Egypt, Underwater World

The corals of the Red SeaThe underwater world of the Red Sea

It was the final day of my short staying in Egypt. At the end of my trip, I could not but visit the excursion on the boat with the transparent bottom. Underwater world of the Red sea is simply amazing! Honestly, I feel jealous of people who are able to dive on their own and admire corals along with bright fishes. I wish, I would experience it as well one day.

Egypt, Ancient Luxor

The ancient columns

Luxor is a city on the east bank of the Nile River in southern Egypt. It is located about 500 kilometres south of Cairo. Luxor is often called the world’s greatest open-air museum. Nothing in the world can compare to the scale and grandeur of the monuments that have survived from ancient Thebes.
Karnak temple, Luxor temple, the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens offer the magnificent views and grant vivid impressions.

Egypt, Diving in the Red Sea

Diving is extremely popular in Sharm El Sheikh. However, I am not that brave to try it, because I believe that it is quite dangerous.

Egypt, Pyramids

The ancient pyramidBedouin

We have a day trip to Cairo. I was surprised by the fact that the famous pyramids are located not far from the city. Honestly, the pyramids did not impress me much.

Here are a few words about Cairo: there are many beggars in the streets, the traffic is heavy, the Nile river is dirty. But it is colourful and distinctive.
