Do you see a camel’s head?
🙂
Egypt – Camel Rock
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. 😉
Egypt – Giza
Giza is a big city located a few km from Cairo.
Once you’re in Cairo, going to Giza is a must to see the Giza Pyramids.
Egypt – Mosques in Cairo
In Cairo, you can find hundreds of mosques, some of them you can easily visit.
Egypt – Islamic Cairo
Islamic Cairo is the historic part of the city. This name may be a bit confusing, because it doesn’t mean that’s the only Islamin area in Cairo; it’s just the one with many historical sites.
Egypt – Egyptian Museum
You could easily spend a whole day in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, also called as the Egyptian Museum. Simply enjoy an amazing ancient world! 🙂
Egypt – Museum of Egyptian Antiquities
As I said, I’m fascinated by ancient world and may a bit biased here,
but for me, one of the best places in Cairo is the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities with a rich collection of items from ancient Egypt.
Egypt – Cairo
Cairo is a large city with many diverse areas.
Depending which part of the city you visit, you may think Cairo is poor, crowded, old, modern, polluted, etc. Even some of the above adjectives are not really positive; Cairo is worth visiting!
Egypt – Capital
Cairo is the capital of Egypt.
Egypt – or Tourism
To continue from yesterday, tourism in Egypt is not only visiting ancient sites, but also relaxing on beach, swimming, diving, etc.
And both are fine, Egypt is perfect for both kinds of tourists.
Egypt – Tourism
Tourism is a very important sector in Egypt.
I’ve been always fascinated by ancient world, so visiting ruins in Egypt, Greece, Rome, and many other countries, is a wonderful experience for me.
Egypt – Nile River
Nile is the longest river in Africa, for many, it’s also the longest river in the world.
You can find Nile River in 11 countries: Burundi, Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
Egypt – Arab Republic of Egypt
Do you know, that Egypt is officially called the Arab Republic of Egypt?
Somehow, in my mind, Egypt is not really an Arabic country, but Pharaoh. 😉
Egypt – Introduction
Welcome to Egypt!
This September is going to be all about Egypt, hopefully you’ll like it.
England – Final Impression
Goodbye England!
Today, I’m showing you the last picture of this month.
How did you like my England series?
Maybe one day England with new places will be again on my blog; there is still lots to see.
For sure, I’ll show you in future London and other countries/territories of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
And tomorrow, we’re starting a trip in a warm, tourist destination. 🙂
Stay tuned!
England – Streets
In the UK (not only in England), I like streets with characteristic (or the same), old buildings.
I know, “it’s nothing special”, but I still think they look nice.
England – Angles
Is England country of Angles?
maybe…
The name “England” comes from the old English name “Englaland”, that means “land of the Angles”. 😉
