Sinai - Egypt

Middle East-Egypt in Asia-Sinai Here in the centre you see St.Catherine's Monastery . It is well worth the visit and a World Heritage Site. Wished I could have spend more time for this visit , but the bus had to get back . 

Interesting to see that even though this card was posted in Dahab in Sinai, it has a Cairo postmark. 

Middle East-Egypt in Asia-Dahab  Stopped here on the way back to Sharm El Sheikh for Lunch, over looking the sea. I  just remember nearly getting into trouble for taking a photo of the local Post Office.. Happened to me three times this year.. Better be more careful. 

The Post offices had all the same stamps on sale.. No choice.

Luckily I had brought some stamps with me , that were purchased in shops in Sharm El Sheikh. The Post office was closed for no apparent reason. So this card went in the mail box outside the post office. 

Africa-Egypt-Luxor This is a fantastic place to visit and should be on everyones list of must dooooos.. lol.. This postcard does not do it justice. The condition of the area is pretty amazing bearing in mind how old it is. A World Heritage Site. 

Middle East-Egypt in Asia-Sharm el Sheikh  Back to regular postcards again. I have and still am very busy with work so still have much catching up to do. Sinai was off limits for Irish tourists as far as a our government was concerned when I visited. But as you all know that would not put me off. This was a holiday in the pure sense of the word. Relaxing and just enjoying the sun. So great to do that. Sharm el Shikh is not full of charm and one does not come here to see the sights. Still the pools were nice as was the food. Did manage to see those wonderful fish in the sea here. 

I had a significant row with the taxi driver who did not know where the Post office was. He said he did but he did not.. Post offices are not exactly on everyone's list of places to visit, but they are certainly in my case. Found the Post office, but no selection of stamps . I was surprised as this is a major tourist area. I guess most tourists mail their cards from the Hotels.

Egypt in Asia -Sinai

Arrived in Sharm el Sheikh.  Visited St.Catherine's Monastry which is a World Heritage Site. Unfortunately the was not permitted to take photos in the Cathedral or the wonderful icons in the museum. Here is the Post Office in Dahab which is on the coast. There is little choice in stamps but the  staff were very friendly and helpful. Spent most of the time relaxing at a beach resort in Sharm el Sheikh were there is excellent diving with the reef fish with great visibility.
