Cairo, Egypt - Blogabond

ein geschenkter Tag

Eigentlich hatte ich ja vor heute nach Kairo zurück zu fahren. Es blieb mir noch die Wahl zwischen Bus und Zug, so dass ich mich für die bequemer Variante auf weniger Rädern entschied: der Bus. Da dieser aber erst Abends halb 7 abfuhr, hatte ich noch einen Tag mehr ich Luxor, als ich gerechnet...

Tag 0

Der erste Tag in Kairo war sehr anstrengend aber schِn. Am wichtigsten war es noch die fehlenden Dinge zu besogen. Darunter waren nicht zuletzt die Lebensmittel für die nنchsten vier Tage, in denen ich keinen Ort passiergen werde, sondern auch einen Kocher, da mich Dennis Kocher per Post nicht...

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 ...

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...
