Four Nights In Dahab

I took a little trip down to Dahab, a kind of divers' resort on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. Spent three days snorkeling and chilling out with a new friend from Bethlehem. I stayed in a $10 hotel room and ate $20 meals at swanky sea-side restaurants. It was quite delightful, right up until our four-hour search and interrogation at the Israeli border. Here's a tip: if you ever have to deal with Israeli Immigration officials, make sure you get your story straight.


I've got two weeks left in Israel. I'm heading up to Nazareth tomorrow, and on Thursday I'll begin hiking the Jesus Trail. Is my leg up to it? I think so.

  1. Two questions: Did the man eating sharks make it to Dahab? And did the food make you want to vomit? (Kathryn and I recently spent some time there).

  2. I didn't see any sharks in Dahab, sadly. But the food was very nice.
