two weeks in Egypte: discovery of Cairo and travelling across Sinai to the Red See

Last night, we were told that our tour would start at 9am.  We didn't end up leaving until 10:30am!!!  So we took a really long breakfast at the hotel, half of which I am not sure what I ate.  But it was pretty good.While we were waiting in the lobby, we overheard a girl saying to so…

Ramy, (nezo) had a birthday on Aug 12th and I looked at his profile photo and thought, I could give him a gift by changing his shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes and I hope he is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a photo of you …

We took the train back to Cairo in the evening, and found a place to grab some dinner.  We took one last walk around town and packed up our things.  We took a quick nap, and at 1:00 AM on the 7th, we headed to the airport.  Our flight was at 4:00 AM, so we just took it easy at the ai…

Sharm el Sheikh and Cairo!

Cairo has a lot to offer. I started my Cairo trip from Tahrir where I stayed in Canadian hostel a good place which was clean for 20 LE. Tahrir could be termed as the focal point of the city since it is kind of the middle of the city one can easily go to Giza , old city etc , the subway is here …

That is what I'm feeling. I wait FIVE YEARS for 'The Last Five Years' to be performed in Perth... FIVE YEARS of listening (and singing along) to Sherie Rene Scott belting out her side of the story, FIVE YEARS of simultaneously swooning over and wanting to smack the character of Jamie for being such…

The business trip was the second of its kind in the same year: the first was the trip to Masai Mara in Kenya for the sole purpose of selling Mara Safari Club which was part of Lohnro Chain of Hotels. The Egyptian trip was organized by three main players in the industry who stood to benefit greatly …
