HURGHADA, SHARM EL SHEIK, DAHAB, SINAI / EGYPT:
One week to go... what more can I say?
Hurghada and Sharm are ugly, Dahab is nice. The wind is cold but doesn't stop the northerners from dipping into the Red Sea. The Egyptian touts are maddening, but some helped us get our bank card out of the ATM machine. The Bedouin camels were literally a pain in the bum, the experience unforgettable. Life is great, even now the local shesha-smoker has a high-pitched voice ;-)

Mecca Cola vs Coca Cola, Mecca wins when you are so close to Saudi Arabia.

Camping outside the ATM that swallowed the card.

After driving ox carts, elephants, horses and tractors, camels were a piece of cake.

The Red Sea: kitir jamil = beautiful.
