Egypt
So I decided I wanted to go to Egypt. I have to tell you, it’s actually rather far from Morocco. But in any case, I went. I met some fantastic people there. Here’s the play by play:
Day 1
Got to Kaitlyn’s (see “I am a navigational genius” post).
Slept 2 hours
Egyptian Museum hours of mummies and artifacts—really cool.
Walked along the Nile & the AUC campus
Went to the Cairo Tower and hung out
Party at Ryan and Bub’s in Ma’adi at night.
Day 2
7AM leave for Agami (beach town in the N near Alex) with lots of ppl
Spend day there.
Nearly die on the way home. Not kidding.
Day 3
Coptic Cairo see churches, synagogue, graveyards, walk around.
Pick up another friend at café
Credit card stops working.
Eat koshery ( I had been eating before this, but the sheer amount of pasta, chick peas, fava beans, noodles, lentils and sauce consumed warrents mention here)
Go to Atif’s
Sufi Dancing show
Khan el halili
Smoke shisha.
Buy shisha.
Go back to Kaitlyn’s
Forget to take shisha from Greg, who is so kindly carrying it.
Day 4
Pyramids at Giza
Looong lunch and convo
Islamic Cairo
Fight with cab driver
See various mosques. Fail to view city from minarets.
Walk in slums searching for City of the Dead
Take cab to City of the Dead
ENTER City of the Dead (see post).
World Cup Final
Exchange of photos
Flight out (my flight out is actually part of Day 5, but such a day never really existed for me, as I didn’t sleep. Pure delirium).
