Egypt

Just back from two weeks in Egypt. We went there training so didn’t really get to do the touristy thing. We did go to see the pyramids and the museum. It was amazing, would love to have gotten to see more, maybe another time??

I have Egyptian friends who regularly visit Egypt. They come back with stories of adventure. I’ve been invited several times, but have yet found the time to go. I want to visit Mosques and Churches – I have Muslim and Coptic (Christian) friends. I want to taste their foods, some of which I’ve already developed a taste for: koefta, swarma, bastirma, molokhia, etc. I want to sit in coffee/tea houses and just talk with anyone who will talk with me. I want to tour the deserts, maybe even ride camels.

I live in Egypt now, with just four weeks to go.

Before leaving Cairo, I want to visit the Abdeen Palace and Fish Garden, see another show at the Cairo Opera House, and maybe visit the famous Sawy Culture Wheel.

I also want to visit
Alexandria, on the Mediterranean, and Dhihab, on the Red Sea.

Egypt has been nice and very comfy. A very lovable place. Beautiful people.

This was a very impressive place. I loved Egypt. The people were friendly althought at times it was tiresome to to be stopped by someone trying to sell you something.

Beautiful placeand beautiful temples.

Fun to go, very hot, houses the Pyramids. Pyramids!

last time to me was in 2003

Would’ve hated to miss this place. Took a Globus tour. Was well worth it. Moreso seeing Cairo, Alexandria, cruising down the Nile, seeing Aswan, Luxor, Karnak, etc. The pyramids shouldn’t be missed just don’t take a camel ride and learn to doggedly repeat “no thanks” before you get there. :) Really amazing to see all that history and all the huge buildings at long last.

I’d always wanted to go to Egypt and I eventually went just before I turned 21. I stayed in Hurghada and also went to Luxor to go to Valley of the Kings which was really good. The beach was gorgeous aswell. Unfortunately I couldn’t eat as I really didn’t like any of the food plus we all caught stomach bugs! Being hassled on the street all day isn’t fun either (especially if you’re a woman!). Otherwise it’s pretty good.

I just decided! I am going here for my 30th birthday in July…can’t wait!!

We stayed in a five star hotel and loved it…we made the silly mistake of going to the valley of the kings in the middle of the day (it was so hot I could feel my skin burning)!
