Exploring Egypt

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 | By adamkel | Views [9265] | Comments [1]

Friday, 23 February, off to Egypt. We will fly out from London Heathrow at 17.25 and arrive in what has been explained to me as ‘the filthiest city in the world’ ; Cairo at 20.45. I am expecting more than filth, I am expecting Cairo to be chaotic, ... Read more >

On the Cusp of Africa

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 | By sstolper | Views [1592] | Comments [2]

Chalk up the 3rd missed flight of my life. Not too good a record here, and that's not including all the trains and buses I've missed. But sitting on this balcony of the Hilton Hotel overlooking the Nile, I remember still how lucky I am to be here. Not ... Read more >

True Wonders

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 | By jreuter | Views [1500]

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 >

Eid Said!

Tue, 30 Aug 2011 | By divebunnie | Views [1477]

"Eid Said, Eid Mubarak" or "Happy Eid" whichever you prefer. So the holy month of Ramadan has come to an end, and my local friends and colleagues are in a celebratory mood. And this year I feel brings all the more cause for celebration.... Read more >

Cairo & Luxor

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 | By matt_and_mercaders | Views [1253]

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 >

24 Hour Transit: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Mon, 6 Aug 2007 | By laurelmarshall | Views [1243]

It took all day to get from Helsinki to Cairo, thanks to the inconvenient routing of our One World RTW ticket. We were routed through Barcelona for an 8 hour layover, and the Barcelona airport is not the one I'd pick for a long layover. We tried ... Read more >

streets of glue (rose)

Sun, 16 Jan 2011 | By huw-and-rose | Views [1127] | Comments [2]

I won't call it a new year's resolution, as that would mean it had been broken before it had even begun, it being mid-January already somehow (where do the days go?) but I do intend to write this blog more often in 2011. I manage most day to find ... Read more >

Walk like an Egyptian- The Overnight Train

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 | By nadscol | Views [944]

This one deserves its own story. The overnight train- definitely not something I would ever care to repeat.   We had our very long day exploring the exciting and wonderful sites of Cairo. This was exhausting (especially due to the heat) and ... Read more >

Well, arrived safe and sound....cairo is a caotic city where a 3 lane road is anything from a 2 lane to 5 lane road....the drivers just toot their horns to let you know they are there, crossing the road is a story for another time!  Yesterday we went ... Read more >

welcoming in Egypt

Sat, 26 Apr 2014 | By | Views [309] | Scholarship Entry

Our group of 20 of us did an overnight tour in Cairo, which for we singles was less than 1/3 the price of the HAL tour (same hotel), in a mini-bus. 3 hours from Alexandria to Giza the first day was a long trip, but there was a pleasant roadside stop. ... Read more >
