Post for: 9th April 2008

OMG… after i finished writing this post only realize that the post i writing is actually Day 4… -_-” where’s Day 3? hehehe.. will update Day 3 tomorrow k… phew.. i think jetlag too serious d… hahaha (simply say jetlag punya problem haha… actually i too blur d…)


Where is this place? can you see the Cafe which the sign of the shop is in green color? This Cafe is called the Layaly El-Housein Cafe… this is the Cafe that our tour guide show us… what’s with this Cafe? hehe.. this is the gathering point… if we done our shopping we can just wait the others here… ^^


we did went in to the Cafe… not to wait for others.. is just to prepare ourself… get ready for SHOPPING… ya… actually we borrowed their toilet.. keke… and the toilet here is free…


hehe… now got time.. ok.. let’s take picture with our leng lui tour guide… check her out guys and girls.. she’s really pretty lor… and she’s really nice, friendly and sweet too…


ok.. is Brandon’s turn to take picture with Reham d…


what’s this building? this is just part of it.. cause i can’t get to take the full picture of the whole building.. so i divided it into few parts.. hehehe.. actually if really want.. can take whole building in one picture… just that i shy.. cause have to lie down to the floor and take.. and there’s too many people around already…


between this building and the shop lot… there’s the place we suppose to shop….


As what i know this building is actually a mosque… which is called El-Housein.. not sure i spell it correctly or not…


OMG.. this is the first kebab restaurant i saw in Egypt.. and.. we didn’t try.. cause full lar…


war.. people selling pita bread… just like that.. so OPEN air one… i think added quite a lot of natural salt and pepper too.. keke


this is another street that we walk… which have nothing much to shop.. but we get to see lots of buntings around… not sure what’s this… (as i know.. when we was there.. the day before.. they actually have protest there… still can see quite a lot of police guiding there… the Tour Leader keep telling us that.. don’t go further.. cause further which is out of the area where there police will take care of… if we really want to go there… can.. we take our own risk.. hmm.. sound so scary can? However… those dangerous place is the place where we can get cheaper price.. -_-” omg.. so like that should we go further or not? take the risk or not?)


end up we didn’t take the risk.. we just go to the street where the Tour Guide pointed to.


OMG… here really got a lot of jewelery, but i didn’t buy any. Why? cause too many is hard to choose.


OMG… what’s this bottle.. so nice can? hint hint.. i bought some oooo…


this is one of the famous product that people will buy from egypt.. the scarf… i did bought two… but both are not for me. is for my mum and sis.. i wonder they will like it or not… hmm


besides that we saw lots of shisha bottle around too… and this is the tallest and biggest i saw for the whole Khalili Bazaars… is HUGE…


more pita bread in the Bazaars… lots of local bought from them…


did you see anything that you like? in Khalili Bazaars you get to see lots of shop like this, or maybe shops that full with silver or even gold.


this is another shop that you will get to see for the whole Khalili Bazaars, which sell combination of things which made from Egypt…


This is another famous product from egypt. the silver plate with design on it. is nice.. but heavy.. and my room.. is already full with things, so i don’t i can put anywhere if i buy it.. -_-


check out this photo.. on the right side of this photos, there’s more shops over there.. and guess what.. there’s where we went for the 5th Day in Egypt.


after shopping at khalili Bazaar. next we gonna go for… LUNCH…


as usual.. is JAM… from this photo you understand how they drive right… the lines on the road is kind of useless.. cause none of them will follow the lines.. and yet.. no accident…

After some JAM.. finally we reach the place to eat…


ei.. wait.. this car look familiar… the number plate is “514613″ yeah yeah.. i can read the number d… oh wait.. that’s not what i want to tell.. is WIRA… PROTON WIRA….


ok.. after the phee pha pha with the wira.. lets go inside.. enjoy our dinner… oops.. i mean lunch…


ok.. Buffet again… as usual they have the salad.. rice, fish, chicken… blablablablablabla…


photos of brandon aunt and uncle… and this is how the restaurant look like… oh ya.. is actually a boat… park by the Nile River.


this is what i got… the cucumber, pasta, salad, mash potatoes and a bit of rice…


seriously the mash potatoes here.. AWESOME… nice.. superb… is far better than what we have in KFC even without any gravy… OMG
Yummy Rating: 10/10


this is how it looks from the windows… that’s the river…

After lunch we walk around and take photos.. i like the decoration here lar… like church a bit… and nice lor…


after some photos in the cruise.. then.. what? go out lor… before that.. take a bit of myself again…


then what else? wait for the others somewhere near the bus… and suddenly there’s people approach us.. to buy the papyrus…


then chit chat a bit.. blablabla…

then next.. is the Museum turn… yeap.. we gonna visit the Egypt museum which have lots of historical things in there.. you will get to see the Queen Hatshepsut mummy at the Royal Mummy Room which you need to pay another EGYPT Pount 100 (which is around RM60) did i went in? nope i didn’t cause Brandon’s cousin who went to egypt before told him that is nothing special in the Royal Mummy Room.. that’s why we didn’t go.. and.. some of the colleague said… even.. we went in there.. we wont know that’s the real Royal Mummy or not. Since we didn’t know them mar.. -_-” i was like… why would them lie to you if is not a real Royal Mummy? Nvm… i try google… i can see as well.. from different angle somemore… see them in google.com. there’s a lot to see, somemore is FREE.. here’s the Link

Who’s Queen Hatshepsut?
Hatshepsut dressed herself in the most sacred of the Pharaoh’s clothing, mounted the throne, and proclaimed herself Pharaoh of Egypt. She ruled Egypt for twenty-one years. She also moved to strengthen the position of Egypt within Africa by making peace with the tribes of Kush (or Nubia) and sending missions to the nations along the East African coast, as far south as Punt (present day Somalia). One of Hatshepsut’s crowning achievements was dis- patching a mission to a kingdom in Asia (now India).

After i heard of the process of how they make the mummies… i was thinking… in that case.. egypt should be quite famous with Perfume, since long long time ago they already know how to use the perfume to for the mummies… hmm… lets see if they will bring us to anywhere which related to perfume…

After that the next station is the Crystal Perfume & Handicraft…


There you go… we really gonna visit the Perfume factory.. to know how they process the perfume…


they have lots of sourceto produce perfume. and all of them are natural source


they have this Bittle Apple.. hmmm


is this lavendar?


see so many… so which one you like?


what’s with all this?


they actually have a guide from this shop which will tell us the whole process of making the perfume…


blablablablablabla


then in the end they bring us to a room, where they will have another sales person to intro the final product.. the perfume.. to us… as they told us.. the perfume they have is non alcoholic.. is pure perfume… so we don’t need to worry about it at all..


Besides perfume they have Essence and Aromatherapy too… some of the Aromatherapy can use it to cure headache or other sickness. they even let us to try it out… not sure it works or not cause i didn’t try…

But i did smell some of the perfume they have… really nice… i mean smell really nice and really long lasting…


after all the intro, they show us the prices… hehe… did i buy any? nope.. hehehe.. cause i got too many perfume at home.. some i havent even start using it.. -_-”


so many perfume… which one you like?


see.. so many choices… -_-” see only also can faint… if they ask me to try smell everything here.. i think i will really faint…


there’s lots of nice crystal here… but the main point of this photos is not the crystal.. is Brandon and me.. hehehe.. jk jk…


the crystal they have there is really nice..


before we go for our dinner… i saw something on the table… check this out they have our currency.. the RM 1….

ok.. is time for dinner.. tonight… our dinner gonna be a bit special… we going to take a cruise… which will be on the Nile River… The Cruise that we gonna take is called Nile Crystal… is something special, which i haven’t try before.. and this is the first time having dinner in the cruise which will drive us for a distance to see the view beside Nile River.

After her performance… we decided to go out to have a walk….


wow.. even the entrance of the Cruise is in Pyramid shape…


Night view at Nile River… not sure what building is this… hmm.. should be the Four Season Hotel, not sure about it…


there’s strong wind out there.. real strong… can’t stay there for long.. even with jacket… phew…


OMG… another dancer… hmm hmm… anything you want to comment?


This is one of the culture dance in Egypt… didn’t get to capture it nicely.. cause before this i was outside the cruise.. enjoying the wind …
