It was hard trying to take a photo while I was riding along. I purposely took the last carriage so that I could take shots from the back.
We actually rode through a night market which had a narrow path. You can see how close the shops are to us on our right and left. The stalls selling clothes and fabric hang their goods above and across; creating an interesting "tunnel". This is one of my fave shots.
After the ride was over, the group of us decided to have a go at Shisha (Hookah). Most of us failed miserably at it as no matter how we sucked and sucked the hose and inhaled, we couldn't get any smoke out from us when we exhaled. So, I guess one could say that we truly sucked at it in the truest sense! Hahaha....Mohamad must have been laughing at us fools at that time and decided to show us how the Egyptians do it!

The next day, (with our heads cleared!) we were off to visit more temples. This time the Temple Of Karnak. Click HERE & HERE to read more about this place. This was another "National Geographic" moment for me.
See the broken statue with just the legs on the right? That is how they signify which of the statues were of the living and not the dead; those with the left feet forward.

Wow your pictures are amazing. I have traveled to South America, Western Europe, and Southern Africa. But I haven't been to Egypt yet.
ReplyDeleteBtw I just found a new travel site, baraaza.com. You should check it out and upload your pictures from Egypt.

Gee WMW, your Egyptian photos seem endless!! Did you have enough memory in the chip to store these bountiful photos? Taking lots of photos is a good way to cherish those wonderful moments and places. Agree?
