Winter holiday in Egypt
— The first time we visited Egypt, we discovered the extraordinary beauty of the Red Sea.”

Our first of two trips to Egypt, this week away was a double header with Florence during the Christmas and New Year holiday period 2005-6.
This first time was all about getting some R&R and doing plenty of snorkelling. You can find out a bit more about Sharm and Naama Bay from our second trip to Egypt the following winter, when we did some of the historical visits including Cairo and Giza and Luxor.
In the meantime here’s a bit of camera footage, from a time when I was glued to my camcorder!
