Hello everyone.
Alhamdulillah. After 2 and half months, im back to Egypt to continue my study. its hard to leave my beloved country, Malaysia, the best place ever. No matter how good other places are, no other can beat your hometown.
So i arrived here in 3rd oct, few days later i got to know the class start on 14. i was a bit frustrated. So, I decided to go on a holiday. yay! i can say its a revenge. dont even mind to skip my class on the first day. sapa suruh start lambat kan! :p
tadela sedih sgt pun, saje exaggerated sikit. Hikmah balik awal, dapat jalan-jalan. tapi klu tak jalan-jalan, mmg tak happy la. :)
so let's start laa..
9 October 2012
Going to cairo by first class train. woohoo. it's not me who bought the first class ticket, my travel agent did.
Then, after we arrived at Ramsis station, we had to go to Giza to take our sleeping train to Aswan. We waited for two hours for our sleeping train. Sitting on our bag and chatting among us.
I can say its cozy in there. 12 hours journey to Aswan must be tiring, fortunately we could sleep in the sleeping train. Basically its like a room, you can lock the room and do whatever you want without others seeing you. :)
10 October 2012
We reached Aswan. Our travel agent took us for sight seeing in Aswan. Aswan is not like i was imagined, it's far more better than i thought. It's clean!
The first place we visited was the high and lower dam. Subhanallah, i cant take my eyes on it. Indeed, it's beautiful. The nile river captured my heart. :)
Next, went to philae's temple. It's a temple of love. Love between God Isis to his husband, God Osiris. Noted that all their Gods are just a statue. There's about 2000 gods in their believe! The story is kinda interesting.
temple of the god of love during pharoanic period. a love story between god isis to his husband osiris. (all their god are actually a statue). it's the battle of the gods which set(other god) had killed osiris bcoz he performed an adultery with his wife, nephtys. nephtys had run away. set had cut osiris in 14 pieces and put all the pieces in every 14 cities in egypt but isis , found them all except one part . -told by our tourist guide.

After that, we went to our cruise,enjoying the rest of the day on the cruise.
Again we spent the rest of the day on the cruise. We were excited because the cruise will start to sail to Luxor.
13 October 2012
We went to the valley of the king and the hatsepsut temple. We should visit few others temple, but the weather on that day was too hot, and we were tired. So we just stayed on the cruise, and relax.
We left at night. I want to write more detail, but too lazy since i wrote all the details of each places and temples on my flickr already. till then..
ciao!
