There are benefits to travel solo, with the most obvious one being the freedom. Yes, you can sleep till noon and no travel buddy is going to complain about you wasting time. However, at least for me, traveling can be more meaningful when you do it...
I always look for good deals. When traveling, I search for free attractions, or free activities. I guess that’s an instinct of any backpacker. Sometimes this drive of finding ways to save money or maximize the value of a trip makes me crazy...

I was all excited to sign up for a trip to see sunrise on Mt.Sinai. It was almost a standard activity for those who come to Dahab for scuba diving and snorkeling. As I don’t really swim….I sort of came to Dahab to catch a ferry to Aqaba...
