When i was at university i learned there is an internatioanal company which you can go to abroad with volunteer project. But apply before i had to decide where should i go? That time i was student and i had no lots of money. I searched to countries. Finally i found to Egypt! I realized there were so many project in Egypt. I spoke with my family and my mom did not accept to my decision because of Egypt’s political situtaion. But my father said to me go to Egypt because maybe you can not see again to Pyramids! My dad was right. Before to go i worked some places for saving money and after i took my flight ticket. I was so excited because that was my first experince for abroad! My flight was very bad. Because plane was very old and we were too many shaking at the air. Thanks God i reached safely to Cairo International Airport! One guy from project who picked me at airport and we went to our home. When i see home i wanted to cry really. That was terrible! On the ground there were bugs.. We cleaned to home but not deeply. We killed to bugs and cleaned to bathroom thats all. Everybody doesnt like to cleaning i understood that time. Our home was very old and had oriental furniture. Really they were Egyption furniture:) My first night i could not sleep. I got up 7 am ann went to outside. I just walked away through way. People were praying at the street and they put their food to car’s top and they were eating traditional way. Although time was early a lot of showroom was open. After i came to my home took shower and went to Pyramids with our group. Pyramid were amazing! When i see firstly i said wow they are big and very old! Everywhere smelled culture and history. We went to inside to Pyramids but most of area was forbidden to enter. Generally inside of pyramids was stone. I am sure the secret area has magical things:) We were always travelling at Cairo. It is really big city and you can find easily what do you want. Some people are praying there some people are drinking alcohol. There is no forbidden about alcohol in Egypt. Also they can produce own beer and that was very tasty. But genarally at Arabic countries alcohol is forbidden or very expensive. Cairo city is very old and oriental. Touristic places have so many souvenir shop. Somebody realizes you are a tourist he comes to your near and try to convince to coming his parfüme shop! Yes the parfüme shop is very popular in Egypt. They care to own smell:) Egyption people are warm and friendship. When you walk alone at metro if somebody tries to talk with you do not suprise:) Really they love to tourist. Except Cairo, we went to Sharm El Sheikh city. From Cairo to Sharm nearly 14 hours with bus! Yes because on the road there are so many soldier and they always stop the bus for control. If you want to go there with bus you should take food if you dont wanna die from hunger:) Sharm city very touristic and for summer holiday very available place. If you want to scuba diving yo are at true adress! We did and the view was amazing. Also Sharm is very popular about diving in the world. In Egypt you will see who smoking sisha at everywhere. Sisha is very important for them. You can see people at 7 am with smoking sisha. I was generally hunger because of food. They use spice and it’s smell different. I did not love but maybe you love who knows:) For transport Cairo has metro station. But it has difference of gender. If you are a man you can not get on women’s side. But if you are a woman you can ger on man side. If you are interested oriental countries, Arabic details, history, friendship,hot weather,Pyramids and more you need go to Egypt. Dont think too much just buy ticket and go to discover.(egyption music is amazing).
