adventures in the country of the pharaohs

Days have passed so quickly and the 20 days I were to spend in Egypt has come to an end.Generally speaking, I expected to see and experience a lot more than I have in this visit which was to some point disappointing; all because of the political issues and the situations of Egypt right now and add to that a curfew from 7 pm to 6 am which due to most of the shops and touristic places and stores close around 5 pm. Apart from that every where and thing else was pleasant and flawless. I got to see many of my family members whom I haven't seen before except for once when I was 2 years old, it was nice and loved them all; my cousins, my aunts, and uncles and the cat. They were the most down to earth, simple and kind people I have ever met, am not saying this because they are my family but it is rather the truth.

 However, I have been to 2 different cities other than Cairo, which are Alexandria and the Northern coast of Egypt. They were both Beautiful as they were both extending by the sea, the Mediterranean sea indeed. Nevertheless the view was more beautiful in the northern coast as the water seemed three-colored and the scene during sun-set is indescribable. I haven't been able to pay the Pyramids a visit though because again due to the situation of the country, no one is allowed to go there and a few other places.

Thats all I remember right now. For the pictures I will have a separate post after I have gathered them all together. 

The great return :D

Am back in Dubai finally, after a lovely one and a half month summer vacation in both Sudan and Egypt. I loved both the countries not my first in Sudan but this time it was unique as it was my first time in Sudan with my dad and he kept me well entertained and I am sure going to go back again with him as I enjoyed very much. Nonetheless, it was my first time in Egypt, it was somewhat disappointing but to a certain level but not to deny, I enjoyed as well, met so many new but amazing people whom I miss already and had a few adventures which I will be telling y'all about soon, but for now I just wanted to let you know am back safe and sound. True it is, there is no where like home and its warmth no other place can give.

Egypt..

I have safely arrived at Cairo today's  afternoon, we were all tired from sleeping less and waking up early in the morning, we have come to the house we will be staying in,  my uncle's flat, which is really nice and I like it here, my aunt also lives in the same building just a different floor so its cool around here; but since we were tired we all went to sleep and woke up around iftar time. Had a good time catching up with the family and everything. Haven't really went out today, nevertheless I had a good walk around the area as it has many shops, they have really nice things but I didn't buy anything. Glad all the family is in good health and all well. I still don't know where we are going or what we are doing tomorrow but I hope its something nice and entertaining or to the least bit interesting.

The meet-up

When you know someone for so long, long enough that you know you have to meet up but unfortunately every time you give it a try, it blows out. Well that's exactly what has happened between me and my best friend  but at last and for once, luck was by our side and we got to meet up and that too after so much trouble but nevertheless it was worth it. Even though it was a short meet up, I shall admit I was so happy and enjoyed every second while my bestie was around. I am really looking forward to more of those meet-ups. I am not going to go in to details of what happened, but I thought its worth the share because I was dying to meet up with my bestie and I finally did and I am glad I actually did except for the fact that now I can't stop thinking about my bestie and everything which is making me day-dream.
