    With hundreds of thousands protesting, you can somehow forget the rumblings of a hungry stomach. However, savvy businessmen fill the Square with the smells of fresh popcorn, spicy foul and frying falafel. Families and friends huddle together eating and drinking. The conversation is one of hope. Hope that after so much chaos, the return to stability is not so far away. : by jessesharratt, Views[565]
         		 As the protests grow in Tahrir, an offshoot battle with police takes place not 500 meters away. Teenage boys and young men fill Simon Bolivar Square, where the anger with the presidency boils over. Tear gas fired by police fills the street and fearless protesters grab them one by one to throw back. Adrenaline drives the people in waves, reacting in unison. : by jessesharratt, Views[476]
         		 The protests are not categorized by one group of people. It ranges from families soaking in history, academics fighting for justice, and young people realizing their power to shape Egypt. Standing among protesters from the Ultras White Knights, a group of fanatic football fans, the energy and chants grow in intensity. The recognition that Egyptian voices are louder than ever impassion the people.: by jessesharratt, Views[606]
         		 “Ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam!” chant the people as Egyptian flags fill the air. Once again, the people demand the fall of the regime. The opposition depicts President Morsi as a puppet of the new regime, one backed by the formerly outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. Both factions have very distinct political and ideological aspirations. Nevertheless, common ground amid the turbulence is illustrated by their love of Egypt.: by jessesharratt, Views[1870]
         		 Almost two years from the toppling of former dictator Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian people remain unsatisfied following the recent presidential elections. The polarizing transition towards democracy manifests itself in protests opposing President Mohamed Morsi’s vision for Egypt. Emerging onto a rooftop on Cairo’s iconic Tahrir Square, the energy and cacophony of voices rising from below is palpable.: by jessesharratt, Views[845]
     
    Hawksbill Turtle: I was lucky enough to have this encounter during the summer holiday (2012) on the corner of Jackson Reef in the Straits of Tiran, Egypt. An example of the biodiversity, colour and beauty of coral reefs all over the world. Which sadly are under threat and the amount of time that we will have them looking like this may be limited. This beautiful hawksbill was completely at ease with getting as close as I liked and even moved toward where I was. A beautiful moment, on a beautiful dive, in a beautiful place.: by nuttallsmithphotos, Views[261]
         		 Steps to the heaven of the Ocean: The stairs that take you from the harsh and barren land to the heaven that awaits under the water. It is one of the many things that makes this part of the world so special, the contrast. You literally step off the desert and into the coral filled sea. It gives you a stark reminder of the hidden beauty that is the underwater world.: by nuttallsmithphotos, Views[410]
         		 Sunrise over the Red Sea: Sometimes it is worth getting up that little bit earlier.. This was taken in Dahab, Egypt as the sun rose over Saudi Arabian soil. This is one of my favourite places that I have been to. A truly peaceful and calming place. Everyone is kind hearted and well meaning, they don’t care for the clothes that you wear nor the style in which you have your hair.. It seems to be a place where people are judged on who they are and not by what they own.. A wonderful place where the issues of the world seem to float away and the mind is at peace..: by nuttallsmithphotos, Views[336]
         		 Mount Moses: As you descend from the summit of Mount Moses you reach a cluster of buildings. The simplicity of the place, the silence, the clarity, is all truly peaceful. It is easy to see why this a place of faith and spirituality, everything about the place allows you to see past what is directly in front of you. It also gives you a chance to clear your mind and just feel the place that you are in. A wonderful stop off on the long walk down.: by nuttallsmithphotos, Views[280]
         		 Sunrise at the Top: 7km up, after 4 hours of walking and you reach the summit of Mt Sinai (Mt Moses) and the tranquility bursts out over the horizon at 4 30am. The feeling of reward for a bit of effort floods your body as the first warmth hits your face. The air is still and there is no sound, you feel yourself sink into calmness and just watch the slowly climbing sun creep over and cast light over the landscape at your feet. It may not be the edge of space, but hey.. its not too bad.: by nuttallsmithphotos, Views[366]

         		 Lone Red Sea Houndfish (Tylosurus choram) off the southern edge of the Gordon Reef. Increased interest from tourists has led to a gradual degradation of Red Sea reefs which negatively affects the long term survival of this fragile ecosystem. : by mostafa236, Views[522]
     
    Stony corals off the south western edge of the Gordon Reef. Coral reefs are particularly sensitive to man-made changes to their environment. Of particular concern to the Gordon Reef is the construction of the proposed Saudi-Egypt causeway which would release more sediment and pollutants into the Tiran Straits. The disruption to local fish populations caused by the actual causeway would further stress this fragile ecosystem and potentially lead to irreversible damage. : by mostafa236, Views[365]
         		 A Sulphur damselfish and a Parrot fish are seen here feeding on the microscopic algae growing on coral reefs. In the background, a school of Bicolor damselfish swim across a column of bubbles generated by scuba divers.: by mostafa236, Views[604]
         		 Bluespotted ribbontail ray (Taeniura lymma) scurries for shelter near the wreckage of the Loullia. Often found near shipwrecks, the Bluespotted ribbontail ray usually hides inside caves or under coral ledges during the day.: by mostafa236, Views[247]
         		 Wreckage of the Loullia which ran aground onto the Gordon Reef while on route to Suez from Aqaba on September 29, 1981. The Red Sea is home to many shipwrecks owing to its strong winds and jagged reefs which make navigation quite hazardous to ships. Many of these shipwrecks have become landmark destinations for scuba divers.: by mostafa236, Views[729]

         		 Anwar and Mercedes wait for tourists to descend from the sacred mountain of Dakrour. After the Arab Spring, tourist numbers have declined dramatically and Anwar is lucky to earn enough cash to buy feed for Mercedes. These are worrying times for Anwar, not only may he have to sell his steadfast donkey but soon he must leave to join the Egyptian army for his mandatory 2 year service. : by dahlia, Views[788]
     
    After her daughter returns from school, Aya enjoys one of her greatest pleasures, an afternoon stroll in the desert. For her and her child, these simple moments are golden as both suffer from chronic heart conditions. Aya, who sews traditional Siwan garments for a living, often has to wait dangerously long periods until she has enough money for blood transfusions, specialist appointments and medicines.: by dahlia, Views[756]
         		 All appears calm as Mohamed and Fathi sip mint tea by Abu Sharuf spring and reflect on their olive and date business. Since ancient Egyptian times, their families have lived and worked in Siwa but with a crumbling Egyptian economy and rising salinity levels, in an oasis 17 meters below sea level, these two cousins have a lot on their minds. : by dahlia, Views[701]
         		 In her last week of pregnancy, Besma spends her mornings kneading and baking bread to supply to a local hotel. She leaves her fate to Allah, saying “Insha Allah (if God is willing) I will give birth at home.” Home births are common in Siwa Oasis but if there are any complications, women face a long and crowded bus trip through the desert to the closest maternity hospital.: by dahlia, Views[575]
         		 Those who have finished afternoon prayers stretch their legs at the half way stop to Siwa oasis, in the Egyptian Western desert. Siwa, known for it’s mystical powers, healing springs and quality dates has attracted travellers and merchants for thousands of years. Even Cleopatra and Alexander the Great were compelled to join caravans of camels that followed migrating birds across this formidable desert. : by dahlia, Views[773]
