Egypt trip

Well a week ago I took my wife and myself off to marsa alam in Egypt for a couple of weeks in the sun,I thought I would swap -8 for a steady 28-32 instead ,it’s only five and half hours from U.K. so quite easy to get to and really Cheap
Here’s our hotel viewhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...47f7f3a0da.jpg I’ve been to Egypt about 8 times in various locations ,I’ve seen the valley of the kings ,Karnak temple and a few other places already when the kids where younger which was amazing .
the Red Sea is just so warm, today we went on an amazing boat trip and it didn’t disappoint I got to swim with turtles,a dougon(sea cow)stingrays and even 3 dolphins came to play for minutes,we even went past a lemon shark and countless fish on the reefs,I will upload some under water pics when I’m home but a few from my phone from the boat

gee, thanks for making me extremely jealous!!!

that sounds like an amazing trip! i can't wait for more photos!!!

You just made me learn something. I didn't know there were Manatees outside the US. All I ever here about are the endangered ones in Florida. Turns out there are Indian and African versions. I asusme the ones you saw were the African version.

(insert crazy mad jealous face here)

Incredible trip - more pics please!

Thanks everyone it’s an amazing place that’s for sure,
yes they very much like your manatees but have a dolphin shape tail rather rounded,same face and everything else they do is the same

Do people still lose a day of their holidays to a stomach upset ?

that sounds like an awesome time!

cuddle fish, cute fish, lion fish?

have u traveled inland to see the pyramids and stuff? have u seen Nile Crocodiles?

Glad you were able to get away for some R&R. It looks like a beautiful place.

I think they might realise something if you came back with a tan zincubus I fancied getting out our British winter for a bit and try and bring some sun back
Pyramids are six hour away and still a bit of trouble up that end , when I first came here with my kids in 2006 did valley of the kings , hadshput, Karnak and Luxor temple had a trip down the Nile too, me kids was well chuffed as they done that sort of stuff in history so all kinda made sense, no never seen a croc I’m afraid
The cute one is a type of puffer fish, got some great videos of two octopus from last time we came too holding hands was well cute like it was scared to move
