Sharm-el-Sheikh: Sheraton Sharm-el-Sheikh and Snorkeling in Ras Muhammad National Park

December 26, 2004
0 Comment
There are no direct buses to Sharm-el-Sheikh from Mount Sinai- it’s necessary to go through Dahab. The one bus for Dahab leaves at 1pm. We took a taxi down from the Monastery (which doesn’t accept credit cards by the way, but does accept US$), and instead of taking 2 buses

St. Catherine’s Monastery and Mt. Sinai

December 25, 2004
0 Comment
We took the Upper Egypt Company direct bus to St Catherine’s. It’s a 9 hour trip. It took us about 2 hours to get out of Cairo, owing in large part to a 1 hour stop at another bus station on the edge of the city.…

Terrible Nile Cruise experience with Hamis Travel (Cairo Dan Tours)

December 15, 2004
1 Comment
We arranged a 4 night cruise through Hamis Travel in Cairo. They came recommended by the Lonely Planet. It was a planning disaster. After several email exchanges (with long periods of silence from them), we had arranged a price of $500 US for a 4 night cruise (per person).…

Cairo: Egyptian Museum (Tutankhamen), Coptic Cairo, City of the Dead, Mosque of Qaytbay, Khan-al-Khalili, Restaurant Felfela

January 05, 2004

During the day, we had visited the Egyptian Museum. It’s big. Really big. The building itself is pretty plain, and filled to bursting with ancient artifacts. The English labeling is pretty scarce, so make sure you have a good guidebook.…

Back in Cairo

January 05, 2004
0 Comment
Arriving in Cairo for our last few days, we headed out of the train station towards the taxi rank for the inevitable fight with the taxi drivers. They wanted to charge us quadruple the local rate to drive us to our hotel.…

Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca, Morocco

March 17, 2001

We arrived in Casablanca after taking a morning train from Marrakech. We had 5 hours before our plane left to take us back to Madrid, and so we only had time to see one destination: of course, the Hassan II mosque.…
