A very nice dinner at Sabaya
May 10, 2008
After our Desert Adventure we had to take a little nap and got up at 8pm - dinner time.
We got ready and headed to the Semiramis InterContinental hotel, just a few minutes away by foot, which hosts a couple of good restaurants and bars. There our chosen place was the Sabaya, serving lebanese food. We both never had lebanese food, and were very suprised that delicious stuff like this is not that popular where we live - or at least we don’t know any places in Bochum serving lebanese food.
So we had a nice dinner with awesome mezze (kind of tapas) and nice grilled lamb in yoghurt sauce, together with a bottle of egyptian white, Chateau Marquise - don’t kow if it’s fit for lamb, but we both prefered white that night.
By the way, check my skin color on the photo.
Tomorrow we wanna check out the egyptian museum or islamic cairo, so stay tuned.

Arrived in Cairo
May 10, 2008
So, we finally arrived in Cairo at 2:15am. After getting our Visas we grabbed our stuff and headed outside, were the friendly guys from the hotel were already waiting. It took about 15 minutes or so, to drive to the hotel. Well, it was in the middle of the night, and everything is really quiet on the streets. That means that it would take a bit longer at daytime, according to what I heard of the traffic here.
Anyway, we didn’t see very much, but the Hotel is very nice and clean. I already a tea with the guys talking about Cairo, tours and some other stuff.
I didn’t take any pictures so far, except of one that I wanna share with you. The picture of our “bathroom”. That’s hilarious. On approx. 1 sq meter you can shower while you… Well, “Multitasking”. Take a look at the attached picture and see for yourself :)
