  • Trip to Egypt (Pictures)

    Well, I got the CD with the pics from my trip to Egypt in the mail today, so I decided to post a few. Please let me know what you think!


    The view from our hotel room. We were there for three nights I believe...


    One of the smaller pyramids...


    The pyramids were huge....


    Another must-see...


    Taken from the grounds of the hotel...


    I spent about a week at South Camp, Multinational Force and Observers. The beach looks so close but so far in this picture...

    In memoriam...(sorry about the shadow).



    Our scuba dive boat didn't quite make it to Saudi Arabia due to a slight problem (we were the rescuers, not the ones needing rescued)


    We decided to dive here instead...



    One final picture-

      very nice pictures. seems like your hotel was in a beautiful area - great view of the pyramids.
      "The Director also sets the record straight on what would happen if oxygen masks were to drop from the ceiling: The passengers freak out with abandon, instead of continuing to chat amiably, as though lunch were being served, like they do on those in-flight safety videos."

              Nice pics!



              How long has the ship been there??

              What happened to it, that caused them to just leave it there?

                    Thanks for your comments everyone...

                    How long has the ship been there??

                    What happened to it, that caused them to just leave it there?
                    The ship ran into the reef and was destroyed beyond repair. I believe this happened around 20 years ago. I'm not sure exactly why they decided to leave it there, other than the fact that it would probably be a pain to move.

                    Wnice, did you stay at the Mena hotel? thats near the pyramids if my memory serves me correctly. i was there in 2000 and have fond memories! did you get out to Saqara and Dashuar and Memphis?
                    Yes, the hotel was the Mena hotel. It waas absolutely beautiful; I would recommend it to anyone who visits Egypt.

                    I didn't get to visit Saqara, Dashuar, or Memphis. I spent a few nights in Cairo, then a few weeks in the Sinai desert (approx. 6 miles from the Gaza strip). I also spent a few days near Sharm el Sheikh, and then headed back north again.

                    One thing I have to say- One of Egypt's best qualities is its people. I admit, I was a bit nervous before I got there, but everyone there was so friendly and helpful. There is nothing really to be afraid of (except riding in a cab in Cairo! That puts NYC taxi drivers to shame! ).

                    Damn Homie! That Sh*t is mad ill! Streight gangsta! WORD BIATCH! LOL (I mean, thanks for the pics!)
                    Believe it or not, there are some Egyptians who talk like that!

                    Some of them seem to envy American "gangstas!"

                            You know this? Flash Airlines was crashed into the sea last year.

                            I seen the place when I watched the amazing race in Eqypt.
