While the fish are the highlight, the coral itself is pretty amazing - there must be a zillion types

I was having a good close look at this coral and the life around it!

That's me - minutes after becoming a certified diver!

This was the hole we swam through underwater on the deep dive to 30m. It was a wee bit freaky!

This electric blue stingray was awesome

We passed these camels being led by kids to a mass gathering of the beasts for tourist camel safaris

I had wondered if the kids were off to school on the camels, but apparantly not

Day 12 - to Cairo

Because I had decided to have a third day diving (and get 3/5 dives for the Advanced Certificate completed!), I sadly could not climb Mount Sinai during the night of our eleventh day.  I understand from reports that it was a gruelling walk, made worthwhile by the cloudy sunrise at the top, but to be honest I was quite happy to spend the night in a warm bed!  The rest of Day 12 was spent travelling by bus back to Cairo.
