After a good sleep, we were ready to start doing touristy things. The first stop had to be the pyramids so after some coffee and tea, we caught taxis to Giza. If you’re picturing seeing the pyramids immediately when landing in Cairo, this is far from the truth. It’s about an hour away from the … Continue reading Thursday – 26/12/2024 | The Great Pyramids of Giza

Wednesday – 25/12/2024 | Goodbye Sharm el-Sheikh and Hello, Cairo (finally)
My heart was so sad to leave this resort town. The minute I got into the taxi, I missed the resort with its hammock in the sun. We were a teensy bit late, the last time to drop off bags was 6:40am and we left the resort at 6:15am.

Today, we were lucky and our start time was 10am. That long sleep hit hard. We were ready when Abu Ahmed came, loaded into the H1 and began our drive. We passed the Syrian embassy on the way where you could see many people in line attempting to go back home. It was about a … Continue reading Wednesday – 18/12/2024 | Battle site of Mu’tah and Ashab-e-Kahf
