Egypt in brief
People have been visiting
Egypt for a long time, attracted by treasures and
pyramids as well as trade in many items. Secrets were buried long ago in the sands; these are still
revealing exciting and new ideas and information on an impressive past thousands of years later. Egypt is still a land of
mysteries.
The mountainous area is the Sinai Peninsula; this is where the commandments were born
amongst other biblical stories (remember the parting of the sea from school). This area has been the gateway
between Africa and Asia for a long time with a strategic position that has
caused many conflicts. The Red Sea
splits into the Gulf of Suez
on the left and the deeper Gulf of
Aqaba on the right of the Sinai peninsula.
The population is mostly Bedouin, these tribes
intermingle with Egyptians. The areas are now popular with the divers of the world presenting
some incredible wrecks and lots of amazing coral dive sites with the promise of many fish, turtles, dolphins and even sharks. You can
not fail to get away from the hustle and bustle of home.
The weather varies from warm to down right hot.
