Egypt

I dont even know where to start. We had an amazing time in Egypt, and saw so many things. We did the first 2 weeks of our trip with a group through Intrepid Travel, the group was 14 people including us and it was great. It was really nice having a group that wasn't huge so we weren't in buses the whole time, and everyone was really fun (pretty much all Australians and 2 Canadians I think). We also had our friends Matt & Stacey with us (Matt's best friend growing up, and his now fiance).

After the 2 week tour, Matt and I headed over to a town on the Red Sea called Dahab for a week of beach time. It was beautiful and relaxing, a perfect way to end the trip.

I'm going to try and write a bunch of posts with pictures over the next couple weeks, in various parts based on the trip and cities we visited. Here is a little map of our tour!

We started in Cairo March 6th, and travelled down south to Aswan & Luxor. We then went through the desert and saw a few different Oasis towns (Dahkla, Siwa Oasis) and we even camped in the White Desert one night.
