Showing off: Egypt


I once wrote a post that was basically showing off Cairo. Beautiful, beautiful Cairo. Today, years and one revolution later, I would like to show more pictures of the city, but not only that - but pictures I took around Egypt. I have been visiting a few Delta governorates quite often lately, and some of them have absolutely breath-taking views!

Apart from the views, the Delta governorates have entire villages that work in the same economic activity pretty much; one village makes carpets, the other makes crates from palm leaf midribs, and so on.

And someone was getting married when I was visiting Menoufiya yesterday. I love how different weddings look in the countryside.

As much as I complain about my job, I love it, deep down. I am learning a lot! It's just that I miss my friends. And I miss this little man; if you have been reading my blog for a while, and if you still are, then you'll notice how much my little brother has grown, and it's a bit weird, but it doesn't make me love him any less!


PS the pictures here are no longer working, I think I might have accidentally deleted the album, a lot of photos are actually broken on my blog and I have no idea how to fix it. Speaking of Bikya, here's a photo of their beautiful wall(paper) (Maadi branch)
