Dahab Forever!



Well, we found a place that we might never want to leave. Dahab!

After arriving in Egypt from Kuwait we took a bus from Luxor to Dahab. We went up the west side of the Red Sea and then crossed the Suez canal via tunnel, and came down the Sinai Peninsula to Dahab, which is also on the red sea. What a fantastic place! We just got here today and are very excited.






This place is as nice as any resort town we've seen before. It has very nice hotels, very cool places to eat on the beach while fires blaze, not to mention snorkeling in the coral of the Red Sea. The diving and snorkeling here is said to be second in the world, only to The Great Barrier Reef. We plan to get our snorkeling routine started tomorrow.

The setting here is also very cool. As you may have guessed Sinai is home to Mt. Sinai, also known as Mt. Horeb. We are going to climb that while we're here, and perhaps we'll have some new commandments for you! We can see mountain everywhere. They're not huge, but very cool. When we look out over the Red Sea we can AL"REDY SEA" the mountains of Saudi Arabia, which is neat.

So if you want a nice little retreat from winter to a really cool spot, with hotels on the beach for $5 a night and 3 course steak or seafood dinners for less than $10 you should come to Dahab; we'll be here for a week! We'll be the people chasing fish and laying beside the blue waters discussing which shop makes the best milkshakes and banana pancakes.



See you here!
