Long flight today as I am about to leave Egypt and head to the Arabic Peninsula. First stop is Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
After departing Aswan I first headed south towards Abu Simbel to see the wonderful temple that is in that city, then turned towards East and Red Sea coast. Before reaching the Red Sea, I overflew Elba National park and admired the interesting desert landscape. I even saw something that looked like a meteor or volcanic crater, but couldn't find it's name on the internet. After almost an hour over the Red Sea I landed a Jeddah, but didn't get to see to much due to the scenery and texture resolution. Still I was impressed with the size of the city and airport.
