Off the Map

On their way to Luxor their cross the 'no man's land', where few tourists venture? Much like Ran in 1969, they have a ferry to catch across the Nile. In Luxor they learn the ancient martial art called Tahtib. On their way south Ran has another test for Joe - a race across the Eastern Desert to the Red Sea.
