After a night on a Resthouses parking lot we head up to Suez Channel. We skip the tunnel and take a 100 km extra to take the ferry. For ship lovers that we are this is a real highlight. Loads of huge vessels from everywhere in the world\u00a0forming up to endless convois to pass that narrow channel. In fact it is not really\u00a0wider than the river of Main! Our moments of joy are very short, the channel access is very limited and army protected like Fort Knox. We cross the channel on our tiny ferry inbetween the large seaships and then, yeah then the africacruisers eventually ended up in where they belong. Hello Africa!<\/p>\n<p>Further up to Cairo. A huge and incredibly dirty city. Rivers filled with breathtaking garbage-smells and people living right in the middle of it. But its also a pleasant metropole on the Nile with thousands of\u00a0years of history and the last remaining\u00a0 antique world wonder. We had never been to Egypt before and of course we had to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx in Gizeh. And they are impressing!\u00a0An amazing thought\u00a0that travellers and adventurers not only of the past centuries but of the last fourthousand years were attracted by them and stood on the same spots\u00a0as we did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Western Sinai Coast is not very inviting, lots of industry, oil platforms, very few tourism and medium friendly people.
