Pictures and stories of a trip through Egypt

I flew to İstanbul and bought a cheap air ticket on to Cairo from there. I traveled around Egypt for about three weeks: Cairo and the vicinity, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, Aswan and Abu Simbel, and then the Sinai peninsula where I climbed Mount Sinai and hung out in Dahab for a while. I then returned to İstanbul overland via Jordan and Syria. These pages have pictures of the Egyptian part of the trip.

The trip was in the order listed above, follow that order or jump to a topic.
