THINGS I LOVE ABOUT EGYPT

1. The people and that simplicity of daily living. Starting with the clothing and till the smiles you see when they meet each other on the streets. In Egypt I didn’t see drunk people on the street which was a big thing for me. Everyone is doing anything to earn a living and making everything possible to survive in any conditions. 2. The genuine humor. Many times I saw the people finding some facts comic, facts that for me as European was something which would make me laught years ago not today. They still find random events as being funny, they make fun in a very old style, for us westerns, but is a type of humor I missed.

So there are mosques for Muslims to pray in and there are churches for the Christians. If you are a Christian you know that in the church can enter men and women in the same space and pray together. However, in the mosques there is a more solid segregation. In the main space can enter only men. There i

THINGS NO ONE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT EGYPT

What you already know about Egypt is that it's a country with great monuments and with a history full of ups and downs. Everywhere you find information about ancient Egypt and Egyptians, but what about the nowadays Egypt ? Of course that the history is important, but we live and get to see what Egypt has to offer today. Here are things no one will tell you about, especially in the actual political and social national and international situation. 1. Egypt is safe! One of the questions most foreigners ask is about safety in Egypt. Being an Islamic and middle eastern country and having some internal conflicts in the past years, make people ask themselves many times if it's OK to travel here. I live here for more than 3 years already and I didn't face and conflict or I'm not scared to be here. And I'm not the only foreigner I know that said the same thing. Egypt is safe! 2. Egyptians are united and nationalists. Even though you might hear some of them speak
