Republic of Ecuador is a relatively small South American country.
It’s only bordered by Colombia and Peru.

Ecuador – Introduction
Welcome to Ecuador!
October on my blog is going to be all about this South American country.
I can promise you lots of nature and … snow. 🙂
Hopefully, you’ll like it.
Egypt – Final Impression
As a final word for this month travel impressions, I want to emphasised that my time in Egypt was very limited and I didn’t have a chance to go to many places I dream of – like Luxor. Hopefully, one day, I can visit more of Egypt and then prepare a second month about Egypt on my blog. 🙂
For now, that’s all about Egypt; hopefully, you liked some of the pictures.
And tomorrow, we’re going far, far away. 🙂
Egypt – Crazy Traffic
I remember from Egypt its crazy traffic. Then, I thought, maybe I shouldn’t mention it, because it’s nothing unusual in Africa or Asia. On the other hand, it’s also something characteristic for these places and doesn’t really happen in Europe; at least not in this scale. 😉
Egypt – Sinai Peninsula
I’ve already mentioned before, but didn’t really write anything about Sinai or Sinai Peninsula.
Sinai Peninsula is actually a very tourist part of Egypt with well known resort towns, coast, coral reef and biblical Mount Sinai.
Egypt – Desert & Safari
The Sahara desert takes a large part of the Egyptian territory.
It doesn’t make the life of Egyptians easier, but for tourists it’s a great chance to see the desert.
Egypt – Where It All Begins
I like to read about tourism slogans of different countries.
For Egypt it’s: “Where It All Begins”.
I think it’s a nice one.
Egypt – Resorts
Along the Red Sea coast, there are many Egyptian resorts, two very well known towns are called: Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada.
Not a bed option for a few days.
Egypt – Gulf of Suez
The Gulf of Suez is situated in Egypt, at the end of Sinai Peninsula.
There is a boundary between Africa and Asia.
Egypt – Suez Canal
Suez Canal was built in Egypt to connect the Mediterranean Sea (Port Said) with the Red Sea (Port Tewfik, Suez).
It’s a very important waterway.
Egypt – Enjoying Water
You don’t have to dive in Egypt, enjoying water and sunny days is also a good option in Egypt.
Egypt – Diving
Many people love to dive and explore Red Sea in Egypt. And there are good reasons to do so.
Egypt – Sea
Egypt has an access to two seas: the Mediterranean and Red Sea.
It’s also one of the reasons why people like to visit Egypt.
Egypt – Climate
Egypt has a hot, dry climate; so no wonder it’s a very popular destination during winter, i.e., from about October to March, and especially in December.
Egypt – Camel Riding
Camels are often a tourist attraction, and it’s possible to have a camel ride. Definitely, not my favorite way of transportation…
What do you think about camel riding?
Egypt – Camel Rock
Do you see a camel’s head?
🙂
Egypt – Camels
Camels and members of the Camelidae family can be found in many places in the world.
As I learnt at school and it sticked to my head, if there is a desert there are also camels, so camels are in Egypt. 😉
Egypt – Great Sphinx of Giza
The mysterious Sphinx is a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, was carved out of limestone.
Egypt – Pyramids
I’m aware someone may say “pyramids are nothing special”, “it’s just a few stones” etc.
I think they are very impressive, their history, how they were built and even the location – you are just outside the big city, but at the same time your’e on the desert.
Egypt – Giza Pyramids
The Giza pyramid complex is located on the Giza Plateau.
You’ll find there amazing pyramids and famous Sphinx.
That’s the place to feel “like in Egypt”, or in ancient Egypt. 😉
