Back in Libya

Well, Ive been back for a week now, but was busy with some stuff, so I am going to put up some pics from Egypt in the meantime..

Just to say one thing - I loved Cairo!! Loved it!



Corniche promenade in Cairo. It was just sooo refreshing to see young couples meeting in public like this. 




Corniche again. People strolling along or just hanging out.




View of Cairo from the pyramides plateau. This populated area on the picture used to be agricultural land with rich and fertile black silt. Until someone decided to take it and bake it in the ovens and make bricks for ugly buildings that were then built there and left unpainted. Guy on the camel is regular at the pyramides. 20 pounds, my friend, 20 pounds!! And a bit more for my children...
 



View of pyramides and Sphinx from nearby caffe. We came to the site in the afternoon and ended up staying until it was closed. The pyramides, not the caffe.



Traffic in Cairo. This picture does not do it justice.
