si sta trasformando in un'oasi modernissima con
impianti di irrigazione di tipo industriale, aumentando sicuramente
la produzione agricola ma lasciando i livelli di occupazione come
sono ; ogni anno che passa nuove strade cambiano itinerari e modi di
viaggiare.
Quando comincia il
fuoristrada abbiamo qualche insabbiamento, dovuto al pieno carico,
bagagli personali piu' 12 giorni di viveri, acqua...
