Searching for Waves and the Meaning of Life in Egypt!

Guy's winter travels and coaching holidays took them back in time to Egypt, travelling around the Sinai and Cairo, then south in search of waves. This month their testament is on Dahab and Moon Beach, but stay tuned next month for a full windsurfing guide to the Red Sea and their discovery of wave sailing further south. 

North East Egypt
The Sinai Peninsula.

The Sinai Desert and Peninsula is never shrouded in clouds but always in mystery. As the birth place of Islam, Judism and Christianity it’s arguably mankind’s most significant and thought-provoking neighborhood. Yet flying over it on a charter flight from green Britain, it appears to be as unappealing as the persistent sand it seems.

It's callidescope of brown hills creates a deadly maze, which would swallow any human's life shortly after it got their mind, hence unless you followed the crowd, you would die alone in the hills. A couple of thousand years ago, Moses climbed Mount Sinai alone and spoke with God sparking the world’s biggest craze; religion.

Was it the harsh existence in the desert that created judgemental philosophies?

Whilst in the jungles and tropics where life was easy, passive ideals were followed?

Either way, I can't help thinking what the world would be like today if Moses had walked to the beach instead, and found the turquoise waters of Dahab or Moon Beach, rigged up and forgot about all his troubles out windsurfing. 

But despite regular winds and the ancient Egyptians creativity, windsurfing wasn't seen on the Red Sea until recently, yet is already the European's most popular windsurfing pilgrimage.
