مغامرة عبر مص

I get it, you've had enough of my trip. But I haven't! Here's just one more collage of a few photos taken in Egypt. Because of our epic delay on the ferry from Jordan to Egypt, time was of the essence and many of our plans were scratched. We had a great time nonetheless and I wouldn't hesitate to return to Nuweiba, a coastal town in the Sinai region. The snorkeling was incomparable, our couchsurfing contact was helpful and friendly, the falafel was as good as ever and the tiny beach hut we stayed in was cozy and fun. We had just a night and a morning in Cairo before we departed but we covered the basics while there, seeing a belly dancing show in the grittiest of downtown bars and the Pyramids of Giza. Too special for the collage (or words), I've also included some full size belly dancing photos.

summary

A one-hour ferry ride across the Red Sea from Jordan to Egypt somehow morphed itself into a 36-hour epic. Just when we were about to jump ship at hour 30 things started to pick up and Kiffen was thrown an Egyptian surprise party. This quick video accurately sums it up and quite nicely introduces our little romp around the Middle East.
