Been a while since I have last traveled. Definitely nervous that if rift something or I would be flagged by tsa. Glad I am pushing my comfort zone and doing this trip.

Looked into some breathing techniques my therapist talked to me about. Pretty helpful!Les mer

Spent 30 minutes figuring out my priority pass, I am a bit rusty. But Chase gave me a free 1 day pass at a lounge. Things feel good now with salad, coffee and a couple of brownies. Lunch or champions baby!Les mer

Arrived in cairo!
21. desember 2023, Egypt ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
I sat next to two cool seat mates on the plane. Marwa, from Egypt, here for a wedding and Jacob, from Seattle, traveling internationally for the first time visiting his girlfriend in Romania. Great chats. 24 hours of flying, no delays.

Arrived in Cairo to Careless Whispers by George Michaels, how can you not smile? Met my guides and they took care of all immigration.

Driving is crazy here. It’s like Thailand/Cambodia but with cars instead of motorcycles. Tomorrow is pool day and meet up with the group at 6pm!Les mer

Cairo D2 - pyramids, sphinx, museum
23. desember 2023, Egypt ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Busted the pyramids of Giza, saw Christmas camel, and bonded more with my new family of Brits and Egyptian guide, Mohammed (the “Casper” family).

The pyramids were stunning and even more impressive than I imagined. I got to go inside the Cheops’ pyramid and see a burial chamber! Blew my mind at how much more incredible this is than my childhood imagination could conceive...Les mer

Alexandria
25. desember 2023, Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Still struggling with jet lag but had about 8 cups of coffee to address it. Went on the road to Alexandria, about a 3-hour van ride away. Alexandria is about 6.5 million large and on the sea. Alexandria, up until 1956 (due to the Suez Canal war) was a melting pot of Egyptian, Greek, and Italian cultures. much of the architecture still reflects that.

The great lighthouse was destroyed in 30 bc, but rebuilt in the modern era. Toured the modern building.

Also got to see the catacombs which were much more impressive from the inside vs the outside. Bodies were buried for rich and the poor due to no room.

Had beers with Scott, Amanda and Georgie, and then a fresh seafood dinner with the fam. Surprisingly stayed up through all of it! embracing Egyptian/Turkish coffee!Les mer

Xmas in Alexandria & night train!
25. desember 2023, Egypt ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Christmas Day! Had a lovely brunch with the family on the rooftop. I finally am acclimating and got better sleep, thank goodness.

We visited the citadel built in 1476, so impressive! The ventilation and heat dissipation were so well thought out.

I also visited a Coptic Orthodox Christian church and learned more about its history.

You can't escape Christmas in Egypt, it's everywhere! Christmas music is played all around the city, our group leader told us that Muslims and Christians celebrate their holidays together!

Snuck in a video pretending to record our guide but secretly showcasing the "influencers" in the world. It's amazing how people hunt for the best photograph while not staying present with the more beautiful works of art around them!Les mer

Aswan - Abu Simbel, cruise, feluccas!
27. desember 2023, Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Visited the amazing temple of Abu Simbel. It is in a very remote area so we woke up at 4:30 AM to get a spot before the crowds arrived. Built by Ramses II, the statues are over 30 feet tall!

Came back to board our cruise ship and took an evening felucca ride. Went to the night market and spice shop to secure some tea and incense. Aswan is my new favorite place in Egypt!Les mer

Visited the tombs of the Nobles in Aswan. Hiked to the top to see St George's monastery, and had a beautiful view of the Nile.

Went to Kol Ombo in the evening, a magnificent template complete with mummified crocodiles!Les mer
