One of the most famous
places for fishing all over the world is Lake Nasser. It is approximately 310 miles in length
(1550 square miles) and can reach a depth of 600 feet. Lake
Nasser has arguably the best freshwater fishing in the world for both Nile
perch and Tiger Fish. There are also several species of catfish; the
legendary giant Vonda being the biggest. Two species of Tilapia also
inhabit the lake and give a good account of themselves on a fly rod. There are some thirty two species of fish in the lake.

There are
about 150 kind of resident birds in Egypt.
Egypt is a migration corridor which attracts some 280 additional kind
of birds because it occupies a unique geographical location as a bridge
between the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa and therefore millions
of birds pass through the country on their way from Scandinavia, Eastern
Europe, the Balkans, Siberia and Central Asia to Eastern and Southern
Africa each autumn, and on their way back each spring. Migration begins
in the Winter months. Summer migration begins in early August. |

Mt. Moses, also Mt. Sinai,
is honored by the three great monotheistic religions. The path of Moses,
starts in a gentle slope and gets steep on the last bit where it ends at
the valley of Elijah. The final steep climb leads over rocky steps to
the summit. Just below the summit in a natural hollow in the granite the
imprint of a camel’s foot can be made out. The magnificent view from the
summit is worthwhile the effort of a 3 hour long climb to the top of Mt.
Moses. 3600 steps –skillfully arranged by a monk on penalty - lead to
the gate of Stephanos, where he heard the confessions of the pilgrims
and giving them absolution before letting them pass. The steep way down
leads
to points with extraordinary views, always the smell of herbal plants
and the chirping birds at company. |

Cross shore,
consistent daily thermal wind means you can set off and return easily from
the sandy beach. It is shallow enough to practise beach or water starts or
to feel confident you are not going to stray too far from home. There is
flat water inside the moon shaped bay, with chop in the middle section and
swells outside – up to 4 or 5 feet during the windiest season, providing
plenty of starboard hand ramps to play on. There is heaps of space and
it’s easy to sail further upwind, blast downwind or to take advantage of
the little ‘Hookipa’ Bay. Here the swells wrap round the point to give
small but perfectly positioned ramps. Great for learning jumps with
coaching video feedback! Ideal conditions to let you just get on with your
windsurfing…all day |

Why pay 20
million dollars for a trip into space when you can go to the moon for so
much less? OK, its not really the moon, but the landscape is surreal;
alien in every way, and it changes from one moment to the next. It is the
type of place that creates wonder in adults, where such feelings were long
ago thought lost. It is a land not yet fully explored, with twists and
turns that reveal ever changing landscapes. This is the Bahariya Oasis,
and the nearby, or rather, encroaching western desert. The evenings bring
simple pleasures, including well made meals cooked by the Bedouins on open
fires, songs from shared cultures, a little primitive dancing accompanied
by one real drum, and much handclapping, the
Bedouins sing a traditional song incorporating the events of the day,
which, as the trekkers begin to be caught up in the music, encourages
them to dance. We sleep under the stars which, with not even the glow of
a nearby village, sparkle and shine with the glow that few people will
ever experience. |
