After our touring, we joined a transport to Hurgada, our next destination. We joined an armored convoy with at least 20 large buses and several vans. The drivers played leap frog until they got to the first police escort. We were never told what problems happened in the desert in the past on that road, but we had 8 armed guards traveling with us for the trip. The rest stop was quite a scene while they guarded us as we took a break. Good thing Cindy slept for most of the trip. Seeing the driving was very scary and at some points, the entire convoy would pass one car on the road that was going too slow for them. It seemed the only speed the drivers knew was “Full speed ahead!” Finally, at the Red Sea for relaxation.
