Julie in Egypt: Yeah! Back to Dahab.
http://juliesegypt.blogspot.com/2010/05/yeah-back-to-dahab.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. When I left Jordan I said I would never be back to the Middle East. Never say never! Being able to take to the water in Dahab again.what can I say - it must be a dream. Even caught up with good mate/colleague Mary. Back to Seaview - Mohmamed is always pleased to see us. Thanks to Rula who pointed all the good spots for snorkeling, I often think of her here.

Julie in Egypt: al-Azhar Park
http://juliesegypt.blogspot.com/2010/03/al-azhar-park.html
Saturday, March 13, 2010. Paths meander through idyllic gardens, with many water features. We had a yummy lunch in a traditional style building in the grounds. Because al-Azhar Park is on a hill, you get amazing views all over Cairo. On a clear day (that would be a lucky day) you can even see the Pyramids. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Julie in Egypt: Siwa on the edge of the Sahara Desert
http://juliesegypt.blogspot.com/2010/03/blog-post_07.html
Sunday, March 7, 2010. Siwa on the edge of the Sahara Desert. After the exhausting lead up to the holiday, spending a week in Siwa, and Albabenshal Inn in particular, was paradise. Siwa is the only remaining spot in Egypt where people are Berbers and speak the Amazigh ancestral language. The food came in generous helpings and was delicious. The waiters could not do enough to please us. Though I did request breakfast at 7am to which one replied 'Uh ah, 7am comes much too early!

Julie in Egypt: Cairos Market
http://juliesegypt.blogspot.com/2010/02/cairos-market.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Had a blissful time wandering this market - not the touristy one. A stall holder bought Mary and I warm pita, falafel and salad with tahini dressing. Scrumptious. Cost - 25 cents. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Simple template. Template images by gaffera.

Julie in Egypt: Acclimatising to Cairo
http://juliesegypt.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post_12.html
Friday, February 12, 2010. Looking out on the chaos I can't helped but be charmed and thrilled to be here, despite the smog and bleeping horns of rude drivers. I. Enjoyed these views from the unique minaret of the Ibn Tulun Mosque - a geometric wonder built in 800 AD with a huge central square coutyard with a covered hall on each side and rows of columns. This is one of the largest mosques in the world and Cairos oldest. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Simple template. Template images by gaffera.
