Sewers at Dahab, South Sinai, Egypt

A great spot for Bird watching.
Easy to find and easy access. No fence or people guarding it.
That was in 2010 - most likely it is still like that up to this day.

  4. The first shot looks like water that you could walk on. The bird shots are great but I'm also entranced by the water, sand and plants.
