Wadi Degla Hiking trip


So, yes i had time to take a break, it was a nice one, missed the family really : )
FeshFesh, Fady and Auk managed to joined and it was really nice having them in the hike...
The Hike was for a total 15KM in the bottom of the Degla river... this site is amazing, it has been there for possibly million of years.
Here is the hike map.

Its full of sea fossils that have been here for millions of years, sea shells and petrified wood.

We started the hike at like 5 PM at K0, we had to walk for like 13KM till 10 pm night, when we camped at the end of the river bed, at the very end where the river just became very narrow, only fit one person at a time. this was the waterfall that feed the river bed. It turns out that the bed was fed by a larger river through this crack in the bed creating the water fall.
let the picture talk ....

We camped at night there and made dinner, nothing fancy grilled burger and sausages.. but it was better than anything you can order....




We just slept only using sleeping bags and the nice thig that it rained!!! yes its June in Cairo and it rained..... not to mention the nagging foxes running around.. it was a horrible night for me... for FeshFeshAuk and Fady they where like dead......
to be continued... : )
