Off to Greece
Work in Cairo is all done, so i decided to go from there directly to Greece..the plan was that a friend will also leave Kuwait to meet me in Athens and from there we will catch the first plane to any of the islands.
All went according to plan and we are at a beach in Zakynthos now, talk about planing 😉

Egypt Visit -the round up-
Filed under: Clubs, Coffee, Egypt, Food, Nature, Night Life, Restaurants, Reviews, Travel, Water Sports
Cairo,
Make sure you stay at a 10 Stars hotel –Sofitel El Gezirah is good-, you don’t need to spend more than 2 days there…the morning of the first day you visit the pyramids and museum in the afternoon you find a good restaurant and have lunch -grilledfried sea food is your safest bet, then go back to the hotel for a siesta.
In the evening you could take a Nile tour -hotels have the best ones- at night around 1 am find a good night club to watch belly dancing because you didn’t visit Cairo if don’t do a belly dance night.. at 7am you leave the night club back to hotel have breakfast and sleep.
Night clubs: Samire Amis Intercontinental and a couple at Haram St.
Restaurants: Abu El Seed, and Nile City.
Coffee: On The Go at any gas station, Bottled Water: Nestle
Don’t ask taxi drivers or waiters for recommendations, only ask the concierge or do some googling. Read more
A valid reason to go to Sharm
Saw this poster, and thought i should share it…i love the Boney M, back in the days they were “Z” band -yes am that old – i love their music danced to it and still do.
Egyptian movies were the only movies that played Boney M music at the time where the Boney M were way out of fashion…we used to make fun of the people who danced to their music is these movies.
Ironically the Boney M -or what is left of them- will perform is Sharm El Sheikh end of July thru mid August.

واركب الحنتور…واتحنتر
Cairo is very crowded and the traffic is awful, there is nothing to do in the morning other than visiting the Pyramids or the museum and this is what we did on Friday.
The best thing to do is to rent a Karta -Hantour- and the guide will show you everything and recite the history of the Pyramids-he can do it in 6 languages-, then he’ll take you to a perfume shop..don’t let them lure to any of that.. don’t even go in.
Working hard
The past 3 days were very hectic, waking up at 6am…commuting for 2 hours working tell 7pm then commuting back 3 hours -bad traffic-, tomorrow is an off day so i’ll be going out today don’t know where yet but i will not sleep…will probably sleep tomorrow by the pool.
Oh.. and that guy in the photo got a bit over excited..
Abo el Seed
I was told not to eat and not to drink but i did…we had dinner yesterday at a place called Abo El Seed, its a cosy restaurant in the Zamalek area, they serve local cuisine -i did not know they had anything other than El Fool-.
The food was good, and what’s even better is that 24 hours has passed with no side effects, we had some local starters then a couple of Tagine dishes and finally Fetair Mishlitet.
Welcome to Eygpt…Eygption money no dollar
Had to leave to Eygpt with a client, we will be staying till July 11, working the first 6 days then off to Sharm to relax…so far so good so funny.

Tehran..Until we meet again
I got back this morning and went strait to the office..the trip was really exciting, and the best part is that you get to see and feel the real thing, watching, reading, and listing to the media can be very very deceiving…i was really impressed how the country is well developed, clean -no litter, very polluted thou- and how its people work hard to make a living…
People from all around the world come to do business..am gussing i was the only tourist at the hotel, it was full of business people and you can hear their conversations while in the lobby having coffee.. its all about business deals
