Travel can be splendid. Exhilrating.
Unbelievable!
After spending a fantastic day visiting the Great Pyramids of Giza (Cairo, Egypt), all the Pharonic history, the sand & sun, camel rides and souvenirs, the first thing you see when you leave is a KFC!
I thought it was typical on this age of 'globalization' and snapped this shot showing the reflection of the pyramid on KFC's store front glass.
Cairo (Arabic: القاهرة), which means "The Vanquisher" or "The Triumphant", is the capital city of Egypt. Cairo was founded in AD 969 and is the sixteenth most populous metropolitan area in the world, as well as the most populous metropolitan area in Africa .
Cairo is located on the banks and islands of the Nile River in the north of Egypt.
Must-Sees in Cairo!:
- The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, is home to the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the world.
The Farafra Oasis (Arabic: الفرافرة) is the smallest oasis located in Western Egypt, near latitude 27.06° North and longitude 27.97° East. It is located in the Libyan Desert, approximately mid-way between Dakhla and Bahariya.
Farafra has an estimated 5,000 inhabitants (2002) living witin its single village and is mostly inhabited by the local Bedouins.
No not the one in Cairo - this Sphinx is much smaller and in Alexandria on Egypt's Mediterranean coast. Being smaller you can get much closer to it and touch it etc
The Abu Simbel Seti Hotel in Egypt. Sitting poolside, seeing the clear blue water of the pool, nile, and desert.
The mighty sand dunes of the western Sahara... Located few kilometers away from the village of Farafra, basically one of the oasis of Egypt.
The most serene place i have ever visited on this planet so far...
Shall I go?
Shall I stay?
107 light years away, many times, so many doubts...
But no reason to talk about...
Mission is over, mission is done,
I'll miss you children of the sun
But it's time to go away, Goodbye, Goodbye Milky way!
For a better world without hate, from your heart believe in fate
Only visions and the mind will guide you to the light.
