Dahab

We finally arrived safely in Dahab last night after about 24 hours of traveling and it is beautiful here. We flew into Cairo and got a taxi for the 5 1/2 hour journey to Dahab... the entire trip here was just us on a road in what seemed like the middle of nowhere. As far as you could see was sand and mountians and a few clumps of palm trees here and there. 100's of different shades of brown, it is amazing. We passed a camel and her baby walking along the road, it was pretty cool. The closer we got to the sea the more mountians there were and we ended up driving through them and I mean through them just weaving in and out of these massive mountians. It felt almost un real like something you would see on tv where they pan out from the car driving through the desert and there is nothing else around except that little car and the different shades of brown. The town of Dahab is mostly a long strip going right along with the Red Sea and is lined with little shops and cafes on the beach with piles and piles of pillows. If you are facing the water you can turn 1/2 way around and not far from the town is a massive strip of mountians.
We just spent the morning walking around and found a place we can rent tanks from and plan on going for a dive this afternoon, there is a dive site we can swim to... There were divers everywhere along the main walkway getting their gear together this morning. Most of the dive sites are along the coast so instead of a boat taking you to the dives sites and jeep or camel takes you.
We are already trying to ask around about an apartment and seems like it will be really easy to find a place with everything we need and close to town. I think it will be fairly cheap as well, I just bought a 20oz bottle of water for .20 cents!! Well, think we are going to go find a good spot along the sea, play some cards and get some food. Hope everyone is well.
