We took a private minibus.......It broke down at Suez and we had trouble being allowed on the bus when it passed by hours later. The whole trip was in the dark. The bus was freezing and played that constant Arab film (loud). The return journey on a different minibus was through the day. The driver seemed to be falling asleep and we had to force him to stop for a rest. It seems to me to be very dangerous and wastes 2 days freediving. Take the plane to Sharm! Forget the Camel trip to Abu Gollum, its better to fin swim along the coast, just past the Blue Hole headland you get to the sweeping bay of the next beach, the reef is virtually continuos and unspoilt, 100 times better than the dead reef at the blue hole. Damn, I want to get wet again.......
