Four Americans, Three Guides, and 400 Camels
"He wanted to know why you're still in Cairo. He told me, 'The four Americans are supposed to be in Alexandria today.'"
Indeed, according to our original itinerary, we were. But we'd changed our plans and decided to spend the day seeing Cairo's Citadel, big mosque, and bazaar. Alexandria was moved to later in the week.
But who were these men who'd stopped our driver to question him about our comings-and-goings? The tourist police, an ever-present force in Egypt. You see them standing on corners, pacing in shopping districts, even patrolling camelback. |

Buyer Beware of Building Standards if Buying Property in Eygpt
One of the key differences between emerging property markets, such as those in Morocco, North Cyprus and Egypt for example and established real estate markets such as those in France, the Republic of Cyprus and Spain, can be tangibly observed in the form of building standards – or rather a lack of them! |

The Red Sea in Egypt for Scuba Diving
For Europeans, traveling to the Red Sea for scuba diving is like North Americans going to the Caribbean. For a scuba diver based in North America or anywhere else outside of Europe or Africa, a journey to the Red Sea is considered one of the more exotic scuba diving trips. Like other overseas travel, getting to the final destination is the hardest thing. The Red Sea can be dived from ports in both Egypt and Israel but most international scuba divers do so from the Egyptian side. |

Egyptian Math
How many Egyptians does it take to change a light bulb?
I counted five. Lief, the kids, and I stood waiting in the front room of our suite while they went chaotically from fixture to fixture, one guy carrying a dozen packages of bulbs, the others twisting out, twisting in, turning the light switches on and off, on and off, to test the relative success of their efforts |

Sinai Desert: Diving in Dahab
There’s no place on earth like Dahab – a palm fringed bay in the midst of a vast arid landscape - an intoxicating mix of desert, Bedouin culture....and diving. The sand
meets the sea in a most dramatic way and a fringing reef stretches further than the eye can see. The best bit? Many of the good dive sites can only be reached by camel!! |

The Sinai
Egypt is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, but most visitors see very little of what this fabulous country has to offer. Everyone wants to join the hoards visiting the Pyramids, The Valley Of the Kings and Abu Simbel. Everyone dreams of a Nile Cruise, all things that you should do at least once, but what of the rest of the country? Unhappily Egypt has one of the lowest rates of return visit in the world, perhaps because it has not sufficiently promoted the rest of its many attractions. |

Notes From The Egyptian Desert
About two hours out of Cairo on the road to Bahariya Oasis, we turn east into the desert. At first it’s what is called “black desert”. Billions of tiny pebbles and ancient shells have worked their way to the surface and cover the sand in a dark blanket. This is treacherous to drive on and our two Bedouin guides, Mohamed and Salah, prefer sand runs which are solider and more dependable. It’s a fast exciting bumpy ride until we come to the edge of the escarpment. The first level of the valley floor is about 100 meters below us; the drivers skirt the edge of the drop coming heart-stopping close to the edge at times, and driving over slopes that tilt the Toyota Land-Cruisers at scary angles toward the drop. |

Jumping Ship On The Nile
From the deck I could see a jumble of dark wooden buildings with one brilliant blue door of a tourist shop blazing beneath a white mosque. The adjacent tourist street was well defined by overhead awnings. In short, just the sort of town for wandering and in truth just the right time for a little relief from the overwhelming grandeur of the Pharaohs. Having crouched in the tunnel of Cheop's Pyramid, stood like ants in the shadow of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel, sailed to Philae and marveled at lesser temples, each worthy of a trip to Egypt, I was on monument overload. |

Travel to Touch a Chord ~ Seeking Genetic and Sociologic Ties ~ The Inherent Truth of How Similar We All Are to All of Humanity
Award winning author
Carolyn Howard-Johnson writes, "Of all the experiences I had, with sights, sounds and wonderful people,
the one that stands out for me was this affirmation of creative theory. Not only because I now feel
more assured, somehow, about the similarities between my work and myth, but also because I am
somehow connected to the inherent truth of how similar we all are to all of humanity, clear back to the
first stirrings of creative mankind." |
