**Cairo--} much to see..to hear ..to experience.....

14/02/07~~Velentine's day!! I reached to Zia International Airport at 1500 by Qatar Airways Flight. I was guided by local resident went to downtown (Tahrir)by public bus....it's only cost me EP2 (USD0.34)...heheh...damn cheap!!!!

After survey, I had decided to stay in Tulip Hotel...well..actually more to motel!!! As backpacker, USD10 per night was fair enough.

Mm...brought along my camera n took a cab to-->> Khan Al-Khalili Souq(bazaar). 10min away from the hotel!
All d bounty of d east is found here!



really lazy to bargain wif seller , therefore most of d time===> window shopping ^^


yup...pharaoh....

Even though Cairo city buses are seldom recommended for visitors but i stil determined to sample Cairo life on a bus!!! First attempt was failed bcoz of misleaded but finally i still able reach to Pyramids after exchanged d bus!!! heheh...learned from mistake

Cairo.....lying within the great Sahara Desert. With no doubt, i have been drawn to this extraordinary state with its Pyramids and Sphinx. It took 2.3 million blocks of limestone n granite to build one pyramid, am i look like a dwarf in front of the Pyramid????

heheh.....i was fishing d pyramid!!!
d Pyramids r one of the seven wonders! The pyramid of Cheop was d largest of d three, and its companion pyramids r a true feat of engineering! heheh....should cover d mouth coz d wind brought sands!
'lonely..im so lonely..i hav nobody..' There was a vacant seat next to me!!!! Good to have u wif me if.........

Precisely, i won't b survivor in d dessert!

hahah.....my new pet ))) Sphinx


























Certainly shouldn't miss d chance to visit d mummies n treasury of King Tutankhamun in the Egyptian Museum. The spoky mummies were bloodcurling...yup..d admission was USD18 for mummy room n d entrance fee of Egpytian Museum was USD9.


d capital has subway system (Metro)...i had paid USD0.18 for train ticket went to Hanging Church n Coptic Museum which situated in Old Cairo!
Unfortunately, Coptic museum was closed.....

Cruise is always b d first choice to discover d glamour of the world's longest river~>Nile. Meantime, i was enjoying d traditional dance as well!


Grabbed d opportunity to take sm photo before d dinner buffet commence!!!

They were dancers tonight!!!

Oh,god!!!!! amazing.....























Shake..shake...shake......nice body????? it was belly dance!!!


Taxis are inexpensive and plentiful and the best way to get around the city quickly but will almost need the Arabic name of your destination. It's better to have the name written in Arabic rather than say the Arabic name!









Citadel is one of d world's greatest monuments to medieval warfare n became a popular tourist attraction in Cairo now!!



Hav u ever seen this elevator in your life??? i did experience it.....fantastic..

It's quite cool at night! i must wore 2 pants n 2 blouse to keep myself warm coz no heater provided!

Im glad to pay a visit bcoz there r so many marvellous things in Egpyt! My next trip could b Stonghenge in London, one of d 7 wonders .....
