After the Valley of the Kings we went to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut,
not far away. By now I was starting to get a little "templed out" but it was interesting nonetheless.

Day 7 - New Years Eve - Dahab
We arrived in Dahab after travelling by road and ferry and spending a very short night in Hurghada.
We settled into the basic hotel accommodation and headed up into the mountains for a New Years Eve dinner with some local
Bedouin people. It was a fabulous and unforgettable way to welcome in the New Year.
|
| We were treated to a Bedouin "barbeque" meal by candlelight, high in the mountains around Dahab |
|
| After dinner the men started dancing and singing for us. They were clearly having so much fun. |
|
| This boy, whose father wasn't even in the group, was having an absolute ball being out with the men. |
|
| The circle around the campfire got smaller as the night drew to a close |
