The Mohammed Ali Mosque that overlooks all of Cairo.
Street-side view of people waiting for the bus. Notice the nice smog/dust floating in the air (welcome to the desert).
The government building and park next to our hotel as seen through our window.
Sunset from our faluka (boat) ride on the Nile our last night in Egypt.
Dinner platter at our hotel... assorted meats and fruits and vegetable.
Dusk on the Nile.
Sunset, street-side of the Nile.
The souvenirs I WISHED I could have brought home. I really wanted to get one of these cool lights/lanterns for Andy... he would have loved it.
DRIVING through the middle of the bazaar on a Friday night (our bus driver was brave).
Shoppers on the streets of Cairo.
A typical apartment highrise, common throughout the city.
The streets are filled with cars, bikes, motorcycles, camels, horses, donkeys driven carts, you name it!
The view of the pyramids from a gas station we stopped at. Just in case you were wondering, the pyramids are not in the middle of the desert, but in the middle of the city.
The Egyptian hospitality of serving us tea in every home we visited.
The dessert trays that managed to find us at every hospitality stop. Middle Eastern desserts are so good!
