G’day all, hoping this post finds you well. Today I continue on through my experiences in March last year in Egypt as part of the ‘Dhaka to Dakar’ adventure I underwent. Today I will cover one day basically in Luxor, and the next time I will cover my nearly disastrous tour of Luxor’s West Bank …
Howdy all. Today’s review sees me talk about a place I only stayed one night, close to the King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah. I had an early morning flight and I didn’t want to have to negotiate my way to the airport at 5am in the morning to catch my onward flight to Cairo, so …

Howdy all. Today a little post for you about buying a ticket and catching the train in Egypt. I took the day train when I was there from Cairo to Luxor. I was planning on taking the train back as well but I opted to fly when I found out the prices for flights were …

Howdy all! Today I am continuing on right from yesterday’s post about my time in Cairo. Yesterday’s post recounted my experiences visiting the pyramids at Giza and Dahshur, but my second full day in Cairo had me nutting out some of the sights there. Well, in all fairness it was just a handful of sights. …

Howdy all, the retelling of my ‘Dhaka to Dakar’ adventure continues today and I pick up where I left off last week, in Cairo, Egypt where I had just arrived. Of all the reasons I had given myself to return to Egypt the biggest one was to visit the Pyramids again, which I had visited …
Howdy all. Last year I was steadily taking you through the experiences of the adventure that was ‘Dhaka to Dakar’ for me in the first half of 2023. But I only made it to just under halfway through the adventure before December hit!! Now it is time to resume and recount the experiences as I …
G’day Folks, and with today’s ‘Accommodation Review’ I am taking you to the Egyptian capital of Cairo where I stayed at a place called the ‘El Otel’. Did I think it was a hotel when I booked it? Yes. It is in fact a… well not sure of the perfect word but I think ‘hotel’ …

G’day all. Today I wrap up my Saudi series with a dip in the Red Sea that divides Egypt from Saudi Arabia. Snorkelling and diving is a popular activity for those visiting Egypt’s Red Sea Coast, but it is perfectly possible to do the activity from the other side, as I did. The company I …

G’day all. Hope today’s post finds you well. Last week I took you to the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh as my introduction to the country. From there it was a long day bus to Jeddah, perhaps the most open (in the past at least) of Saudi Arabia’s cities. Sitting in a great location on …
