Western Desert

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 | By matt_and_mercaders | Views [1903]

Having taken just about all that we could of Cairo, it was with a sense of excitement (and renewed hope on my part) that we headed into the Western desert for a little adventure, including a night camping. Our three day get away began in the oasis ... Read more >

Cairo & Luxor

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 | By matt_and_mercaders | Views [1162]

This entry almost deserves the title Death on the Nile. We were warned “good places are difficult to come by in Cairo” but we didn't expect this to be so true and extend to Luxor as well. We did grapple some highlights though to ensure we had covered ... Read more >

Alexandria the Great

Thu, 3 Jul 2008 | By coffeedrop | Views [877]

Michael Jackson was cranky.  I know this because when I pulled left, he turned right.  When I snapped the reins, he slowed down, and when I shot a photo of him, he grumbled and moaned.  The camel is an amazing animal though, and one that I'm not sure ... Read more >

Dante's Tenth Circle

Thu, 3 Jul 2008 | By coffeedrop | Views [512]

I'm not sure why, but for some reason, a dinner cruise along the Nile sounded like fun last night.  So I threw down my 120 pounds, put on a nice shirt, and almost immediately regretted my decision.  It seems I was the only one at my hotel who signed ... Read more >

Chaos and Cheops

Thu, 3 Jul 2008 | By coffeedrop | Views [534]

As I have heard from numerous travelers heading north from there, Cairo is not for the faint of heart.  The traffic, the dust, the noise and the smog, plus the inumerable touts, make this a mind-blowing (or numbing) metropolis.  I am still amazed that ... Read more >
