Cairo & Sharm el Sheikh Trip

Hey, here are 20 out of ca 900 pictures from our Trip to Cairo and Sharm el Sheikh.
Our Trip started last week Wednesday. After our training in the hospital we left towards Cairo.
It took aprox. 3 hours until we arrived at our Hotel where we stayed for one night.
The first pictures u see are taken from the Cairo Tower which is on a island in the middle of the Nile. A very beautiful view... i had to cut down the quality of the pictures a bit because the internet is crazy slow here, i´ll upload the big ones when i´ll be back in Germany. We were witnesses seeing a Moon-rise over Cairo .... stunning

After that we went to eat Kushari (i hope thats how u write it) a traditional food here.
Rice with Pasta some tomato-meat sauce, dry onions and some other stuff.... (picture next time).

The next day we were riding on camels to the Pyramids .... that was for sure one of the highlights here in Egypt so far. Eventhough it was insanely hot, the beautiful view and camel-ride made it more than worthy. After that we went to the Egyptian Museum ... unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures ... so i can only recommend u to see it yourself :)

Close to the museum were 2 huge mosques ... again very beautiful took many pictures, coming soon =) here are two of them .... once me sitting in a mosque and another with 2 guys sleeping..
its a really interesting atmosphere in there.... very peaceful & relaxing .....

At night we had to leave to Sharm el Sheikh (its on the asian part of Egypt / Sinai).... aprox. 9 hours .... fortunately we had an air conditioning system in the bus ... arriving at Sharm in the early morning i was quite shocked ...
having like 45 degrees at 8 o´clock is impossible to explain by words.

Sharm is a diving paradise so we went for a diving lesson the other day.
Another experience i´m glad i had the chance to make.
Some pictures u´ll find at the bottom of my posts.



further plans :

tomorrow we will leave to Siwa, a Oasis in the middle of the desert. There is going to be a huge meeting of all the incoming exchange students from all over the world.
On our way back we´ll have one day in Alexandria... so more picture to come... stay tuned ;)

Alright thats it for today,
2 weeks to go :) , see you soon

Chris
