A chat with a police corporal

Posted on 26/10/201013/02/2021 By 3arabawy

An Upper Egyptian police corporal who hitchhiked a ride:

I’ve been posted for nine years here in Marsa Alam. Not a single murder case. Not much work in general. I like it here, although I’m away from my family and the drinking water is undrinkable. You don’t do much work, don’t have vendettas, don’t have shootings, don’t have security directors you have to salute day and night. Above all that, you get to see naked beautiful women. Why should I ask for a transfer? I hope they keep me here forever.

Ababda Cemetery

Once you cross Quseir, heading south by the Red Sea coast, the above scene becomes familiar and repetitive: A sandy hill, with flags and hastily made markings. Those are Ababda cemeteries. No fancy cenotaphs, no built structures nor domes. Just a hole in the ground, with some basic marking on top.

The picture, below, was taken in Tondoba Bay.
