Quoting AEnigma III: Welcome back Trudy 
I hope you had a great holiday! (Did CANLI invite you for tea?  ) |
Thanks, Aenigma. Yes, I had a great time. I saw many sites amongst of course the piramids of Gize and Djoser, Cairo museum with several mummies, 'death'-city (where people live in rooms next to graves), two markets, mosques, I climbed up a minaret, in Luxor I saw Karnak temple, Luxor temple, Luxor museum, Valley of the Kings, I made a balloon flight at 5.30AM to see the sun coming up above sites and desert and many more. I also was on a camel, I absolutely know now why they call it 'the ship of the desert'.... It was a very active vacation with not so much rest, so now I need time to sleep... Only the train from Cairo to Luxor I didn't like, 10 hours on a very dirty train with toilets that make you puke!
The food was great too - even though 18 of the 21 people in my group including myself suffered from 'Nile-belly'... but no tea....

Welcome back Trudy,glad that you've enjoyed it
Actually puplic transportation here is not that good,it has many leveles
Luxe ones and regular ones,even in buses inside town too,one with airconditions,and comfy chairs,and one very crowded and with no airconditions.
So we depend on the private cars,and you could hire a car for a day by '20$' i guess maybe it can be a bit more for tourists.
And that is same in trains too,there is the 'Spanish train' and 'express train' i believe those are the good ones,im not sure which one is better than the others,but the good one take the journey from Cairo to Luxor in 6 hours.
İ personally prefer plane in that long distance,its not expensive 'about 60$ ' and it takes only 1 hour.
No tea ?!tea and Şişe are famous in Hüssin,you should've gone to Khan El Khalili while you are in Cairo,you would smell the History there,its lovely,eating Kebab,or Küşari,and Fetir 'something like pide' are famous too along with many cafe's there.
Anyway,welcome back

Things are looking grim lately in the Forum of Love  . Is the second week of November the offical time to end your summer romances?
Perhaps our Turkish members could advise?
