Was here in Egypt from July to November 2009.. It was for the El Araby Project.
Egypt is a nice place.. Very friendly people and more or less, looks like Bombay with a good night life.. Have been to different places.. a lot of history, a place of antiquities, pyramids, land of temples… Famous for the Red Sea and the historic nile river. Ofcourse, once you go about and see those Museums and go through some books, it`ll be painful to see how a civilization has been lost. A civilization which contributed to the science of Mummification and the Engineering marvel for the construction of greatest pyramid is totally lost. & several libraries burnt and brutalized during the times of crusade there by losing a wealth of knowledge. Surely, one would wonder, had we not lost the knowledge, may be, the human civilization might would have been lot different now.
Egypt as of now is certainly a place to be, with its friendly people who`ll go out of the way to help. & the people are very helpful, jovial and with a remarkable sense of humour. Not really expensive so as to say, but not cheaper too.. Though an Islamic country, its not too conservative and people are welcoming, especially foreigners. Wine is available across the counter in cairo.
Some must things to do being that of Nile Criuse, Visiting the pyramids, the museums and the red sea, to name a few.Egypt is a nice place..
