Fruit stand in Alexandria, Egypt

 

Alexandria, Egypt is one important city in Egypt that you must have in your travel plans if you happen to travel to Egypt now or in the future. Just a 2 hour drive from Cairo and worth it. The city has a Mediterranean feel but that crazy night life that is just a little different than Cairo. But also known to have many historical sites here. A very important city to explore and get a feel of the past. During the day, Alexandria is just a normal everyday city but at night, the people are out and about, cars everywhere, and don't even attempt to try and cross the street!

I just loved how among everything moving around, there was this fruit stand just sitting still and calm. A true site to see and one that I appreciated. Egypt won me over. And it will win you over too.

Great Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, Egypt. What a spectacular world wonder. One I highly recommend you see for yourself in person. I was and still am in awe of how the Egyptians were able to build these incredible structures. Beauty in the middle of a desert. They say don't go in the summer to avoid the high heat but I went in the middle of July and I felt it was not as hot as California during the summer! Of course, definitely cover your head and your body to protect you from the suns rays. And bring plenty of water.

 

Watch out for the camels! Or you'll end up like me, sideways, and the person who saves your life behind you is screaming in Arabic to stop before I fall off the camel! :)
