Re: OOT - I just had the urge to go to Egypt.
sharm el sheikh is a must if you are going to dive. I was there in 86 with the army. Skip Mt Sinai unless you want to see the Burning Bush (yes, that burning bush) at St Catherines monastery. See if you can hire a cabby by the day-much cheaper and they'll get you to some interesting spots. There was a casino in Cairo(had a dress code-no shorts). Hit the camel market, that was pretty wild. They had a light show at the pyramids at night where they made Sphinx talk at night explaining the valleys history-pretty cool. Cairo museum to check out the King Tut exhibit-that was awesome. Take a cruise on the Nile-not a touristy one, charter a boat at sunset-have them go by Sadats compound. Drink Stella beer just so you can say you did- it comes straight from the camels dick. Enjoy.
