May 14th- Safaga, Egypt

Here we are in Egypt!! Judging from the news, I guess our timing could have been better...but don't feel too sorry for us yet. Before we go into the lion's den (Cairo), on the full moon, we decided to have one relaxing day at the beach. Safaga is the oldest seaport in Egypt. It dates, from hyroglyphic scrolls, to the era of Cheops in the "Old Kingdom", somewhere between 3,500-4,000 years ago. They've had a long time to perfect the "beach resort" concept....and voila!



Ersatz Egypt!
