Sharm El Sheikh

Well after almost four months of working in Egypt I finally did a little traveling.  My first destination is a popular vacation spot in Egypt called Sharm El Sheikh.  It is a place located on the Red Sea and it was beautiful.  I spent 4 days there over Easter weekend and spent a lot of time on the beach and did a little bit of scuba diving.



This is a picture of Shark's Bay Beach where I spent most of my vacation.  It was very quiet and I was lucky to have great weather.  The coral went from the beginning of the beach all the way to the end of the dock and then there was a 12 - 15 dropoff.  It was a great place to snorkel and the coral was great.  As I mentioned I did a little bit of scuba diving ( 3 dives to be exact) and didn't see anything really amazing except for a large manta ray.



I met up with my old roommate Eric who is being shipped off to either Qatar or Saudi Arabia for a new project.  The nightlife was........ well it was interesting to say the least.  There were mainly Russians on holiday so it was difficult to communicate with most.  Although I did get to meet a few people from around the world.  So all in all the first trip was a lot of fun.  I will be headed to Cairo for a few weekends in the next couple of months but my next official trip is back to the U S of A in the end of June.
