Hurghada Relaxation

We left ancient Egypt and the Nile behind today. Traveling eastwards, we set our sights on the Red Sea beach resort of Hurghada where we'd be spending the next two nights at an all inclusive (but it's not quite like the all inclusives that one would find in Mexico or the Caribbean). The green fertile lands by the Nile became barren desert and rocks before waters glistened again in front of us.

Our hotel is part of a set of properties, Empire Hotel. They have a property by the beach that we can access, but our building is otherwise a few minutes further inland. The neighborhood is really quiet, perhaps out of season as it's not so hot that visitors are flocking here. Dinner and breakfast is a buffet affair but nothing too exciting, drinks aren't even included. Nevertheless we were excited to be on the water the next day and snorkelling.Read more
