MY TESTIMONIALS
My darling husband Mody, let me start by saying that I thank God every night since I found you. You came into my life when everything seemed so dark but you provided the light to find my way. I've never been so certain of anything in my life like I am of us. You have totally changed my outlook in life and I thank you for that. I never thought that someone could love me like you do, but guess what? I love you that much too. I feel as if I'm walking over clouds just thinking about you. You make my life complete. I know you've said we could do foolish things while in love, but you know what? With you I wouldn't mind being a fool for the rest of my life. I love you so much and I know you love me too. I know that others looking into our relationship might think that we're saying too many foolish things too soon but they just don't know how we feel about each other. There's nothing foolish about the things I've told you, I meant every word I said. I love you and for you. I would do anything, I love you three so much. Today I promise you that I would do anything in my power to make you a great person, outstanding father and loving husband.
I LOVE YOU!!

A 4500 YEARS OLD CITY !!! ASWAN .
Sunday,Jul 6 2008, 11:26:17 PM(Last updated: Monday,Jul 7 2008, 12:05:52 AM)

 

 

 Here is something about Aswan a city with more than 4500 years  history !!

And how this lady like the tour in Aswan !!  

Wish to see you soon there one day friends..

Wish you all the best my lovely dear friends..

Yours...

Mody..


 

We arrived in Aswan early in the morning. We decided to meet at noon for our tour of the city. Our hotel had a great view overlooking the Nile. It was beautiful! We wandered the city, and had lunch. I walked the markets with Angelina and Paul. The men would all comment to Paul what a lucky man he was to have two wives. Then they would follow it up with the question....how many camels did you pay? Angelina and I were more and more offended as the day went by. One man laughed and said he had lost 20% of his business asking this question, but it did not stop him from asking. Later we would discover this was a valid question in their culture. A Muslim man can have up to four wives as long as he can afford them. When a Muslim man asks for a woman's hand in marriage he buys her a camel /camels, gives her money or gold.
Later that night we went to a Nubian Village for dinner, learned about their culture, and had a camel trek. I for one have had my share of camel rides. The camels in India were

Cruising down the Nile is a magical experience, we moored at Edfu, received a wake up call at 7ish and ducked down for a buffet breakfast. After breakfast we headed ashore to visit the well preserved Temple of Horus, considered one of the finest examples of temple construction!

Later on that night we enjoyed a fancy-dress party with of course a Egyptian theme. By the end of the night we arrived at the city of Luxor, truly a beautiful city.

much more healthier (a surprise) than the camels in Egypt. We all had great fun dancing with the children in the village.

Later when I arrived back to my hotel room, I received a call from a man. He said he had seen me earlier in the day and wanted to invite me for a drink. I asked where he had seen me and he explained it was while I was going up the stairs to my room. He said he had been waiting for me to return to my room. This scared me. I had no idea who he was. I started to wonder if he had been calling or watching my room. He said he was Egyptian and worked as a tour guide. I thanked him, said I was flattered, but I needed to get up early the next morning to catch a flight. ( I was flying to see the Abu Simbel Temple). He sounded surprised I said no and gave me his room number should I change my mind.

hahaahah  that is was a joke .ok

Aswan where the civilization was born !!

 

Thank you all of reading ...

RED SEA LIKE YOU NEVER SEE !!
Sunday,Jul 6 2008, 10:35:31 PM

 

 Just think how is so amazing to spend your next vacation  here  in red sea.

With warm sunny days. and magical nights!!

Doing all what you dream to do !!

 

 

Enjoy my friends ...

Wish you all the best  friends...

Yours....

Mody..

 


 

y far the clearest water I have ever snorkled in, and the coral and fish were amazing too! Dahab is a little Diving town on the coast of the Sinai region up in the north of Egypt, perfectly set up for relaxing and exploring the magical underwater world of the Red Sea. We stayed for a few days and just read books, snorkled and treated ourselves to the cheap, quality food you find in all the restaurants along the waterfront. everyone in the world would love this place, without a doubt.

After a good few days of doing nothing, our batteries were recharged and we headed south to what we soon found out was the real Egypt. Luxor the destination, a city on the edge of the Nile river with a couple big old Temples, the Valley of the Kings(which we regrettably didn't visit) and the famous Faluka boat rides up th Nile. the people here a very poor, living in squallars and fighting for every last pound they can get. they'll drive you around on their horse and cart for half an hour for about 5 Egyptian pounds which is about 1$US. And by the state of the horses

four countries in one day!
four countries in one day!
this morning we were in Jordan, then we had lunch in Israel, and here we are cruising down towards Dahab in Egypy, looking out over the Red Sea at Suadi Arabia
I doubt that they get to see any of that 5pounds.

It's also still the month of Rammadan, so finding food during the day is very hard and I'm finding myself quickly fading away to a featherweight version of the somewhat "curvy" russ that I've been of late. when the food does arrive though, after sundown, it's generally Rice, beans, Falafuls, Tahina and Pita bread which is all good suff. next we're off to Cairo to chek out some Pyramids

MORE THAN 3 PYRAMIDS
Sunday,Jul 6 2008, 05:16:36 PM(Last updated: Sunday,Jul 6 2008, 05:19:26 PM)

 

Here is something about  some different  pyramids we have in Egypt .

Not just  the 3 great pyramids of Giza . 

Enjoy know about them friends .

Wish to meet you soon here .





A visit to the pyramids is definitely one of the highlights of a trip to Egypt. However, there is much more to see than only the well-known Pyramids of Giza. There is a number of other sites where pyramids were built during the Old Kingdom. Besides Giza, the most famous sites are Saqqara - which features the first pyramid ever - and Dahshur with its unique Bent Pyramid. Whilst it is possible to visit all three sites on one single day I wouldn't recommend it. Access to the Giza pyramids is easily possible on public transport hence there is no need for an expensive guided tour. I'd recommend a full day in Giza, especially if you like to wander off into the desert for the most spectacular views from afar. As for Dahshur, there are only two pyramids which are worth visiting. A visit to these two pyramids should be linked with a visit to nearby Saqqara site with its pyramids and

Pyramids of Giza


Of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, only the Pyramids of Giza have withstood the ravages of time. "From the summit of these monuments, forty centuries look upon you", cried Napoleon; "A practical joke played on History", retorted another visitor.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo. The pyramid was built over a 20-year period as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops. The tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years, it was finished around 2,500 BC. Unfortunately, not much is known about Cheops: his tomb had been robbed long before archaeologists came upon it. Any information about him was taken with the objects inside the tomb. The limestone casing which covered the outside of the pyramid has eroded or been removed over time.

The Pyramid of Chephren is the second largest of the Giza pyramids. It has a base length of 215m and originally rose to a height of 143m. The pyramid sits on bedrock which is 10m higher than the Cheops pyramid which makes it look taller. Chephren was

the son and successor of Cheops. There is no evidence that anyone was ever buried in the main chamber. No inscriptions have been found in the pyramid, however there is a sarcophagus in the main chamber. The top of the pyramid still has some of the limestone casing that once covered the entire pyramid.

The Mykerinos Pyramid is the smallest of the three pyramids of Giza. Mykerinos was the successor to Chephren. The pyramid was not complete when Menkaure died and the granite encasement was in fact never finished. The pyramid stands some 65m high which is much smaller than the other two pyramids at Giza. A sarcophagus was found inside the funerary chamber but lost at sea while it was being shipped to England.

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a half-human, half-lion colossal statue next to the Chephren pyramid. It is the earliest known monumental sculpture. The Sphinx was probably built around 2,500 BC and is thought to be a guardian figure, protecting the tomb of the Chephren by warding off evil spirits. The Sphinx's face was mainly damaged during French occupation around 1800, when Mameluke troops used it for target practice for their field

cannons, but its body has been weathered by the elements for thousands of years.

The cheapest way to get to the pyramids from Central Cairo is to take the metro to Giza Station for just LE 1. From there, hop on any public bus or minibus which is headed west on Pyramids road (8km for LE 0,50). You should note that Giza can be a nightmare. Its atmosphere can be ruined by the road, the coaches, the thousands of tourists and a seemingly equal number of Egyptians offering cheap souvenirs, donkey, horse and camel rides at far too high prices. Try to be there first thing in the morning and retreat in the dessert when it becomes too busy.

Pyramids of Dahshur


The Dahshur pyramid field (LE25) contains some of the most impressive of all the pyramids, and some of the most significant in the history of pyramid building. Two Old Kingdom pyramids can be found here in the desert. Both of them are credited to Snofru, the father of Cheops. The interior of the Red Pyramid with its corbel vaulted ceiling is well worth a look, and the Bent Pyramid preserves much of the outer casing that

was stripped from the Giza pyramids centuries ago. The lack of tourists gives you a chance to take in the immensity of these monuments. In fact, I was literally on my own at both pyramids - quite a contrast to the busy Giza pyramids.

Snofru's Red Pyramid is named after the colour of the limestone it was built from. Just over 100m high, the interior is open to the public. However the electric lighting is poor and sometimes fails, so it's a good idea to bring your own torch. I entered the pyramid and climbed down a low and steep, long shaft which led me to one of the two antechambers. From here, it was a short way to the actual burial chamber with its sarcophagus. One definite advantage of visiting the interior of this pyramid rather than those at Giza is that you are likely to be alone to absorb the rather eerie atmosphere.

From the Red Pyramid, a track leads south to the pyramid where Snofru was buried, the Bent Pyramid. This is not only the most intriguing of the Dahshur pyramids, but, because of its state of preservation, also the most breathtaking. What makes Snofru's

final resting place different from all the other pyramids is its change of angle towards the top: it rises more steeply than the Red Pyramid or Giza pyramids for three-quarters of its height, before abruptly changing to a gentler slope - hence its name. The explanation for its shape, and why Snofru should have built two pyramids only a kilometre apart, is a long-standing mystery.

It is both difficult and time-consuming to get to Dahshur on public transport hence I opted for a taxi. My hostel provided me with a chauffeur-driven car for EUR 25,- per day. I decided to visit both Dahshur and Saqqara during this day and left around 7.30 in the morning. It took me about 1 hour to get to Dahshur where I spent some 2.5 hours before my driver took me to Saqqara, 10km away.

Pyramids of Saqqara


Saqqara (LE50) was one of the main burial fields of the ancient city of Memphis, capital of Ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom. It is located some 40 kilometres south from Cairo.

Saqqara is best known for the Step Pyramid, the oldest of Egypt's pyramids. It was built for King Djoser during the 3rd

Dynasty, in the mid-27th century BC. In addition to Djoser's, there are as many as 16 other pyramids on the site, in various states of preservation (or sometimes dilapidation).

Saqqara is also home to an impressive number of mastaba tombs. Because the necropolis was lost beneath the sands for much of the past 2,000 years many of the mastabas have been superbly preserved, with both their structures and lavish decorations intact. The most famous one is that of Meruruka with 32 rooms, each one decorated with reliefs. The mastabas of Ptah-Hotep and Ti are also worth visiting. The latter features an underground shaft which leads to the burial chamber with a massive stone sarcophagus.

An extra ticket (New Tombs, LE 25) will give you access to three more tombs, including the tomb of Irukaptah and the double tomb of NiankhKhnum and Khnumhotep - both should not be missed.

Sound and Light show


In operation since 1961, the Sound and Light show at the Giza Pyramids is a highlight and a "must do" for most visitors to Egypt. The intriguing combination of a modern light and laser show combined with the ancient history of Egypt makes for an
