Dahab Salesperson
This is me trying to fend off one of Egypt’s finest. Street urchins were everywhere. They wanted to sell me struff all the time. They sold trinkets. Their prices were great. Their sales pitches were well-honed. But, after buying a few dozen of their finest items, I really didn’t need any more.
Dahab Hotel Breakfast
Look! Eggs. Real eggs. No, the price of the room ($8 for two) did not include breakfast. That was an extra $2.
