We left for Egypt on 25th Nov 2007 (Transit at Bahrain one night). There are soooo many interesting places to visit in Egypt!! I especially love the pyramids and the Abu Simbel Temple. From Cairo, we took a train to Luxor. And from Luxor, we cruised the Nile River to Aswan.... quite an interesting experience :) The cruise crews made a surprise birthday party for hubby... which made the trip even more memorable! Our local tour guide, Mohammed is quite a nice man (and handsome too *wink!* ). Mohammed made the Egyptian history even more interesting :) Did not get the chance do much shopping during this tour since the package itinerary was quite packed but still I got the chance to meet my ex-classmate at TKC, Nolong on my first night in Cairo.:) Nolong is currently staying in Cairo with her Swedish husband and 3 children. She came to my hotel with her lovely youngest daughter, Hanna (such a cute little girl!). I emailed Nolong to tell her that I was coming to Cairo, so she ordered some things from Malaysia which she could not find in Egypt - things like herbs - serai, daun kari, daun limau purut, ect, a bottle of tauchu, serbuk kari, serbuk kurma, ect, ect.... hahahaa! Banyak jugak lah :D It was fun meeting her again... and cute Little Hanna, of course :)
In short... I had such an amazing time in Egypt!!! :)
