Safaga is, truth be told, not the most beautiful town in the world, but just above this port in Egypt, on the Red Sea, early one morning we could see the full moon setting over the barren hills. We were on the Clipper Odyssey, rechristened recently the ‘Silver Discoverer’ after its purchase by the Silver Seas line and this picture was taken from the deck. Interestingly, just behind me the sun was rising and was in the same distance from the eastern horizon as the moon was from the western.
