I am not a gift...I am a surprise :)

First time we went to Cairo on excursion.What can I say...we saw pyramids,but it was not Cairo,it was Giza! Giza is situated on the other side of Nile.
That is why next year went to Cairo ourselves by bus.
I can say it was comfortable and fast.Much faster than tourist one.
All the way we watched Arabic movie, veeeeery loud!

This is Cairo early morning. It seems to be in light smoke...and it is really so

Egyptians going to the Mosque...


We are inside when tourists were allowed to enter it(the pray was over)


Here is anothe view from the top of minarete.
Mostly Egyptioan houses do not have roofs!
They are satnding without roofs there,no finished.
Why?First of all because they do not have rain there.
And the next,the real reason is:
when the house is finished they must pay taxes,but if no...they must not.
So...if a son want to have his own house he just build one floor more
and again the last one will not have roof.
See how different they are...
Some of them are cahrming and beautiful .. others...


Some more pics of Cairo
It is a very large city,nobody knows exectly.
people say that there are 20 mln of pople live there!


Cairo is full of such cars..fiat
You cannot imagine how many those big ladies sat in?!

7!!!
So...what is Cairo for me?
It is a huge, gray, loud, unusual and dirty city.
Did I liked it? Yes!!!!!!!!!!Very much!
Why? because Cairo is Cairo..you cannot compare it with others cities.
You may love it or not love,I loved!
