Saqqara Travel Blogs

As it happened, the original itinerary for today was simply to get from Luxor to Cairo and then attend the lightshow in the evening.  However departure from Luxor was to have been much later in the day.  Due to seat availability, we’d had to take an earlier than normal flight.  Consequently, t…

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!!!!! :-))))

GizaDr. Ikram took my Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt class to the Giza Plateau.  First on our agenda were the tombs by the satellite pyramids.  We visited Idu and Qar's tombs.  These tombs are small, crappy rock cut tombs with mastabas.  Qar's tomb has multiple rooms and …

Trip to Cairo

Egypt trip from March 21-25th Cities visited: Cairo, Saqarra, Dashour, Luxour and Aswan

Cruising out of the city, the Pyramids of Giza in full view, which by the way we Egyptians still gaze at in awe, a sunny, crisp, wintery afternoon trip to Saqqara was in place. Team effort building campfire, steak bites on a stick, and several beer cans later, the blowing desert winds picked up as the sun set beyond us.

A self-guided sightseeing trip through Jordan and Egypt

But the contructions were not very good in those days. When Saqqara became to big other places as Gizeh became the death c…

Our very last day in Egypt. And there wasn't much left for us to visit. The last 5 days were a rollercoaster ride, incredibly busy. We had tried to squeeze a thousand sights into those days and we had not much energy left. Still, there was one single sight to see: Saqqara.Saqqara lies about half an…

From 10 to 24 November 2006 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Cairo, Luxor & Hurghada, Egypt. We (Arno and I) climbed Mt Sinai, dived the Red Sea and saw ancient Egyptian monuments and culture.

The whole story of a 15 days roundtrip trough Egypt. It was great.

I know it's a long title but you'll have to forgive me, I want you the reader to feel a fraction of our irritance at the Cairo roads and the people on them.  Everyone knows the correct way to pronounce where you are going, NOBODY knows how to get there.  Throughout Cairo we found the…

Om 06:15 staan we op, het ontbijt is zeker niet slecht en om 07:30 zijn we klaar om de bus in te gaan. We wisselen nog snel even geld bij de receptie en krijgen voor €100,- maar LE610,-. Als ik vraag of de koers veranderd is, krijg ik er nog LE10,- bij. Een 1½literfles water kost 2,- in het hote…
