Luxor4u

Been to Hurghada and the journey there and back was very interesting, the desert was still flooded in parts due to the recent storms, the roads undermined in places. It was quite obvious in parts where the water had poured off the mountains, must have been a quite spectacular sight but not one that I would have liked to be in the middle of.

We had the same experience Carrie. Went down for a week and got back last Saturday. Some quite big temporary lakes still there on the way back.

Good to hear the road is passable.....I may be using it myself shortly.

Sounds as if the the concrete flood barriers in the gullies either side have done their job....well...at least better than those protecting the Hurghada-Cairo road.
