Dec 12, 2006 - EGYPT: Marsa Alam

Punctuality in the Middle East is not a strong point - why did we expect this to work? The trip involved a taxi to the port, boat across the Red Sea, taxi to the bus station and then a bus to Marsa Alam. ... We arrived at 7pm for an 8pm bus that would arrive in Marsa Alam at 1am. ... We guess the logic was that if you charge in Euros you can charge at European prices, especially as most guests flew directly to Marsa Alam from Europe and probably didn't see anything else of Egypt. ... Needless to say we are using it as an excuse as to why we are so far behind with the website! The coastline at Marsa Alam was amazing, the spot was quite isolated (we were 24 km away from any type of town) and the views were amazing. ... This dive ended up being the highlight of the Marsa Alam trip because the other dives that were organised turned into a debacle through incompetence by the dive operators. ...
