Ras Mohammed National Park in Egypt

To FREEDOMtravel

We have visited Ras Mohammed National Park in Egypt. Wow! You can travel here for diving or snorkelling - or to stay in tents directly under the stars. We went here for a day trip, but we would love to return for a longer visit.

Karnak and Luxor in Egypt - and a female pharaoh

To FREEDOMtravel

On our trip to Egypt in 2005, we hadn't planned much more than sunbathing and swimming. Then it turned out that the beach was confined to a small area behind a wall and the persistent vendors outside made life difficult. Instead, we booked the week full of excursions, which turned out to be very successful.

Hurghada, Egypt - sun, sea and desert safaris

To FREEDOMtravel

Hurghada, Egypt - our very first trip abroad together. Peter and I met in 2003, and in February 2005 we travelled to Hurghada. We had been working hard renovating apartments and found cheap tickets to an all-inclusive hotel on the beach. So, what did we think of Egypt then?
