Favourite activities: Definately the diving but I also rode a camel which was a laugh. The traffic in Cairo is wicked... like organised chaos that somehow just works. Donkeys on the outer lane of a five lane road over a bridge on the nile! Packing tips: Definitely pack a warm jumper for night time and even though you think there are no mosquitoes remember to wear repellent at night... I got eaten alive on my last night wearing shorts. The tour starts in Cairo with the 14 day tour group and then splits off to go to dahab on an overnight bus. Its a long trip so remember a travel pillow and something warm cause the driving cranks the air con. Also if possible get a flight into cairo and out of Sharm el sheik which is only 1.5 hours from Dahab. it would have been much nicer than a packed 10 hour bus ride back to Cairo. There were only two people on the dive tour, me and another kiwi. There were other kiwis, aussies and an english girl on the 14 day tour. Generally chilled out people. I would definitely suggest this tour for people learning to dive and other experienced divers were saying the red sea has some of the best dive sites in the world. It was awesome - even just snorkelling is fantastic. It was a good time of year to go as there were less people (still loads) and it wasn't boiling hot but still warm enough to dive. Egyptians are lovely people and I loved it and I'll definitely go back one day once I have more diving experience and can relax egyptian style! |
