Along the coast of the Sinai Peninsula

We crossed the Gulf of Suez and are traveling along the coast of the Sinai Peninsula. El Tur was our first anchorage on this side of the Red Sea. While at El Tur I was swimming in the harbor when I heard some noises underwater. When I stopped to look around I saw several dolphins swimming by - that made for a great afternoon.
As with much of the land along the Red Sea, the coast here is very dry and desolate though rather majestic. Quite a change from the tropics I have lived in for most of the past 7 years.
