Now I am going to talk about my travels during last 2 years which I would like to describe in detail. After taking my final exam at the Czech university of life sciences I decided to go to Egypt for the third time. I went there in March 2010 and bought a 2 weeks trip from a travel agency, however I decided not to stay in Egypt all the time and I went to explore its neighbor countries.

This time I chose to spend my holidays in Egypt in Nuweiba which is around 65 km far away from Taba border with Israel. I took a flight late at night and arrived to Taba very early in the morning. Then we had to take a bus to Nuweiba and the travel took around one hour. It was around 8am when we got there. It was sunny and warm and I initially hesitated whether I should go to swim or to sleep, but I was tired so I slept till afternoon.

The weather in Egypt was warm, around 27°C. I stayed in the hotel called Helnan Nuweiba which was quite empty at the time. The hotel has its private beach where I was snorkeling. The sea was nice, there were coral reefs and fishes, but it can't be compared with Sharm El Sheikh. I paid for the half board and I used to go to the restaurant in the morning and evening where we could take as much as we wanted from the buffet. The food was tasty, but I usually enjoy overeating so I took so much food that I couldn't even finish it.

I arrived to Egypt on Monday 10th March and I knew quite soon that I didn't want to stay there because I had been there twice before and Nuweiba doesn't offer many opportunities to have fun. I left Egypt on Tuesday afternoon when I took a taxi to the Israeli border and then another one to the Jordanian border. I had already found couchsurfers to stay with before leaving Prague, however I didn't expect to stay in Egypt such a short time. My delegate didn't really appreciate the idea that I would go travelling alone to other countries, but I was adamant so she had to deal with it. 

I crossed both borders very quickly. An Israeli customs officer was questioning me where I was going to and who I would stay with, but she let me go after a few minutes. Nobody asked me anything in the Jordanian border, I just paid for the visa and I waited for my host who was originally from Petra, but had also another flat in Aqaba. We stayed one night in Aqaba and the following day we swam in the Red sea and visited the city and then we travelled to Wadi Rum.
