      The last ancient wonder of the world!

      29 Ogos 2022, Mesir ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

      Miles: 3.9 Steps: 11541 Flights: 12

      The family run 4 room “hotel” we’re at is right next to the pyramids, a 5 minute walk to the entrance. It made for a great start to our morning. Once outside during the daylight we could really see where we’re staying. Shocking to see the exterior as it’s so nice on the inside.

      We headed in and walked the entire archeological site. It almost feels fake or unreal to see these massive pyramids. Each stone weighs TONS - and standing up next to them, each stone is taller than we are! We sat for quite some time on a bench staring at the Great Pyramid in awe thinking of all the history that must have taken place right at that spot over the last 5000 years! Crazy.

      We went back and relaxed, napped during the hottest part of the day. Just too hot to be out in it at one point. But in the evening we were able to sit on the terrace/roof, where we were served dinner and watch the night show! They tell the story of the building of the pyramids and set it to lights. Very pretty.      Baca lagi

      Cairo

      22 April, Mesir ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

      What an amazing day. We spent the first half of the day at Giza. Pyramids & the Sphinx are just amazing. And to go into the burial chamber in the middle of Khufu’s pyramid was quite mind blowing. Then we finished off the day with a visit to the Cairo museum. So much interesting stuff, including much from Tutankhamun’s tomb.Baca lagi

      Gizeh

      25 April 2023, Mesir ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Une fois rassasiés on passe par des ateliers de fabrication de tapis et de papyruson pour enchaîner sur les célèbres pyramides du site de Gizeh .

      On a bien cherché pas de trace d'électricité antique en vue!

      En face de nous 3 mastodontes :
      - khéops la plus ancienne et la plus haute
      - khéphren (qui paraît plus grande car construite sur une colline plus haute)
      C'est la seule qui conserve une partie de son revêtement initial - big up au maçon qui a fait la crépit
      - Mykérinos plus petite mais geometriquement parfaite
      Chaque fiston a voulu faire sa propre pyramide. Quid des femmes me direz vous ? Elles ont leur mini pyramide à côté !

      Ici on s'attardera pas à visiter les intérieurs a priori moins intéressant que ceux de ce matin.
      On finit par passer près du fameux sphinx .
      On en a pris plein les yeux mais on est bien crevés donc on finira la soirée tranquillement sur le rooftop de l'hôtel pour profiter de la vue      Baca lagi

      Driving here is interesting 🫣

      5 Disember 2022, Mesir ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

      From camels to donkeys to 3 men piled on 1 motorcycle, I think we’ve seen it all on the road but this was 😯. These kids tried to hitch a ride on the back of a truck.

      They drive in all different directions on the main streets. There are no lanes, no traffic lines, barely any stop lights. People walking all through the traffic.Baca lagi

      Eine Stadt im Wandel

      16 September 2022, Mesir ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      23.00Uhr ging es los von unserem Hotel in Marsa Alam. Die ganze Nacht sind wir mit dem Bus gefahren in den frühen Morgenstunden erreichten wir Kairo. Zu unserem Glück wurde für uns ein eigener Bus mit eigenen Reiseleiter organisiert, sodass wir uns breit machen konnten.

      In Kairo angekommen erlebten wir sofort das wahre ägyptische Leben, außerhalb der großen Hotelanlagen am Roten Meer.

      Es wird viel gebaut und abgerissen. Alle Autos, Pferdekutschen, Busse, Motorräder und was noch so herumfährt/-läuft ist ein einziges Wirrwarr. Überall hupt es. Man fühlt sich angekommen im Orient.

      Morgens ging es für uns zuerst in das „Ägyptische Museum“ in welchem man bis zu 7000 Jahre ägyptische Geschichte bewundern kann. Unser Reiseleiter schickte uns nicht alleine durch, sondern gab uns viele Informationen zu den einzelnen Artefakten.

      Nach zwei Stunden Geschichte ging es zum Bazar von Kairo. Dort gab es einen ersten Kulturschock. Ein reges Treiben, viel Geschrei der Händler und wir mitten drin. Nach einer Runde durch die Gassen setzten wir uns in ein Straßenkaffee.

      Bei einer heißen Tasse Schwarztee ☕️, schauten wir eine ganze Weile den Leuten zu. Dann ging es zurück zum Bus, natürlich quer über die Straße durch den völlig chaotischen Verkehr.

      Nach dem Mittagessen, welches ich nur bedingt genießen konnte, ging es zuerst von der Parfümerie zu Papyrusmanufaktur. Die Verkäufer gaben sich dabei beste Mühe uns das Geld aus der Tasche zu ziehen.

      Danach ging es für eine kurze Mittagsruhe zurück ins Hotel.      Baca lagi

      92 lb suitcase!

      30 Mei 2022, Mesir ⋅ ☀️ 102 °F

      This is a first! Dana and I had left one suitcase at the Four Seasons, took another one each on the Nile cruise. We did a good bit of shopping (as good little tourists!). My suitcase today on Egypt Air was 42.5 kg. Which equates to 92 lbs!! Holy cannoli. It was a tad heavy.

      We overnight in Cairo then leave tomorrow afternoon. Our flight isn't until 730pm.
      View from this hotel room is of the Nile this time!!      Baca lagi

      Cairo - moved to a different hotel

      19 Oktober 2022, Mesir ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Fairly relaxing day. This morning our official tour part ended, and we moved to a hotel in the centre of the city to be easy to get to places. In the interval between checking out, and checking in we first visited a school friend of Amr’s - also called Amr Ibrahim! - who lives in a beautiful apartment just round the corner from the Marriot. The building is one of those lovely ones built in the 1930s and right facing the Nile. It was like walking into another era with furniture from his parents - almost a museum. We had tea there and pastries, and then moved on with the second Amr as well to the Gezira Club which is very exclusive now, but Amr (both) and Omnia have been members since high school, and we went in as visitors. We sat outside under the trees and had one of the beautiful lemon juices they make, and very happily filled in the time between hotels.

      Went back to the Marriot and had a bit of a wait - Egyptian time - for the mini bus to take us and our luggage. Not a huge distance, but much too far to walk with bags - even for us! - along the very uneven footpaths and risking life and limb crossing the roads! Now we are staying in the Steigenberger for 3 nights, and then moving to stay with Omnia in her flat. The others will stay on at the hotel. Omnia has organised some excursions - tomorrow we will visit the Islamic area of Cairo, and visit some mosques not on the tourist route, and on Saturday there is a visit to the Coptic area.

      Tonight everyone did their own thing. I think people have enjoyed the Egyptian experience, and all us oldies have managed the quite strenuous activities!! But it is good to have a break…

      We had dinner with another school friend of Amr’s - Magdi - and his wife and Omnia. Quite a posh dinner in a French restaurant in a boat on the Nile. Lovely evening. Not French food as in France, but I had a beautifully cooked fillet steak, perfect medium rare. Amr and I walked there from our new hotel (the restaurant was just near the old one!!) which entailed ducking across busy roads at peak hour….I used to find this an adventure, but think I am a bit over it now…just getting around anywhere in Cairo is a battle - either you sit in traffic and take hours to get a short distance, or walk into the busy roads…Peter and Louise started off with us just for a walk, but waved us goodbye when we plunged into second lot of cars…I can understand!!

      Yet another Cairo day

      21 Oktober 2022, Mesir ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

      This morning after breakfast across the road at a café called La poire - which has THE best coffee (and even has flat white!!), even including Italy, so that is a real compliment….we all met in the lobby (actually not Sally and John) and Amr and I shepherded the herd across the road to the museum. It is just a stone’s throw from the hotel, but does entail crossing a busy road. It is Friday, which is like Sunday here, and there were many people visiting the museum, and many large groups. We felt smug to be individuals wandering round, and could dart to where there wasn’t a crowd. Arranged a meeting place and we all wandered and had a lovely time, filling in the gaps from the last visit when we went as part of the tour.

      Then we all met at 3 as Omnia invited everyone to her apartment for “high tea”, and some of her friends came too. It was lots of fun and a highly successful but the stressful part (for Amr) was getting people there and back. We are used to walking there in the past, but it is too far and difficult (with the road crossings and uneven potholed paths) for most of our friends, so amr organised 3 carloads of people….had to explain where (addresses are hard to explain here apparently, as the government changed street names which muddles Google - I think that was the problem, or some difficulty when there wasn’t an Arabic speaker in the car!). It is all an adventure, but stressful for Amr trying to make everything run smoothly.

      We all got there safe and sound, and it was lovely to see their apartment again, which we hadn’t stayed in since the early 90s. Omnia has done great renovations and it looks very good. Then we had the same procedure for getting home to the hotel…this time a complication as the first Uber with Evie, Robin, Sally and John went to the wrong Steigenberger hotel - or was on its way to it, way out near the pyramids!!! They realised something was amiss when they found themselves driving out of the city and fortunately it did get sorted out before going the whole way and they were delivered back to the city central one near Tahrir Square!! Phew…but Amr was stressed even more and once it was over we sat at the bar by the pool with Peter and Louise and had a bottle of wine. Now finally settling down and unwinding….      Baca lagi

      Another Cairo day

      20 Oktober 2022, Mesir ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

      A little weary to start, but it turned into a magical day. Omnia had organised a minibus to transport us to and from the Islamic area, and a wonderful guide - a professor in Islamic medieval history and architecture. We left early - you have to pick the moment here, after the school traffic (school starts at 7am) and before the commuter traffic..Pinpoint timing, and our drive was relatively easy - i.e. not standstill gridlock. Met our guide, and she led us through such interesting buildings, with history and background that we would never have found or known. The mosques we were hoping to see were closed for renovation, but there are so many amazing buildings anyway, with beautiful Islamic decoration…a complex which was mausoleum, hospital, school…

      We stopped for a tea break at one point, and were each delivered a little pot of tea and a plate of fresh mint….just delicious! We finally ended with lunch in the same place where we ate on the tour’s Islamic market day (so we knew what we wanted to order from past experience!) and it is all amongst the bazaar shops and we did a little shopping after before getting the bus back to the hotel. Angela sadly was feeling a bit seedy and didn’t come (sad as she would have loved it)…most people have had a touch of the funny tummy, but Omnia and Amr are handing out pills, and most not too dramatic! I had a little way back, but it started in Italy, so can’t blame Egypt!! All totally fine now…

      We got back in the early afternoon and everyone did their own thing for the rest of the day. Omnia, Amr and I went to visit the wife and daughter of their cousin who we will be visiting in Kuala Lumpur next week. They are back in Cairo as the daughter is in university here in her final year. Had a wonderful home cooked meal with them and a very nice visit. We took an Uber there, and got a taxi back as it was easy to hail one…a hair raising ride - no seatbelts and we were actually speeding between intersection jams…as I said before, getting round in Cairo is a complicated and difficult business!!

      Cairo

      30 Ogos 2022, Mesir ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F

      Miles: 2.4 Steps: 5638 Flights: 13

      We went to downtown Cairo today to the Egyptian Museum. What a difference in areas - Everywhere that ISN’T downtown is littered with garbage, buildings falling down and just outright nasty. Then you cross into the downtown area and it’s clean and modern.

      The museum was neat - we saw two actual mummies which was a first.

      Spent the rest of our day at our hotel, working in the room looking at the pyramids out of window. So nice to have that view 24/7 since that’s what we came here for.

      Saw another amazing sunset and the light show. Egypt is in a “reconsider travel here” warning by the state department - but so far, really glad we took the risk and made the stop here!      Baca lagi
