My penultimate day in Egypt was spent off the coast of Hurghada, a popular beach getaway on the Red Sea for Eastern European tourists. After sleeping in until about 8:00 AM, we checked out of our hotel and hopped on a private boat that took us about a half hour to forty five minutes to our swimming stop. The water was crystal clear & there was a flock of birds that joined our boat on our journey.
We went snorkeling & saw beautiful fish and coral. It amazed me how easy it was to see everything as soon as you put your face below the water. I even jumped off the side of our boat – it was only about 10 feet, but was definitely the highest I’ve ever jumped before!
After a few hours we headed back to the hotel where we were able to shower before hitting the road to head back to Cairo. The drive was a long one, so we sat back, relaxed & enjoyed the beautiful desert scenery.
We stopped at a rest stop that had a "White Castle" (one of my favorite American fast food restaurants), so I ate there even though I knew it was a knock off!
Upon arrival at our hotel in Cairo, we had one final group dinner before saying goodbye to most of our group. The tour was officially over, but I still had one more day in Egypt and a visit to Alexandria!
