One of the Gates - look outside, all you see is Desert. But why would you want to leave? heh
Outside my Favorite Cofffee Place!

Is that a tree? No, look closely! Its a designer antena tower dresed up as a tree ;-)
Costa Coffee - like Starbucks but less commercial. Any my latte is just .75 cents.
Her e is my favorite food joint - Shabrowies. Get your flat bread, hummus, burgers, fewsh juice, shwarma, all here, and all less than a buck!

Cool! Thanks for sharing. I see they have a Hardee's lol. What is the usual temperature there? It looks hot like Florida.
Today its 110 outside, thats why you don't see a lot of people in the pics.
Wow it looks so beautiful and clean!
Very clean I agree ;-)
in the summer, it was 135 a few days i went there. it was mad. where all have you been?
i loved luxor and aswan.





Wow, it really does look like Florida in a few of those pics. I can't believe how sparkling clean everything looks.





I can't believe how clean the city is. I want to visit Egypt now, totally.

dont be fooled cairo is not clean!!! thats like saying all of the usa is nice....





Would Cairo be safe to visit alone? I'm guessing it would be best to have someone with you. I would love to see the pyramids in my lifetime.
you live like an ivy vine
you can only survive by clinging onto trees
that's your flaw

cairo, i would not go alone as a woman. the streets are insane to cross, it litterally put the fear in me!
I first came to Cairo alone, and I felt safe. My girlfriend has visited me a couple times, and she is talking about moving here alone in January to teach.
If you were part of a tour, definetly it would be safe and comfortable.
In terms of being mugged or attacked or something, those behaviors are basically unherad of here.
The problem is the street harassment! Be prepared to DRESS more modestly or risk a day full of cat-calls from undersexed boys.
The driving is scary, total chaos, and crossing the road can be fucking scary!
Here is some more pics from OUTSIDE the compound... judge the garbage level for yourself:

Wow. It totally looks like a combo of LA and FL!! I expected it to be more...exotic I guess. I dont know..I think I pictured sphinx's everywhere or something..lol!!
Here is the police officer at the pyramids on camel:
And my dog... (ok, ok, she is not Egyptian)
The beach in Alexandria

Pyramids
More pyramids
And more of my sweet little doggie
PS my condo in the compound is available for rent all winter for $600 per month, 3 bedrooms...
That looks super! I'll get to Egypt one day, I'm excited for it.
Feature costumes for sale!





your dog is so cute! I wanna go to egypt!!
Funny, reminds me of the edges of Vegas, not Florida. FLorida is much more lush and green than that.
What are you doing for work in Egypt? Do many people speak English or do you speak their language? (Which is what?) I am very interested in all this. Seems very cool.![]()




Egypt looks really beautiful. Are the pictures of Cairo?
