This afternoon we sailed by day to Sharm, passing thorough the Gulf of Aqaba where you could see JOrdan, Israel, Egypt and Saudi ARabia coastlines all surrounding the gulf. We passed through the straight of Tiran, which I stayed up late for and then went driectly to bed. Still tired from the Petra hike.
Sharm was a very busy place and too much ourists. We took a great boat out to do some amaing ssnorkeling. The water in the Red Sea is beautiful and caribbean like. This might have been the best snorkeling I have ever seen. And it was crowded so I thought it would be terrible but it wasn't.
Then we spent the afternoon wandering around the OLd City and Namba Bay of Sharm. Not my style. Its the weeknd though. FRidays are the Muslim Saturday and Saturdays are sort of like a half get back to work day. Very confusing.
Tonight we went to a Bedoiun camp for dinner. It was a 45 minute ride out in to the middle of the dessert where we sat under goat hair tents on big pillows and carpets eating grilled meat and such. Was very interesting, but not much to describe other than the remoteness and the Bedoiun men playing music and baking bread over an open fire, sort of like making crepes. Thin pita like bread.
