Egypt

  • The Egyptian Museum

    We toured the Egyptian Museum 2 days ago and I have putting off writing this post because I didn’t know what to say. There is no way for me to describe what I saw or to convey the feeling you… Continue reading

  • A Day In The Life Of An Egyptian

    I took a lot of pictures that really didn’t fit into my previous daily descriptions but are still interesting. I hope you enjoy looking at them. Continue reading

  • Cairo – The Second Time Around

    We arrived in Cairo from Aswan about 10:30 AM. The strange thing about Egyptair is that they have no jet ways. You have to walk down the stairs of the plane (like the old days) or either walk to the… Continue reading

  • Leaving Ship and Day in Aswan

    It was a little sad leaving the ship because it was laid back and fun. What would a day in Aswan be without a visit to the dam. There are now 2 dams, the old one and the new one.… Continue reading

    My alarm went off at 3:45 AM for a 5:00 AM departure for Abu Simbel. We arrived there about 9:00 AM after stopping at the most disgusting rest stop I have ever seen. And then they have the audacity to… Continue reading

  • Cruising the Nile

    This morning we woke up in Edfu, that is called the Buggy Capital of Egypt. Of course, the transportation for the first temple of the day had to be by buggy. There were hundreds of these buggies pulled by very… Continue reading

  • Pyramids and Pyramids, Oh my!

    After arriving in Cairo we checked into our hotel, the Cairo Marriott. Our guide told us the building used to be a palace in the 1970’s which made sense once you saw the architecture. Everything was over the top, gilded… Continue reading

  • Egypt Air

    The best thing about flying Business Class is the lounges. When the YaYa’s flew Emirates, they had a three story building in Dubai for Business Class customers. We are talking free massages, manicures, pedicures, hair salon, showers, gourmet meals and… Continue reading
