Re: OOT - I just had the urge to go to Egypt.

[ QUOTE ] I would go to Sharm El Sheikh. Supposed to be gorgeous that time of year. Is March really impulse? fyc [/ QUOTE ] I hear the coral reefs at Sharm are bleaching out and dying horribly, partly due to the resorts pumping cement into the sea to extend out. Ugh. [/ QUOTE ] This is true. I did a lot of Red Sea diving in 1994-95 and every dive site was stunning. I went back in 98, 2000, and 2002 and it was discernably worse every time I went because of all the dredging that was done to build more resorts. There are still some pretty good areas, though. Ras Mohammed is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen. |
