Egypt photo diary.


Home from a phenomenal week staying in Taba Heights Egypt. Our hotel of choice, the Hyatt Regency was set in beautiful gardens with various pools, freshwater lagoon and boasting some of the finest snorkelling in the Red Sea. The stay far exceeded any expectations with the perfect dose of winter sun, stunning service and relaxation. ( I was pretty horrified to hear of the shark attacks the very same week, over in Naama bay, making me even more fortunate for my trip.)
The sea life, and beautiful coral reef can only be described as breathtaking. I guess it was like seeing an element of Alexander McQueens Plato's Atlantis collection in raw form, with colour combinations and patterns setting my mind running in creative overdrive...


Instead of overdosing on holiday posts I hope you enjoy the photo diary from sunrise to evening, and some of my favourite fish shots. Seriously difficult to trim this post down..... after seeing over 70 species of fish including puffers, white moray eels, angels, butterfly, wrasse...amazing. Katie.xx
(dont worry heaps of fashion, outfits and inspiration on the way!)

  4. hey duckalicious- snorkelling is so amazing isnt it- I bought a vivitar 8.1 million megapixel. ( pretty inexpensive) Easy to use, just requires a steadyyyyy hand..kind of tough in the waves!!! No zoom facility but pretty good and pleased i did to capture the beauties...I have so so so many photos!!!!xx where have you been snorkelling?xx

  10. Funny when I was reading it I was thinking about the shark attacks. Glad you weren't in that area. Gorgeous photos. I would love to go to Egypt someday though I would want to go to Giza to see the pyramids and such, but still wow just gorgeous. I didn't realize they had such good snorkeling over there those Lionfish are amazing.

  34. It looks like you had an amazing time over there! I've never really thought about going to Egypt for a relaxing holiday but after seeing these photos, I'm definitely contemplating it. And the fish look so pretty! But I'm kind of scared of snorkelling a little bit so don't know how well that would go down haha.
