Definitely the lowlight of the trip was crossing the Sinai Peninsular from Cairo on the way to Jordan. After an 11-hours train ride from Luxor, we were transferred on to a bus ride which took us another 9 hours before reaching Nuweiba Village on the coast of Gulf of Aqaba.The bus journey took us through the Suez Canal and passing thorough the deserted plain of historic Sinai. There's hardly anyone living here, Sinai was captured by Israel in 1973 war and was only handed back in 1982. There are still a lot of security check points along the way where security personnel repeatedly board the bus to check on passengers. This photo was taken midway in Sinai in our only stop!
