I drove most of the time or at least a long part of the way. I reached 120 km/hour on the highway yet mostly was on 105 km/hour or below. I really enjoyed the drive. Gave me more experience too. I highway had very low traffic. We left Cairo before 6 AM and returned before noon.
On our way from Cairo, we checked the tire pressure. Was a nice experience since we did it ourselves at the gas station because the guy responsible for it at the station was not present yet at that early time in the morning.
Although we stayed just under an hour at Sukhna, yet we have managed to accomplish the main goals of the trips which were:
- To increase the car millage towards the first 1000 km in order to make the mandatory maintenance for the first 1000 km of the new car.
- For me to have extra practice on driving by driving on highways.
- To enjoy, if just briefly, the atmosphere and scenery at Ain El Sokhna.
Upon arriving to Sokhna, we went to Porto Sokhna which my friend and his cousin (we lives in Canada and was on a trip to Egypt) have marveled at. I did reckon the lush hotel but I actually aimed at something more simple and local. Anyway, we found the restaurants (Chili's and the others) all closed and were told they open up at noon. We stayed for a while then moved on to some sea food restaurant not far from Porto Sokhna which again was closed and we were told it also opens up at noon. We sat for a short while in front of the beach which was really nice, though slightly hot. We then headed back to Cairo because my friend had things to do back there and so had to return early. Was quite a nice experience.
