The good, the bad, and the ugly: the Egyptian metropoles

The road from Hurghada to Gizeh leads North along the Red Sea coast, before swerving West to cross the desert again. We had been warned by the Aussies, who had passed on this road the day before, to prepare for…

We had some troubles leaving Aswan as early as planned, as the gas station Abdullah had told us to go to had ran out of petrol. We found another one, closer to the city, but it took us some while…
