The sun streamed through the cracks in my curtains at about 5:30am and I realised I am still waking up at the crack of dawn, every morning. I opened the curtains and looked out to greet Aswan, I saw the dawn over the River Nile, the river sparkled in the sunlight as the dawn slowly crept over the small islands, reeds and temples, it was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen.

We left the desert at around 7:30am and drove at full speed back to Bahariya, where we had a quick stop at the hotel, before getting on the bus back to Cairo. A bus we only made by 5 minutes. It was a very noisy ride back, the guy sitting next to me would not stop shouting the entire way and even Disturbed and Korn couldn't block him out.

I then had to run around and find the hotel manager so I could get my bus ticket to get back to Cairo.

I got on the bus and we drove around th...
