Our Last day in Cairo. It was fantastic. We both really love Cairo. It is an amazing city. I've never been anywhere quiet like it. Its big and busy and warm and dusty and totally safe and friendly. We both feel safer there than we do here in Edmonton. The people are very friendly and helpful, granted 1/3 of them wanted to sell us stuff from thei...

We met our group members today---Essam, the group leader introduced us to the rest---Sue, Kelly, Lex, Warren, Lisa, Evon, Angela, Christina and Julia---from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Essam went through the do's and don'ts, the itinerary and other details. then we went to visit one of the oldest mosques and the biggest bazaar market in C...

Well, getting back to Cairo from Israel wasn't exactly easy, but I made it in time to see the pyramids and tour Cairo a little bit. I was able to find a service taxi from Taba near the border, into Cairo. It dumped me off on the outskirts of the city at about 12:30 AM, but you couldn't tell from the action going on in the street (actually not a ...

We were due to meet Naglaa and Sameh at 10 this morning, and amazingly, after our late night , we did! We even had time to have breakfast before we left. We were scheduled to visit the step pyramid of Saqqara. This is the earliest pyramid ever constructed, and is possibly the oldest stone structure in the world. It was initially just one level, ...

I'm in a bit of shock, I think. Well, it's hard to say whether it's a shock or an ambivalence. Cairo is very different from Africa, and very different from many places. Still I find myself adjusting rather quickly - not wandering around wide-eyed and hypersensitive to the newness of the environment. This is either shock, like I first mentioned, ...

Friday, March 09, 2007 Pyramids of Giza / Memphis / Sakkara Dear Readers: Yesterday our driver gave us the news that the Great Pyramid of Cheops would only be open in the morning today, so we dutifully arise early and leave the hotel at 7:30am. Traffic is clear this early in the morning, and we are zip to the Pyramids in just a half hour. It is ...

Turkish keyboards are infuriating! I blame all random punctuation problems you find in this blog entry on them. After our final dinner in Dahab and a very brief sleep we got on the bus and headed back for our last few days in Cairo. Our last few days in Cairo were supposed to be relaxing, but really they werte anything but. After saying our good...

Well this is it! We left Dahab last night at midnight and our private mini bus took us and a few other American girls back to Cairo in 9 hours, which was suppose to be 6 hours! :( But it was quite a comfortable drive. Dahab was fantastic. We really had a chilled out time over there. Made the most of the sand, sun and the beach. We went snorkling...

In the morning we went to the pyramids of Giza, where Omar and Ashraf arranged a horse or camel ride for us. Since most of the group took horses (the speedy version), Mariona and me shared a stupid and very lazy camel, which refused to move. Sometimes this camel suddenly started to run for 3 meters - before it stopped all of a sudden for the rea...
