Walk Like an Egyptian

The Bangles might have like walked like an Egyptian. However with summer temperatures well up into the high 30s / low 40s I prefer not want to do much walking in Egypt, however maybe like me you will want to dive in the Red Sea.

Diving in the Red Sea.

With flights now resumed to Sharm El-Sheikh, all of the Red Sea resorts including Hurghada, Marsa Alam, El Gouna and Taba are bookable all year round for diving holidays. There is a dive school and dive destination to suit all standards of diver including beginners. I never fancied diving in a cold quarry in the UK! Red Sea from me every time.

I got drawn to this area of the world after reading my grandfather’s war records and discovered that he spent time on a hospital in Aden. Given the political situation, resorts on the Red Sea became the next best alternative to gain an understanding of the conditions that he faced at that time.
