Dahab the Gem of Egypt

Dahab is worth the trip. everyone says welcome. Sharm El-sheikh is south of here and full of resorts. The tallest building here is about 3 stories. The promenade is long and runs the whole beach. Seven heaven was the place to eat. You sit on pillows and beside the sea. You do not have to be in a rush. the food takes forever but the atmosphere is so mellow you would wait all day. The food was good and very cost effective. Will have to try tons of food places while I am here. this will be the place to relax after a stellar trip. Some good people.

My accommodation is very simple with fan. The door does close but will not lock from the inside. no worries . Not worried about safety.

There was a bomb here t the end of 2005 that hurt tourism for a few years. the diving here is to some of the best in the world. 28 people dead and 60 injured.

Tomorrow I will start my Advance open water course. I planned to do the blue hole and i goes down to 28 meters. An open water diver max's at 16Meters.

the rules here are clear. No worries could use to take a refresher anyhow. 5 Dives and two days. enough time to get in some rec dives and have a bit of fun. Lawrence if you are reading this I guarantee you would love it...

This town has 3 streets and 50 restaurants. Beer is only served at about 5 of them.

Sorry Canadians and brits maybe thailand is more your thing.......
