Taba Heights Snorkeling and Abandoned Villa of Sheraton Sharm El Sheikh

By Victor and Irina

Autumn in Egypt is the same way colorful, as European, but we definitely prefer the one in Egypt. What a sea color, even the sand is bright, and what a variety of colors under the sea! :-)

October-November might be the best time to visit Egypt for snorkeling and excursions. It is not so hot in Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Taba Heights or Sharm El Sheikh, however the sea is still soft and warm.

For a start we decided to open up a new tourism region for us and traveled to Taba Heights. This is the best place for excursions to Jordanian Petra and Israel. To the border with Israel is only 20-30 km, ferry to Jordan is only 40 minutes and we were not going deny themselves in this pleasure.

Dancing With Manta Rays

I can say for shure that the meeting with manta rays was the ultimate gool of my travel to the Maldives. It was the real Miracle, that I was waiting so long.

Manta ray. Vilamendhoo Island. The Maldives.

First time when I have visited Moscow Zoological Museum many years ago I saw the incredible, giant, it’s safe to say alien animal under the ceiling of the Sea Hall. It was the giant manta ray. Then I have been there with my first son, afterward with the second one and every time was marvelling at this wander of nature.
