On the go Egypt

Hello! It’s been some time since my last post on my weblog. Today I want to tell you slightly about Cairo and my rise into the top of the Great Pyramid in Giza.

Whenever I arrived at the airport in Cairo we understood that my hotel was located close to the Talaat Harb Square yet not where precisely. I needed to take the metro in the early morning to Ramses Station and attempt to find my hotel. I made the decision to attend outside but that has been a little problem. Around 10 men and women emerged in my opinion asking myself for taxis. It is hard to describe but i actually do maybe not trust anybody for the taxi motorists. My ideas had been: “Maybe the driver takes us to a side road and he will rob me”. After 2 hours sitting around and performing absolutely nothing I made a decision to take a taxi to my hotel.

Before we entered the taxi I made a fix cost using the motorist (160 EGP). Whenever I reached the hotel he desired 50€ from me. We eased and offered him the amount of money. We were holding my first impressions.

Talaat Harb Square

Talaat Harb Square from above. To have on rooftops in Cairo in center 's almost impossible. The security amount is large, armed troops everywhere. We felt safe but somehow maybe not.

Tahrir Square the area of the Egyptian Revolution. From above it seems purchased however, if you you will need to mix a street you're in a huge traffic chaos. I could only cross a street by following the residents.

I really could only spent 1 minute about this roof. Inside my visit the Chinese president was also there so the concern with an attack might be experienced.

Everything really have to say. The Arab individuals in my hotel were truly kind. They offered me personally tea as much as I wanted and provided me with tips the things I can do in Cairo. My hotel performedn’t feel like a hotel it believed like a person would host me personally inside the house. We had long conversations about interesting things.

The very next day I wanted to explore Cairo from preceding. From above everything changes. Regarding the streets every little thing appears to be noisy and disordered but from above it’s quiet and calm.

You can observe the Nile in back ground.

inside my visit the air had been never ever clear. Way too many people too-much exhaust gasoline floating around.

ERTU Building in Cairo

Cairo Tower (187m)

Within my go to I found around 5 various other tourists or less. Lots of people told me that tourism in Egypt is lacking. Following the Egyptian Revolution tourists are afraid to go to Egypt. it is actually unfortunate because Cairo is such an appealing city with a lot of record.

Today it is time for the best section of my check out. The pyramid of Giza. The past standing globe wonder. We took a taxi towards section of Giza where the pyramids are situated. The hotel arranged myself a taxi with a reasonable price.

It really is inconceivable that pyramids had been made with no machines. If you are standing as you're watching pyramid it’s spectacular.

Perambulating when you look at the complex I was waiting for just the right minute to begin climbing the fantastic Pyramid of Giza. When I began climbing a road vendor ended up being standing behind me but I didn’t love him I turned around he laughed and I also proceeded climbing.

During the 1 / 2 some people got interest on me and seemed around. That’s how the police spotted myself. They shouted some thing in Arabic I think but i did son’t treatment and held going while listening to songs.

From the top associated with the Cheops Pyramid. It took myself around 8 minutes to attain the top. Climbing down took me personally 20 mins. Safety first!

Inside background you can see Giza. Before my travel I wasn’t certain that it was a good idea to check-out Cairo but I happened to be happy that we moved truth be told there. Together against terror. In the last time there was clearly a terror assault close to the pyramids. A few people are killed. That made me also thoughtfully.
