An adventure to the Middle East ( Part 1 ) The Magic of Egypt




Egypt is a lifetime destination.. in fact it is on my bucket list!! A must- see and it would be a shame not to visit Egypt at least once. Egypt occupies a unique position in the hearts and minds of travelers. For many, a trip to egypt is the fulfillment of a lifetime dream and every moment spent is one to be treasured. This country contains so many unbelievable treasures and indescribable temples and monuments. I went on this trip to Egypt with my good friends, Lulu and Ernie. I flew from Manila, while they flew in from Los Angeles. In fact it was Lulu who did all our arrangements.

Before going on this tour, I had to do a lot of researching on the Egyptian History. I have been through all the reviews posted on the internet... just to make sure I would not miss out on anything. Most of the sites  we visited, I already had a bit of background information that allowed me to appreciate what I was seeing. In case you are planning to take a trip to Egypt, I suggest that you do some reading of the history of Egypt before you go.

When we think about Egypt, camels, pyramids and mummies often enter our mind. That is not surprising since much of what we know about ancient Egypt comes from the tombs of the Egyptians and the objects found buried with them. No one knows exactly what life was like in ancient Egypt, but these objects tell us a lot. Their fashion, beliefs, and activities can be explored through the art they created and included in their burials.


Egypt is in northern Africa. It is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea , the Red Sea, Libya and Sudan. There are at least 69 million people residing in egypt. Their main language is Arabic. Their religion is Islam but there are some Christians too. The weather in Egypt is hot and dry in the summer and mild in winter.

Follow me and my blog as we go around Egypt... Let me share with you all the places where we visited.
