Egypt2010Trip

Our 2nd journey to Egypt (the first was in 2000), had us tour Cairo and surroundings for 2 days, diving in the Red Sea (mostly wrecks) for a week, and then on a Nile Cruise for the last 4 days.

Egypt is a magical place, and although we have no pictures here of it, the Egyptian Museum itself is spectacular and not to be missed.

Do not ever drive a car in Egypt, as there are no lanes, 20 million people trying to get from place to place, and horns honking is the way they do it!

Frankly this trip and the order of the sites made much more sense than the first trip. The pyramids are much older than the temples of the Nile. So it was easier to conceptualize all the sights in chronological order. One thing that was so simple but cleared up so many things.

We loved Egypt both times, and highly recommend it to anyone who has the fortune to visit. Some notes below and many pictures both underwater and above to follow. Highlights are contained on the following pages. The main picture gallery is here. Enjoy! John and Kath
