First day in Cairo



My first day in Egypt was split between sleeping, working and sightseeing at night. I've met here with Adham which is one hell of an interesting person and a really really cool host and friend. So thanks again Adham.
Harumi, Alexandra and friends – the latino girlfriends back in Dubai – which I don’t get to hang out that much unfortunately – are here for a short holiday. So we got to make up a little bit for the not hanging around Dubai. Adham took us to this mountain which has an amazing view to 40% of Cairo. Chilling there was a perfect way to end a day. Along with a taste of local koshary.
Oh - almost forgot about the introduction to Egyptian traffic and driving. A bit like Ghana, only that more speedy and random:P

Cairo




Hello everyone! It's been a while. Again. Anyways, the story goes like this - I have a lot of things to post about Dubai - new impressions, beach getaway, the awesome snorkeling session in Fujairah, but in the meantime I will be posting about Cairo.

Yup, I'm in Cairo for work purposes. It's my first work trip actually. Like ever. Although I won't have too much time to go sightseeing, I hope that I least get to see the pyramids.

So I will be here between 21st of March – 2nd of April with loads of work to do. Here are the first pics of Cairo I’ve taken from my hotel room. I'm staying at Royal Marshal hotel (aka Royal Crown Hotel), but let me tell you there is nothing royal about it. That's Ok cause I do have a nice view from my room. And wireless connection. :)
