    Were you able to travel to Dahab? and if so what did you do there?

    As an Egyptian woman I’m very happy to see a fellow woman enjoy her time there. It is not an easy destination but your tips are spot-on, well done. One note about the Egyptian Museum: It will stay operational even when the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM, the new one which you mention) opens. The one you visited has recently been renamed as the Egyptian Museum of Cairo (EMC). It is being refurbished in various phases currently so as not to disrupt its operation. When you do make it back, be sure to check out Siwa, Dahab (as the previous poster mentioned), Luxor and Aswan, and all the sites in between (do a cruise–not those super commercial ones, go for a Dahabeya), Fayoum (check out the Valley of the Whales–stunning!) and St. Catherine’s monastery in Sinai. Since you like scuba diving, don’t forget the protectorates of Ras Mohammed and Tiran.
