I was in Egypt for the last 6 days. I've decided the best way to travel is when you have an outline but fill in the adventure as you go along. Traffic is crazy, sometimes theres lane lines mostly not, people cross the street through 4 lanes of traffic. Food is super cheap. Tombs, temples, museums impressive. I wish I knew what the hierogliphics meant. Not diverse, all arab, 80% muslim. Poor country but I wouldn't say impoverished. I've been to Africa. I probably got 30 mosquito bites. The Giza pyramids are exactly how you would imagine them, just closer to the city than expected.
Food-- Koshary-- mix of maccaroni noodles, spegetti noodles, rice pilof, tomato sauce, beans, fried onions. Usually comes in these plastic top roman looking bowls but the best pic i got of it was from a resteraunt
My favorite was this juice bar, fresh squeezed OJ, smoothie type drinks and sugarcane juice for 40 cents each.
