Nothing like waking up to a desert sunrise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We got our wake-up call at 4:00 in the morning, but we were already slightly awake this time. We had mostly packed the night before, but we still had to put the finishing touches on. We met Ashraf just in time, left our tip for the wait staff, and said goodbye to the beautiful boat. Ashraf grabbed Sarah\u2019s bag, which earned him some angry words from a porter (he went back and, we assume, tipped him to be polite).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We slept in the car on the way for about an hour and a half before stopping at a pit stop. We awoke to exactly what you\u2019d picture for the Egyptian desert. There was nothing except power lines and sand as far as we could see. It was awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
