Mohab in the Red Sea

SHARM EL SHEIKH xxxxIt was heat like I'd never felt anywhere on the earth.xx Usually in a hot bus that had no air conditioning, you would open the windows for a breeze.xxOn the bus ride to Sharm el Sheikh, the open windows gave a blast of hot air like that from an oven.xx Everyone closed the windows and endured as best as possible.

Sharm El Sheikh was a major tourist trap with no cheap places like Dahab. xx But, it was one of the premiere places on earth for snorkeling. xxI was really excited about going, and it was great. xxIn the waters around Ras Muhammed were more fish and more colors than I'd ever seen anywhere else snorkeling. xxWhat a contract from the barren dead landscape!

We also went to a second place called Ras Umm Said to continue the snorkeling.xxThe fish here were good, but the coral was amazing in white, orange, pink, purple, and blue.
