Egypt – Sinai. Dahab – once a silent backpackers outpost now is changing his face – they built here nice promenade along the coast. More and more hotels require payment in euro or dollars (30 euro per room). But thanks God there are still also “Beduin Camps” where you can stay for 25-30 pounds – like 6 USD. So if you came here – look for the camp like “Sindbad” .
Sun is strong – my laundry is almost dry after few hours…
I took today a long – 5 km -walk along the coast – north – to the Blue Hole. Located in the nice scenery it is great place for diving and snorkeling. You can rent there your mask and snorkel for 10 pounds and jump into the warm water to enjoy the wonderful views of coral gardens and nice fish… I saw already one Blue Hole – on Palau Island but that close to Dahab is easy accessible and offers great snorkeling. Many agencies offer day tours from Dahab to the canyons of Sinai. Typical price for day tour is 150 pounds. That’s much… I’ll try to find other solution to see picturesque places around…
