My 2nd entry for the adventure.....
We've spent there about 2 weeks, I've been to - Cairo, Alexandaria, Tanta, and Sinai.
Visiting those places who had significant history to the ancient world and Islam.
The very 1st day, we hired a taxi and went to the Giza pyramids (hey, I already visited the last standing 7 wonders of the ancient world!!), Sallehudin's Fort, Imam Syafie Mosque, Al Hussein Mosque, Khan el-Khalili bazaar, Al-Azhar University and mosque, Amru AlAsr Mosque and the list goes on and forth.
A lot of interesting places in Cairo itself, not to mention other cities.
Our trip there were the most interesting of all.
It's as such a big history textbook infront of us - you can learn the early human's history and how Islam make it way to Egypt and be the part of Egyptian's way of life.
So the Land of Pharaoh, now become The Land of Prophet - the land blessed by Allah with Islam.
