Comments COVID made everything travel related a bit more complicated than normal, but it all worked out. We started our trip with a few days in Cairo, the pyramids, the Sphinx, the usual tourist sites, but without the tourists.

We ended up on the Neo, apparently the Aggressor III's paint was still drying. A spacious boat with lots of common areas and a very attentive crew.

The food was good and plentiful. After diving there were both local beer and wine available, both tasty.

Because of COVID we had most of the dive sits to ourselves, only twice did we share a site with another boat.

The only downside was the water temperature, 72 degrees with 20 to 30 knot winds made for a chilly dive. The hot towels at the end of the dives were welcomed.

After the diving we took a sail up the Nile to Aswan, all told an excellent vacation.
