cairo

the jewel of the orient, the city of the thousand minarets, and the melting pot of ancient and modern egyptian civilizations

i spent only one day in cairo but it was amassing!! it was a day trip from alexandria ....one of the best days in my life.. entering the pyramid...sailing in the nile at night.... anyway, im sure there is much more left to see next time:) click on each picture to read more...

the pyramids of giza, perhaps above all other buildings on the face of the earth represent the single greatest mystery of all time. actually, that was the main thing tempting me to come to egypt...and it was worth it!!!... it even exceeded my expetations:))

virgin mary church in Maadi district is the historic coptic church built upon the spot from which the holy family embarked, also dedicated to the virgin, is further identified by the denominative, 'al-adaweya', the virgin's church 'of the ferry'.

the greatest collection of egyptian antiquities is egyptian museum in cairo. ive spent there many hours and still haven't seen everything....
