Egypt

Day 0 (Wednesday 3 Jan): Istanbul - Sharm El Sheikh
Visited the local town of Neama Bay for dinner.

Day 1 (Thursday 4 Jan): Sharm El Sheikh - Cairo
Diving in the Red Sea, off the coast of Sharm El Sheikh. A short rest before a 2am departure by bus from Sharm El Sheik to Cairo, passing under the Suez Canal Tunnel

Day 2 (Friday 5 Jan): Cairo - Sharm El Sheikh
Arrived in Cairo at 8am, visited the Cairo Museum, then onto Giza where we visited one of the 7 wonders of the world, The Great Pyramid of Giza and The Great Sphinx. Visited some local shopping bazaars and art galleries. Departed Cairo 8pm.

Day 3 (Saturday 6 Jan): Sharm El Sheikh
Arrived Sharm El Sheikh 2am. Visited the local beaches and just relaxed. A 9:30 departure from the hotel. Fortunately we arrived at the airport 3 hours before departure time (11:45pm) to compensate for the incompetence of the local inhabitants. Actual departure time approx. 12:45pm, arrived Istanbul 3:30am.
