We are trying to make it to the ferry!
Oh my God...
so i guess we don't have a ferry to go back home
Good morning! We have made it to Dahab, Egypt.
It's a small town on the southeast coast of the Sinai peninsula
Dahab though is well known for its natural beauty ,diving spots, kite surfing so
we're going to have a quick breakfast, meet up with Ashraf, who is going to show us around
the entire Dahab area to see some of that beautiful marine life today
he's very happy he's getting out of the door today, because he was told that he
was going to spend the whole day in the office, but now,
he's going to be out and about with us!
this is Dahab city, it's like the old houses
that's amazing in the town in the city area, also it's very nice.
This is a harbor
Dahab is divided into 2 places; Mashraba and Masbat
Mashraba has more hotels and roads for the cars, but
Masbat has only roads for people to walk, and the bazaar and the dive center
Sea dancer, the diving center that we're working with for the snorkeling today,
is right smack dab in the center of Dahab so you should come check them out
and they have very friendly staff, including a lovely gentleman from the UK
This is just for our divers to to get kitted up on the beach here
we have three different dive sites right here
How long have you been living in Egypt?
20 years!
20 years? So all your life!
All my life? Haha! How old do you think I am?
Wow! You're all ready.
I feel like I'm getting ready to go scuba diving but it's snorkeling! So yes of course
Okay let's go, all right!
Oh, oh, i didn't expect you. Hi!
Oh no, don't eat from the garbage!
All right boys, see you later!
Oh you bought a lot of banana!
Yeah because I love it!
Along the way to the blue hall there is a camel walk
if you want to come, you can ride the camels, take pictures on it, do whatever you want on it
Not whatever you want on it, but you get what i'm saying
Okay, hello my friend, we are going to feed you today!
Did you capture that? Damn it!
OK, don't eat my head...
Why don't you eat it(banana)?
I got this one!
Why don't you like me?
oh wow, it ate the whole thing!
Let's go!
I think enough of the camel for you!
What are these?
It's for the blue hole.
Its for the national park.
Welcome to the Blue Hole.
This is the Blue Hole!
Hello!
Hello! Welcome to Blue hole
We made it to the Blue Hole, which is one of the best diving spots in the entire world,
we're going snorkeling, of course.
This area it's called Bedouin Star. This is one (the area) belong to the Bedouin family,
and he's the owner over there. We will walk to the bells. Why do they call it bells?
Because it's like a chimney and when divers go down sometimes they bang
with the tank in the wall.
Is it cold Steve?
Definitely colder than I thought it was going to be. I'm glad we got the wetsuits now.
We are going to snorkeling in the water here, we enjoy sometimes we can make
a little bit of free diving in there.
And we look in the coral and especially in the blue, beautiful coral, the soft corals,
and then we go.
I love here, a lot of nice fish, corals, many different fish like a needle fish.
Now we are in high tide and
all the fish is on the top of the reef and they're beautiful. And then we go
all the way to Blue Hole. Why they call it this? Because its a hole
and its blue (and its blue!) (laughter)
and have a free diving, we're going to look at the free diving how they learn and
how they practice to go to 70 meters, okay?
Okay, awesome thank you so much!
So, we kind of spared you the part of walking up here after swimming
and snorkeling in the Blue Hole, but (whoo) a little bit of hike, but
the scenic look out here is amazing. I can't really believe that this is Egypt.. wow
Swimming around here it's like a Xisneyland for scuba divers I would say. And having been
beauty around, is probably better here honestly, because unfortunately in Maldives
they kind of harmed the coral area. It's just so beautiful and i'm so glad we made it here.
So we're going to Ras Abu Ghalab (Galum), I believe. I'm sure Ashraf will uh
tell us the proper name. Before i slip I'm just going to say we're hopping on a speedboat,
because apparently there's dolphins over there now.
Wait for maybe these people are coming with us.
I wish luck to see the dolphins! (laughter)
Maybe we will be lucky. (I hope so).
For me i saw a lot of shark, a lot of manta, but dolphin?
This is my... like every time i see dolphin, like it makes my day.
Dolphins? (Yes!) Yes? Yes! Whoooo!
You have to be quiet, becuase otherwise they go down.
Ahh! Ohh... its 3... 4!
Oh!
I can't believe how lucky we got today and thanks to this man who made that happen,
amazing experience! We're going to snorkel once more and we're so much looking forward to it
Ras Abu Galum?
Yes, this is Dahab in the 1990 when i came
That's amazing thank you so much for taking us here! (Welcome, no problem)
Okay so this is a traditional way to do it, i'll do it!
You jump outside like a pick up. (okay)
All right then, we drive five minutes, no more than five minutes and then we snorkeling.
I kind of regret now only booking three days here to be honest.
That was incredible!
That was so amazing!
(Laughter) Blue lagoon! (Wow!) We're at Blue Lagoon!
Welcome to Blue Lagoon! Hi, hello, you're here to welcome us how are you doing? Oh my god, you're so cute.
... like a pizza and then they cover with the ash and then they put the coil on top
and keep it for 20 minutes like that.
It's called ash bread? (Yes we call it like that) Is it like a pita bread?
Yeah, like pita bread. Bedouin people they don't have a stove like a metal or something before they only travel
with a camel and have the flower with them but now so many they cook different food like us.
How's the pizza?
It's very good, by the way welcome to Saudi Arabia! (That close?) That close.
I don't know how i attract dogs all the time. They just come right up to me. (laughing)
(psst psst psst psst)
This whole day has been incredible, between dolphins blue lagoon blue
hole, like everything has just been so naturally beautiful and beyond
any expectations I had of egypt at all. So we're gonna hop back onto this truck
right now and get back to the boat so we can make it back to Dahab for the evening
We're trying to make it to the ferry... whooo!
We need to push it!
(old friends catching up)
We're taking a break for what?
To say hello! (old friends)
We just came to say hello!
(laughing) Oh my god!
(Ashraf yelling for boat to return)
So I guess uh, we don't have a ferry to go back on...
Because the last boat left us, this means we stay here and he have to come back again. (mmhmm)
I told him I will pay him on the way back. (okay). The most important, we are (going) back.
I guess this speed boat is going to be our boat now, and the last ferry just left without us,
but uh, thankfully Ashraf has a solution to get us back to the mainland of the Dahab.
Thankfully, oh my god!
Are you putting benzin (gas) in?
And we're off.
Thankfully we're off, heading back to Dahab.
Thankfully we didn't get on that boat because it is jam-packed much better to be on our own boat thankfully.
Yes, 22 people! (Wow!)
Thank you, (sukran), (sukran), sukran, sukran
Thankfully Ashraf got us back to dahab to check out the town center at night,
but we're gonna call it early and get some much-needed rest because tomorrow might even
be a bigger adventure. So don't forget to subscribe and we'll see you in the morning.
You all right?
I'm too old for this (laughter)
Okay Saleh, I'm gonna tell all my Turkish people to come find you. (I hope!)
Look at how incredible this is! I can't believe this is real, I can't believe you're here!
