On the plateau of Giza nearby Cairo you find the world famous Pyramids, there may be numerous pictures of the Pyramids, but they will never express the feeling of amazement that comes over you from actually being there, that feeling was at its highest when we approached the Pyramids through the streets of Giza, Cairo. It is not until you get close up that you can appreciate the feat and engineering that must have been involved in the building the Pyramids. Each block is Huge. The Pyramid of Cheops took 30 years in the making, 10 to build the causeway & earth ramps and 20 to actually build the Pyramid

Cairo is the largest city in the Middle East and Africa with an estimated population of between 13 and 15 million people. Locals like to call Cairo "the Mother of the World". While al-Qahirah is the official name of the city, in the Egyptian language it is simply called by the name of the country, Masr.

Port Said is situated on the Mediterranean Sea, and at the northern end of the Suez Canal. This is where the huge ships wait to enter the Suez Canal, and is a sight not to miss. The name Port Said was chosen by a committee from Great Britain, France, Russia, Austria, Spain and Piedmont.

I know there is instability in Egypt but I loved diving the Red Sea when I lived in Cairo. Sharm el-Sheikh was the first resort I visited. You can dive via a day boat or a live aboard. There is a variety of diving there from coral reefs to wreck diving.

Snoorkling is amazing,
1- at (3 pools) Dahab (4 kilometers south of Dahab s bus terminal area)
You can get there by taxi, but I suggest to rent a horse or a camel and use
a)or the shore line (a good visit and sight seeing) of the area
b)or use the trails along the valleys between the mounains of the desert west of Dahab southward
2- at Blue hole Dahab (14 kilometers north of Dahab s bus terminal area)
You can get there by taxi, but I suggest to rent a horse or a camel and use
a)or the shore line (a good visit and sight seeing) of the area
b)or use the trails along the valleys between the mounains of the desert west of Dahab northward
3-at light house right at the northermost part of the dahab main shore line
You can get there by walking along the shore line

Also known as Saladins fortress you can reach the island by taking a small boat from Taba Heights
The entrance cost was 55 EGP and to be honest that is a fair amount of money for not much to see..however there are some amazing photo opportunities to be had

The monastary is the oldest continuously inhabited monastery in the World built on the site where Moses (Prophet Musa) talked to God via the Burning Bush,and the well of Moses which is actually an underground spring and visit the church and see the laarge collection of religious art which is amazing even for a non religious person (of course thay ask for an extra entrance fee to the gallery)
I advise people to read up on this place before they go to enhance thier visit

It was Christmas Day when we arrived at Cairo and the weather was really cool and great for shopping trips among other things... my friend and I seized the day by doing the following:
1. A lot of walking downtown -- observing people, window shopping & trying to lose weight :)
2. A visit to Egyptian Museum -- wow!
3. Experienced boat ride along Nile river -- the music too load for my ears :(
4. Shopping at Khan Al Khalili bazaar for souvenirs -- great bargaining :)
5. A day at the Great Pyramids of Giza -- awesome!
6. Passed by at Cheops Museum -- nice...
7. Where Ricky Martin bought perfume oils -- Golden Palace Perfume -- love it!!!
8. For some serious romantic letter writing buy your pads at Papyrus Making Shop -- pricey :)
9. Had dinner in one of the floating restaurant in Nile -- relaxing...
10. Meet up with Mohammad & Islam, my Egyptian friends and their family -- warm welcome

It was pretty big shock after stepping out from the well air-conditioned bus which took us from Hurghada to Luxor. Our tour-guide told us and aworned us to expect very hot day and extremelly high temperature but it was all beyond any resonable expectation. I was in Sahara desert, under 55C degrees, but never before felt such a heat. The whole ground look alike burned from the sun, stone and dust all around and not a bit of any greenery. We were good advised to bring along at least one big bottle of water, it is a must here!%a*

This is a fascinating city - typically Mediterranean yet typically Egypt. There is a lot to see here. The new library, built on the site of the ancient one has tours and is worth a visit if only for the architecture. There is Qaitbay Fort built right on the Mediterranean. The beaches are very popular and the Stanly bridge is amazing. You can't go without seeing the Roman Odeum and Catacombs. You are also close to Rosetta and not far from El Alamein.
