Day 4 Discover Egypt We leave the hotel all still half asleep and head by mini bus to a meeting point. We arrive at the meeting point and it is a mass of buses and coaches all heading for the temple. The idea behind meeting up is that we will travel in convoy with a security escort, even though the risk of anything happen to someone in Egypt is very low. The journey takes around 3 hours and before long we find ourself walking down to the great temples. The s...

Day 3 Discover Egypt We wake at 05:30 and leave for the airport for our 08:00 flight. Once at the gate we find that the flight is delayed and we are told that they are unsure what time the flight will leave. We eventually board our flight and arrive in Aswan about 13:00.

Day 1 Discover Egypt This morning I said good by to Alana. It is hard to see my new friends leaving but will spend the afternoon with Lucinda hanging out before I join my new group.

In the end he asks someone in the...

Day 8 Today we leave the Sinai and head off to Cairo. The journey takes about 6 hours. We travel under the suize canal and after about an hour we see the vast expanse of Cairo stretching out in front of us. The whole of Cairo seems to be under construction with buildings half built and rubble every where. It is very hot and the roads are mad. We arrive at the hotel and it is the best so far. We check in and all head out for something to eat. We stop at a resta...
