The Sinai Desert and the Red Sea

After climbing Mount Sinai, we stayed at Dahab. From there we took a jeep safari in the desert, climbed canyons, and ate with the Bedouin in the desert. The next night we camped by the Red Sea in the Ras Mohammed National Park, where we went snorkelling and saw an amazing variety of coral and tropical fish.
