jacob's visit: sinai and cairo

Jacob is visiting us, so we've been doing extra touristy stuff. He likes photography. He took some of these pictures with our camera. He chose these pictures.

First Mt. Sinai. We were staying on the beach in Dahab, drove to the base of the mountain, starting hiking in the very wee hours and reached the top before first light, along with many many others, secular and religious pilgrims alike.













Typical beach cafe in Dahab, with good snorkeling right from the tiny cafe dock.

Roadside cafe on the drive across the desert back to Cairo.



Sunset over the driver's shoulder. Assistant driver luckily was driving.

Sunset falucca (sailboat) ride on the Nile in Cairo.



Pyramids.
