Halfway between Luxor and Hurghada, on the Red Sea.  All good.

No stinking tour bus, no cramped van.  In Abdoul’s car with the fresh oil change and the compressed air cleaned interior.  Abdoul’s nephew is driving.

Lots of police checkpoints.  One police man wanted to ride with us to Hughirda.  He was told “No room”, though the back seat is empty.  Have not checked my ID.

Have finally figured another other photo posting solution.  Use phone, smaller image sizes, vs 25 mb from camera.
