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.
