The Cairo experience - Yin side

Ok, I need to Yin Amanda's Yang of Cairo. Not that I don't totally understand it, as we get a lot of attention and women are treated a bit different here. The culture is far from our own and it can take a lot out of you. That being said... I am having an awesome time here. After holing ...

Egypt!

We arrived in Cairo after a ten hour overnight layover in the Athens airport feeling drained and a bit wary at the thought of what we were about to get ourselves into. The first day we spent sleeping off the jet lag while puttering around the hotel and local neighbourhood. A bit about the...

Day 16 - Now That's Bazaar

Cairo is a difficult city in many ways and has definitely worn us out. But that's not to say that we've given up. Today, our final day, we toured Islamic Cairo - the Citadel, a few mosques, and the bazaar. Frankly, all were pretty unimpressive but Ellery did some good bargaining for...

Day 15 - Titi Typeface

Well, vacation is almost over and I think Ellery is ready to be home. Me too, just a bit. There's only so much new information and experiences that the mind can take in at one time. This morning started with an early drive through the countryside surrounding Cairo to Saqqara, home of the...

Day 14 - Yep, Definitely Pyramids

Another wonderous day -- meaning another Wonder of the World. We started the day by heading to Giza and seeing the Pyramids and the Sphinx. While not exactly in Cairo, they are part of this city. Except for the spectacle of the edifices themselves, and the life around them (the stalls, camel...

Day 13 - The Lawyer's Mountain

Yesterday never really ended … at about 1:00 this morning, we arrived at Mt. Sinai and almost immediately climbed on our camels (yes, we’re wusses but we were more interested in making it to the top on time than in winning any fitness contest) to begin the climb to the top. We reached the end of...

Cairo, Egypt.... the final days (#10)

After a crash course in camel riding and the Egyptian culture (the good and the bad...aka tourist scams...), we made our way to the famous and crowded Egyptian Museum. Just like Andrea (love you and miss you!) said, the museum is jam-packed with ancient artifacts...small and large. We were...

First day in Egypt (#9)

Cairo is large, noisy, and suprisingly chaotic (cross the street if you dare). Nonetheless, it is peppered with a myriad of fascinating sights, including various mosques, coptic churches, museums, and market places. All of us arrived at different times of the night (Danny from Spain and us...
