Take the ferry from the public landing on the East side of the Nile in Luxor and cross the Nile. When you get off the ferry turn left, to the main road that passes through el Gezira and walk up over the canal bridge on the left hand side.
Then you will reach a funny corner in the road and see two small streets going of down on the left hand side.
One leads to the little masjid,but follow the other that goes past the newly painted houses in bright blues and pinks. These are the homes of the Nubian families who recently made hadj and are so very proud to announce it to the world that they traditionally paint their homes on their return.
Keep going down the one way cobbled street past all these cute little homes.
The people will wave and say "Hi" as if you know them, that is just how people are here.
When you get to the end of the little street you will see a high cream painted stone wall covered with Bougainvilleas with high wrought iron gates. Open the gate, or more likely a little old man will run and open it for you and there you are .
Right at my little piece of paradise on this earth.
Go up the front steps and into the lounge then turn to your right and you will see a single plain door. Open it ( unless the sign is up but I will make sure it isn't) and follow the staircase. Eventually you will get to the roof and find me sitting there in my roofgarden sipping a coffee while I muse on the sights of the Nile to Luxor.
It won't matter whether you come in the morning, afternoon or the night the view is always spectacular and the smell of the herb lawn and all the plants and creepers is always beautiful and exotic.
Hurry up please!

Aaahhhhh so many places, so many memories. In Cairo I loooooove the Cairo tower ... I'll tell you why later in private ;) I love a certain branch of Tikka, and a certain branch of house of donuts! I have a love/hate relation with cinema Iltahreer! You must think I'm crazy but you will be sure I'm totally nuts when I add the parking lot near Ain Shams Uni to the list! looooooool I'll tell you why later! hehehe

This may make more sense, the corniche in Alex and Hurghada where I spent my honey moon.

I did find a place that will stay with me forever; I went there regularly to think. By day this place seems dry & dull, but at night it takes on a new perspective. I found it by accident, I was cutting through the famous old Winter Palace hotel (Luxor) grounds to go home after work & as I stepped out of the hotel foyer into the garden I was greeted with the sweet smell of night flowering Jasmine. This stopped me in my tracks, I looked around & I was alone there, I thought what harm for me to sit for a while by the pool. So I walked on through to the pool & lay down on a sun bed, closed my eyes & drank in the heady scent of the jasmine. When I opened my eyes the garden had taken on a surreal quality I had not seen by day, it was quiet for a start, all the noise of the city had disappeared, just a few crickets singing in the trees. Small lights to guide the guests were now lighting up the palms which seem to reach so high up into the night sky, they almost seem to touch the stars, creating a cathedral like cavern over me. The jasmine bushes around me seemed to be alight with the bright white of their blooms, their scent making my body feel alive & sensual. The sky was clear & the stars appeared to be changing colours as they twinkled. I lay there for a long time just seeing, & I felt at peace for the first time since I had moved to Egypt, after that I went there often & especially when I was troubled & I always left with a feeling of peace. I wonder who sits there now, has anyone since discovered this place of tranquilly? What a find, more precious than any ancient tomb.

I have fallen in love with Sharm el Sheikh and its people. Have been there on holiday more than once and the people are so friendly.
My memories are sitting on the balcony of our hotel and looking at the sunset, making Egyptian friends we kept in touch with, being greeted by the young male receptionist when we went back the second year because he remembered us from the year before, as did the restaurant manager.
But the best memory was having a 6.30am swim at the hotel pool and the one of the maintenance men was repairing one of the steps going into the pool, he was going to climb into the water with his clothes on to get a nut off, so i swam over and said i'd do it for him, He was astonished that a guest would do that...but i did. The look on his face was a picture. He was so nice......lol. Always had a big smile on his face

"GIFT OF THE NILE"
THE GREEK HISTORIAN HERODOTUS, HAS RIGHTLY CALLED EGYPT AS THE "GIFT OF THE NILE". THE NILE IS THE CHEIF RIVER OF EGYPT. THE ANCIENT CULTURE OF EGYPT EXTENDED FROM THE PRESENT ASWAN DAM TO THE MOUTH OF THE NILE. THE ALLUVIAL SOIL OF THE NILE VALLEY, EASY TRANSPORT MADE POSSIBLE BY THE RIVER AND THE RESUTANT FLOURSHING TRADE ENABLE THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS TO ACHIEVE AN ALL-ROUND DEVELOPMENT.

I love Rehab. I lived there for one month. Grand Cafe holds some nice memories, too.

But my favorite place would have to be Diwan the bookstore on 26th of July.

Everything that I remember from Cairo 1963 is probably gone.
I remember the ( then brand new) Nile Hilton! Spectacular. So spectacular, in fact, that Egypt put an illustration of the Nile Hilton on its postage stamps reading "Modern Egypt" in spite of the fact that it was an American hotel.
I think my favorite memory is the Grand Hotel on the Nile
or Mena House, outside of Giza...
The perfumed smell of garlic, jasmine and burned wood in Cairo is etched forever into my memory.

SHARM EL-SHEIK NO DOUBT.
A PLACE FROM HEAVEN WHERE I HAD A SWEET HONEYMOON.....I AM SURE I WILL NOT GO THERE AGAIN BECAUSE IF I GO TO THERE NOW I MAY GET A SWEET DIVORCE AS I WILL SEE SOME REAL WOMEN THERE....LOL.

The old masjid at the citadel, to pray where Salahuddin prayed, is a great feeling....To see the Nile river where Musa(as) was placed as a baby....To see the area of the pyramids where Idris (as) was said to be from....To actually see the pyramids and know that Musa(as) destroyed (by the grace of Allah) the most evil and powerful man on earth....That is Alllll the pyramids are good for, is a reminder of the religion of Allah(swt) can and will triumph over the mushriks....it is worthless to see or study them for anyother reason, except one that reminds u of HIS (swt) power, and that all that man makes, crumbles on the day of judgement if not before....
