You said "were on the western side" Did the waters dry up and then there was the Suez Canal or is the Seuz Canal the same waters? It would be nice to see a picture of the western side.

The Egyptians did finally make it accross - in '73. But the result was almost like what happend back in Mose's time, except they didn't drown. The waters where the coral reefs are located are very beautiful, however. It's a shame that terrorism is spoiling an area that the Egytian government has tried to turn into a major tourist attraction. But that's another matter.
