I thought it was about time to show you some pictures from when I went to Ras Mohammed National Park, about a week before I flew back home from Egypt, in August. Ras Mohammed National Park is located at the very south tip of Sinai and it took us about two hours to drive there from Dahab. We left early in the morning and when we arrived we started our day by walking up to a view point before we went back to the car to get ready for the water. The first cave that we entered was just in the beginning. We did a duck dive in a small opening and swam down not much more than 5 m before we swam horizontally under the rocks and then up to the surface again. I really liked the idea of swimming in caves. Unfortunately the others in the group were all sick somehow and couldn’t dive due to problems equalizing which led to that we couldn’t stay very long swimming trough the caves. Nevertheless I still enjoyed it. After a while we got to a beach where our driver had prepared some snacks and water for us, before we went in the water for a second session. We swam around some islands to look at the cargo from a wreck, consisting of old toilets and bathtubs, and then headed back to the beach again. On our way back home we stopped in Sharm el Sheik to eat dinner at a pizza restaurant. We all were super hungry after a long day and we later arrived in Dahab around 7 pm if I remember it correctly.
