Two weeks in the one of the most beautiful surroundings of ancient antiquity. Some going way back 5000 years. I remember being in Rome and just not believing some of the buildings standing there for 2000 years.. but here in Egypt it goes even further… unbelievable.

Standing in front of the Great Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, temples of Luxor and Saqqara, Valleys of the Kings and Queens …all the things I have learned and seen in the history books… at my feet.  

Climbing Mt. Moses, the same place where the foundation of the most influential religious movement known took place. And the week scuba-diving in the Red Sea…underwater paradise.

I consider myself beyond lucky to be able to do all that.

As you will see on the photographs I did it in the company of Sonia who came all the way from Australia and proved to be a great travel companion and dive baddy. Hope you enjoy looking at the pictures we took. I definitely will… they bring back the very best of memories.
