Dives in Hurghada: Hamda and Turft El Shahed

Photo by Karla Brunet/ErranteThis was my first time in the Red Sea and the second in Egypt. On my first day, I went straight diving, the reason to visit Hurghada. My dives here will be with PDL (Professional Diving Leadership) Divers Club, the first day was reserved already from home.

I was very curious to dive in Red Sea, I’ve heard it is supposed to be the best places to dive if you live in Europe.

This is not a story of Cairo, we don’t try to make a minimally comprehensive description of the city. It’s only a short trip around the experiences, feelings and fears that Karla and myself have done on our two-day visit to Cairo.

Day 0

Arriving at an unknown airport in an unknown city at night is always a stressing experience. However in this case the new installations have probably a balsamic effect in our minds, especially if you went from Khartoum in Sudan (and more if you had there the opportunity to watch the “only men” passengers flying to Teheran).
