  • Dahab Days, Arabian Nights

    After the sweltering 115 degree heat (in the SHADE!) of Luxor, it was time to head up the coast and kick back for a few days by the Read Sea. So Short Round and I hopped into the transport for an 18 hour overnight ride to Dahab, city by the sea.

    Delicious and totally not copyright infringement

    *cue music*


    Come with me to a land in a faraway place

    Where the caravan camels roam


    Where they cut off your ear if they dont like your face, it’s barbaric, but hey, let’s go!

    Dahab is famous mostly for it’s diving, seafood, and proximity to Mt Sinai. But more on that last one later. Each morning, we had to catch the hotel shuttle to the town, or call for a cab, as we were about too far away to walk there


    Dahab is a tourist resort town, and outside the tourist areas, this is how most people live. On the whole, they seem to be doing rather well for themselves, as Dahab is usually a chilly 90 degrees with its proximity to the water
      
    When the winds from the east and the sun’s from the west and the sand in the glass is right…

    c’mon down,

    stop on by,

    hop a carpet and fly, to another arabian niiiiggggghttttt


    Fresh caught fish from that morning…guess they are no longer “under the sea!”

    Mezes, or appetizer, a series of salads to whet your appetite before the meal

    Some Shrimp, red and white snapper, and a bunch of grilled veggies were our fresh caught dinner

    Short Round could barely contain himself

    Next time: ATV’s and ninjas!
