... flight was, again, lackluster, and at 2:30 pm we choked down the same boiled egg and boiled wiener that they served us on our last flight. Landing in Dubai airport was like landing in the future, given its comparison with the previous countries. It was spotless and modern and we were able to easily find our way to the ‘futuristic’ metro line headed for town. We arrived at our clean, swanky digs hours before Joe and D. As Steph was not ...

... 125 steep stone steps and along a 63m passage and came back pretty exhausted. <br><br>Back in the comfy car we drove to Saqqara where we visited the step pyramid built by Pharoah Zosers chief architect Imhotep. We couldn't visit the step pyramid but went into Titi's pyramid and tomb instead. This one I actually got to visit. Titi was the first Pharoah of the 6th dynasty (2345-2323BC) and his pyramid is probably not as impressive as it first was. However climbing down the stairs and ...

... middle of the Nile in Cairo) with two roommates, a guy friend, and guy from Cairo. We sat in a really nice garden right next to the Nile - it was a very nice area that I'll definitely have to go back to when I need peace again. That night, I went out with my roommate and two Egyptian friends and we spend the night on the roof of a building, drinking tea, eating ice cream, sharing jokes and riddles in our languages, and having a great time. <br><br><br>When ...

... breaking any rules. The temperature inside one of these pyramids sky rockets and the air smells like death. While there is little to be seen it was pretty cool to say you were inside a pyramid.<br><br>The final complex we stopped at was Memphis, 20 pounds with student ID, which was more a collection of artifacts and statues than a complex. Memphis is famous for having one of the largest Ramesis statues ever made, on its side, while it was abandoned after being ...

... of his.<br><br>Then we took a trip to the markets in Cairo. The market was packed and crazy with stands selling all sorts of things. We bought tshirts and hookahs. As the market got more crowded it started to get less fun. Sarah almost got run over by a cart. Lindsey was repeatedly groped by a creepy little man we've since named "Gropey." Even after Tom yelled at him he continued to follow us, even after we got into a taxi. We were glad Tom was there.<br><br>Atef had offered us a ...

... store has bellydance stuff. Immediately a kid grabs me and takes me to his little store that had **** but I bought a little something anyway because he was so nice and friendly. They love to chat the Egyptians, I think it's just cause they are bored...and friendly. He took me to another place even though I was specifically looking for a shop that my dance teacher told me about. The designer in there told me to just look and see the prices before going to the ...

... incredibly refreshing was a degree of recognition that outpaces those before him, as well as an articulate argument for why solving the problems of the Middle East is in all of our interests, not just those of American empire, not just those of Authoritarian dictatorships, and not just those ot the Israelis or of the Palestinians.<br><br>But what Obama did not do is lay out what tangible steps he would take to ensure action even when his sound arguments ...

... occasionally goats. The sound of car horns is inescapable. Nearly everywhere you go someone is asking &#8220;where you from?&#8221; &#8220;come look at this scarf, tee shirt, map of nothing, etc&#8221; &#8220;For you good price&#8221;&#8230; and yet, for all its chaos you can turn a corner on a busy street and be staring at an ancient wonder of the world.
