View of Egypt in 7 Days

Egyptian view in 7 days? That's exactly what I gave my DEAR DEAR sahbiti Vanessa when she came to visit me a couple weeks ago. While I was showing her around Egypt, from the Pyramids to Mount Sinai, I felt like I was seeing everything for the first time. Seeing all the incredible sites and destinations Egypt makes me realize how absolutely breathtaking this country is. And experiencing it with someone close to you or love makes it that much better. There have been numerous instances when i have been traveling somewhere in Egypt and all I could think was "hmm..This would be so cool if my family and friends could see this!!". So it was really cool to have Vanessa here, and oh did I show her the very best of this country!
We started off with the Pyramids and Coptic Cairo the day she got here...in the heat, oh goodness. And then headed for a felluca down the Nile, which I always always enjoy. For the weekend we hopped on a microbus and headed for Dahab on the Sinai Peninsula. Beautiful. Dahab is definitely one of my favorite places in Egypt. While we were in Dahab we took a day (kind of) trip to Mount Sinai & St. Catherine Monastery. And after 3 days in lovely Dahab, we were back in Cairo and she was off to Obama-land.
Most Amazing/Interesting Moments:
1. Seeing a scorpion for the first time
2. Riding on an anorexic Camel by the Pyramids and attempting to read hieroglyphics
3. Talking until the sun came up her first day here!....gossip & catching up hehe
4. Arriving to the Blue Hole in Dahab, a diving/snorkel spot
5. Seeing nemo and the reef while we snorkeled (AMAZING!) definitely one of the most beautiful and exciting thing I have ever seen.
6. Watching the sunset during dinner on the Red Sea, twas pink & purple!
7. Hiking up Mount Sinai at 2 AM in the morning for 3 hours!!!
