Re: Living the Egyptian style

hell yeah! i totally want to go to Egypt but have assumed it was unsafe for Americans...

Dzone, where are you from originally? what made you move to Cairo? Is it safe?

Originally form Egypt, but i was livin in UK, been back for 5 years now, basicly coz i tot i need change and got offerd a good job & got lots of mates here.

The place is wicked holiday destination, sea, beach and the whole lot of old Egypt.

Then for EDM lovers some mad parties by the pyerameds & in the desert, like nothing u can ever think, you just need to know some1 who is related to EDM coz it's underground.

ppl are very frenidly and Yes it's safe for Americans

Re: Living the Egyptian style

cool that you liked Egypt, i've been living there 4 the last 5 years and this country got alot of lovely places to visit.

have u been to Sinai ? Red Sea ?

We first flew into Sharm El Sheikh, the next day we flew to Luxor, took a bus to Asuan then had 3 day ride with a boat on the Nile from Asuan back to Luxor and for the last 2 days flew back to Sharm El Sheikh! We had a busy schedule, starting at 7am to catch the lower temperatures (30 degrees celsius - 45 in the afternoon).

Love the Red sea and the corals and the colorfull fishes inside - amazing beyond words!
The Nile is the oposite - dirty but has a soul of its own!

yeah, and then the 300 lb male tourist can sit on you. careful for what you wish for


nice pics. One question Kat, how were the people to tourists?

The african part od Egypt is more polite and not so greedy although you get asked for tips all the time, the asian part is more piranha like - you cannot even look at some souvenir thinking that you're not going to buy it - they sell you everything! And they get offended if you dont bargain - means that you have no respect for the money!
Besides that is ramadan at the moment and some people were quite tense until 6pm when breakfast starts.

hell yeah! i totally want to go to Egypt but have assumed it was unsafe for Americans...

Dzone, where are you from originally? what made you move to Cairo? Is it safe?

Its not unsafe but in some parts our bus had to have a police escort becouse of the incident that happened not so long ago, other than that ordinary people like tourists - they live on the tips. One us dollar gives them 2 days of food.

Great pics, espeically the legacy one.

How did they treat you? Did the men and women treat you differnly (i don't know if that question is even relevant as I know next to nothing about egyptian culture)

Usualy theres not so many women to be seen and almost every public employee is man.

nice pics kat. are all those your pictures? you have a lovely camera

Yes I took those pics myself and the camera is 'nada especial' - Olympus C-360 3.2
I took like 600 shots.

We never saw the pyramids so I have no idea how Cairo looks like (18 mil ppl) must be a different place all over. Deffenetly going back soon, I made some friends and have a place to stay.

Wonderfull!
