So is this it??? My Egypt Lonelyplanet still looked new, had that characteristic new-book fragrance and my stickies were all in place of some of the attractions. So is this REALLY it? Is it ALL over? Personally, for me, there was a voice in my head going "Du-bai Du-bai Du-bai DU-BAI... DUUUUBAAAAI"…

ALTERNATE EGYPT Again! Again! This was the united cry from family and friends that assailed our ears, when Nirupa and I announced our return to Egypt. A call we can never ignore! But this was to be a trip with a difference (Yes we would do the traditional tombs, temples and monuments ramble) but…

Well, after a long travel day, I have spent my first full day in Egypt. The flights over were uneventful, but unfortunately, Air France provides about as mych leg room as the back seat of my MINI -- it was actually, laughable, so that is what I did a lot. The little tv screen was so close to m…

When i and my friend - Ana - had decided to visit Egypt we didn't know that Ehab (Maher) would accompany us during our whole trip but i don't know what we would have done there without him...This trip wasn't just a dream coming true but also the beginning of an amazing and a hopefully everlasting friendship. Shukran Ehab for these unforgetable 9 days - you're an incredibly nice person! God bless Travbuddy!!!!! :-))))

Tras haber estado viajando toda la noche en un autobús infernal, con el aire acondicionado a tope pese a que hacía bastante frío fuera y con el chofer deleiteándonos con cinco minutos de música a todo volumen cada hora, me imagino que para hacer el sueño más agradable al personal, por fin ll…

    I realized that my trip was half over and had mixed emotions. Somewhat relieved and somewhat sad. At Amideast Headquarters we were due to depart for a lecture at the Egyptian Banking Institute, but the State Department had called a day earlier and asked us to fill out a predepatu…

Derek (derekbilldaly) wrote a blog retracing The Steps of Moses from Israel back to Egypt. And along with it he included several great photos of his journey.  He was very good about putting some little comment or description under the pictures too.  Well, when I saw one of the shots with …

  Beautiful Chaos is what comes to mind when I think back about my trip to Cairo. I once heard a tour guide say "Cairo is a place you get in and get out fast," I disagree I think Cairo is the "Pulse," or "Heartbeat" of Egypt. A big bustling city, yes it is but in there lays a concrete fou…

Well, what can I say? This is one of those "I can't believe that I'm doing this" moments. I hope I continue to have those and never grow tired of them. Arriving in Cairo is a unique experience, especially to those who have never been. You will be mobbed by people trying to "help" you, get you a rid…

We capped off our time in Dahab with some more swimming and snorkeling and a farewell dinner with Bob.  Our flight out today meant time to part ways.  Dahab was a really fun place.  It is pretty small, so you get to know people quickly.  In fact, the owner of one of the bars gav…

The previous day we met up with a local travel agency who gave us a great deal on a package deal. For around $140 American we got a day trip to Cairo which included a day pass to the museum, a meal, and the trip to see the pyramids and the sphinx, also included we got a night quadrunning trip …

   I should have named this blog "Egypt at 120 kph" because of the rush trip that we made in 1 day. That is how fast our driver was going all day. We were working on an old steam ship, a tramp steamer, and had taken a load of cargo to the Egyptian Army in Alexandria. We were in …

Egypt, and an oportunity to see the ancient and the new! This trip would include the Aswan High Dam together with the famous antiquities of Luxor.  Egypt was then one of the focal points of the Cold War. The Aswan High Dam project had become one source of friction in the contest bet…
