- MAY 9 - SUEZ CANAL, EGYPT We entered the Suez Canal early this morning; Captain Vorland was very pleased: we got spot number one in the Northbound convoy! [img=https://photos.travellerspo Posted by Swenigale in Serenity 9 | May 9, 2018
- Revisits, Refreshing, and ReunionsEveryone's experience on the train was a little different. I slept reasonably well, though the train was loud, the rails uneven, and our quite antiquated car squeaked incessantly. Anna said she "wasn't sure" if she slept, whereas K Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- From Temples to Trains, Ruins to RailsThe sandstorm had continued through most of the night. Early in the evening, we heard noise as the crew furiously tried to secure all of the chairs on the sun deck above us, but beyond that, the noise did Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- Basking in Glory, Baking the SunThe previous day, Friday had spoken to us about a couple of additional activities we might want to book. The first was a hot-air balloon ride at Luxor, to watch the sun rise over the Valley of the Kings. Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- Relaxing Amid the Ruins The distance between Aswan and Luxor on the river is only about 120 miles, and as we were traveling with the current, there was not much ground to co Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- On the Water AgainDuring our arrival in Aswan the day before last, our local tour director had asked us if we had interest in touring a Nubian village. He explained that we would have some time on this day, Monday morning, before Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- Alone in the Wilderness We already knew it would be a very short night, and we had a wake-up call scheduled for 6:30am. Despite being so tired, I woke up around 5:00a Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- From Lower to Upper Egypt As we had now essentially doubled our ti Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- So Thankful for the Extra TimeAs I mentioned, we booked through a local company, and we had customized several parts of the trip. That original itinerary, however, meant that our first planned day in Egypt would be a whirlwind of activity to try and Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- Passing Out by the PyramidsEgypt's population continues to explode, and there are now just shy of 100 million Egyptians, 29 million of whom live in the greater Cairo area. For anyone who has not witnessed Egypt in general, or Cairo in particular, it Posted by NellieVA in An Egypt-licious Spring Break! | Apr 8, 2018
- Cruise TimeYesterday, I left Luxor for a two day cruise on a riverboat. I didn't have much hopes for this little cruise-but it has turned out to be quite a nice diversion. The room was nice but not luxurious. there is good food Posted by DavidPearlman in World Trip #2 | Mar 23, 2018
- Day in LuxorYesterday I had an all day tour to different sites in Luxor-namely the West and East banks of the Nile. I went to a few incredible Temples on the West Bank of the Nile, weather that was incredibly Posted by DavidPearlman in World Trip #2 | Mar 20, 2018
- Cairo to LuxorYesterday, I flew to Luxor from Cairo. The taxi picked me up at 11:40 for a 2:00 pm flight-and the traffic was horrendous. The driver said to me "You should have left at 11:00-who told you to leave at 11:30? Posted by DavidPearlman in World Trip #2 | Mar 19, 2018
- Cairo-not for beginnersAnother day in Cairo. For my stay here in the hostel, the staff has been trying to convince me to go on a tour of Egypt that includes a cruise for like $405.00. I want to see Egypt but I Posted by DavidPearlman in World Trip #2 | Mar 18, 2018
- Cairo Museum DayYesterday, I went to the Cairo Museum which was a few blocks from the hostel. The museum is in a big imposing building in the middle of downtown, and appears to be like a museum of any city, except Posted by DavidPearlman in World Trip #2 | Mar 17, 2018
- Discouraged from Walking Like An Egyptian at the PyramidsYesterday, I set out to go the great pyramids in Giza. This wasn't as easy as it sounds. (1) First, I took the metro to the Giza station-roughly a 1/2 hour ride. (2) I got off at the station. Posted by DavidPearlman in World Trip #2 | Mar 17, 2018
- There's something About OmanYesterday, I woke up at approximately 3:30 am to get the fly to Cairo, or rather I didn't get to sleep-in anticipation of missing my flight. The flight out of Oman was actually at 8:00 am-but with all the problems Posted by DavidPearlman in World Trip #2 | Mar 15, 2018
- Camel Love Having the great luck to already be across the pond in Leeds England at a policing conference, I found a great deal on a flight to Cairo, via Milan.......Never been to Egypt before......seemed like a good idea. Posted by EverywhereStill in Adventures by EverywhereStill | Sep 6, 2005
- Back in CairoCairo where old and new collide. The recently built road, Ring Road, appropriately named as it makes a ring around the outskirts of the city, is effectively a highway yet besides cars there are horse and donkey drawn carts carrying Posted by KatetheCatLady in Karen's Around the World Catcation | Dec 13, 2017
- The Red SeaMost of the group had a different tour which included Jordan, but not the Red Sea portion of Egypt. The Red Sea group ended up just being the two California girls and I. We got to the all inclusive resort Posted by KatetheCatLady in Karen's Around the World Catcation | Dec 13, 2017
- Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Temple and Karnak TempleDay six was another early morning as I decided to do the hot air balloon flight. It turned out to be a little underwhelming, though we did see a few temples and the valley of the kings from above and Posted by KatetheCatLady in Karen's Around the World Catcation | Dec 12, 2017
- Another Day of TemplesOn day five the first stop was to Edfu Temple, the temple dedicated to Horas the Falcon god. The layout was the same as the temples of the time, open court for anyone to visit, pylon, columns,courtyard, hall, and sanctuary.

- Abu Simbel and Felucca Ride Those of us that choose the pricey but totally worth it add on option of visiting Abu Simbel had an early start. All the tourist buses are required to leave together in a caravan of sorts for the three hour Posted by KatetheCatLady in Karen's Around the World Catcation | Dec 9, 2017
- AswanIn Aswan we headed to the High Dam. The dam was built in the 1960’s with the help of Russian engineers. It’s the only dam in Egypt and the majority of the water supply in Egypt is supplied by the Posted by KatetheCatLady in Karen's Around the World Catcation | Dec 9, 2017
- The Great Pyramids and Egypt Museum I had gotten a little sneak peak of the Great Pyramids from the al fresco dinning and pool area of my hotel the night before, but it was time to see them close up. We started out at the biggest Posted by KatetheCatLady in Karen's Around the World Catcation | Dec 8, 2017
