Many tourists love going to and returning to Ras Mohammed Nature Reserve because one of the most famous dive sites in Egypt. The Reserve is home to a stunning coral reef, one of the most popular tourist attractions. In addition to the coral reef, the Reserve also features mangrove forests, lagoons, seagrass beds, and various fish and bird species.
When I tell people we are taking the kids to Egypt, I get two responses: The first is sudden, like a knee jerk reaction: “Have you seen the news lately?! Is Egypt even safe to visit?”
If ever there was an ‘Am I Still on Planet Earth?’ sort of a desert, it’s Wadi Rum. Mention Jordan to 20-to-30-something adventurers, and many will tell you that the country begins and ends right here.
Egypt was a milestone for me in many ways. It was the 10th country that I have explored and my first time in the continent of Africa.
I reach Dahab in the early afternoon after an eight-hour road journey from Cairo. Although the route goes through bumpy terrain and involves a lot of winding roads, it’s a surprisingly pleasant experience.
Having worked in the UK reservations office for the last 4 months and from my training and research into this tour I thought that I knew all there was to know about the itinerary and what to expect. What I didn’t count on and what made my experience surprising and exceptional were the people I encountered.
