Then it was off out into the desert….a new adventure starts...We drove out to a truck stop type place which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere to meet out drivers and to get different cars. We certainly attracted a lot of attention. I think we were ... Read more >

I was up before sunrise today for our hot air balloon ride. Hot air ballooning has never really been one of those things that I have craved doing. I have to admit that I sort of classed it as a little to tame for my inner adrenaline junkie- however ... Read more >

Finally some relaxation! Well sort of. After the worlds most frustrating and bladder stretching journey we arrived in Aswan feeling gross. Thankfully Khaled, the best tour leader on the planet (this is a guy who knows people!) had a minivan waiting ... Read more >

This one deserves its own story. The overnight train- definitely not something I would ever care to repeat. We had our very long day exploring the exciting and wonderful sites of Cairo. This was exhausting (especially due to the heat) and ... Read more >

An early morning and we were off to see the sights. First was the best- the pyramids. Here I had one of those “I really can’t believe I’m here” moments. It was breath taking, brilliant, wonderful… I could go on forever. Because we got there early I ... Read more >

Egypt, first impression- this place is absolutely mental. We arrived in Cairo excited about what was to come. We were met at the airport by a really helpful guy from Geckos who helped us get our visa and then went to get our luggage. My bag, of course, ... Read more >

I finally managed to pull myself away from Dahab. Pristine coral reefs, 1.75 a night accomodation and 2 dollar meals. It was hard to leave to say the least. I climbed Mt. Sinai before I left. We climbed in the middle of the night so we could see ... Read more >

I've been in Dahab I think a week now. This is one of the places that you get here as a backpacker passing through, and then stay forever. I got here via bus from Luxor. It was an 18 hour bus ride overnight. They played Arabic movies, which mostly ... Read more >

Cairo is a loud, HUGE, rambuncticous, dirty, old, hustling, crowded (17.8 million people in the metropolitan area), amazing city. And we have fallen in love with this place.
First off, we are safe and sound after a harrowing taxi ride into the ... Read more >

So I decided to take the "famous deluxe overnight sleeper" from Cairo to Aswan, Egypt. Supposed to be a 9 hour ride turned into 15 hours on the train. Can't say much for punctuality in this country. I'm not complaining though, it was an interesting ... Read more >

I really can't articulate my experiences in Cairo, so this story is just going to be subjective. I got to Cairo, me and a guy at the hostel hired a car and driver to take us to Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis. We hired a guide to take us through the sights ... Read more >
