Hurghada/Egypt

The beautiful red sea with a backdrop of hotel ruins in Hurghada/Egypt. Before the revolution lots of houses and hotels were built, because tourism was blooming and economy was rising. After the revolution, no one had money any more and it was and still is hard to get materials, so now there are lots of ruins, half built houses standing around. At least that's what some Egyptians told us, but others debated differently. I think they didn't want tourists to know the whole truth, we were to just enjoy the beautiful sides of the country - of which there are lots!
