Talking about Ancient Egypt, it’s one of the topics that I thought only existed in History books. Subjects like these are even taught at the early years in primary schools, which made me think it’s already gone to extinction. And that nothing is left to see for real to validate its then mighty existence. Except in limited books we had, and of course in some movies and documentary films we used to watch. As a fond of history, geography and the likes, I knew a little bit about Egypt that compelled me to someday visit this country. It has one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that is still surviving up to these days – the Pyramid of Giza. Also in the city of Alexandria, another Seven Wonders of the Ancient World used to stand – the famous Lighthouse of Alexandria that was built 280–247 BC.

The Pharaohs, the story of Moses in the Bible, the story of the Holy Family who fled to Egypt during the time of King Herod, the mummies, and then the love story of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. These were just some of the things I knew about Egypt during my childhood days. I’m glad I had the chance to visit Egypt, which was made possible with the help of my close friends Walli  and Cashmira. A very special thanks to Walli Diab, an Egyptologist himself who facilitated our quick entry to some of its important sights during our visit. We had some amazing days of exploration that started from Luxor, then to Cairo and finally to Alexandria. I learned a lot during those intense educational tours, that made me realize how little did I know about this immensely mind-blowing country.
