hello to you all!
Immediately I want to reassure you: no we are not dead in train accident in Cairo ... but we could have. In one week we took probably near a train on the part of the system or had place the accident .... hope that luck does not leave us! Inshallah!
we come back to life so tural after almost 10 days out of time in the Egyptian oasis. As the ADSL is here, a small photo iullustration.
So the last message we were at Siwa, the most lost and most beautiful of all the oases (top left on the card to Libya). Since we have linked
Baharya , Farafra, Dakhla then Kharga and Luxor here we have for a break before re-attacking with pharahoneries valley of kings and Co.
=> Siwa -> Baharya.
Une petite image de siwa car dans le dernier message c etait plutot brut de brut
la vieille forteresse
Un des nombreux lacs sales (eh non ce n est pas une blague en middle of the desert!) with the mountain white background
The road between the two oases is over n that was barely 1 / 4 or anything ... The rest alternates between track disgusting, old asphalt road near a little drinking and dunes sui invade everything. To make the journey, c is the super m *** e! Must AVOP permissions from the police, customs and especially trouvver a conveyance, the simplest and being the 4x4. Much tell you that our small budget could afford. We've found another solution via a pickup (not 4x4) UAI was ready to take us ... has remained complete. Hard suand tourists can be counted on two hands! And still the chance we smiled, we found a couple really nice and tried to do as we (his Palestinian medical studies in Cairo and German work in Spain) The current is immediately SAAP is 7 and c a 4-day trip begins following have (maybe more ... who knows!)
The road was very long, we grow 3 times the pickup silting, passes through seven checkpoints (here I think not having spoken elsewhere but c is almost as common as radars automatiaues and sometimes the traffic lights! They are useless ... well if a complicate and slow things down ... especially when you travel with a Palestinian ... j talk about that later)
From delightful feeling of being absolutely alone in the middle of a desert in sweltering heat, the slightly salty sweat that dries instantly and hair full of dust
sand ...
sunset over the immensity and night under the stars with the Milky Way as seen in the most beautiful pictures of atronomie. Impresssionant!
=> Baharya -> Farafra
Baharya Arrive in the middle of the night after 8 hours of unforgettable and harrowing road, we find a hotel and sleep some hours.
The interest of Bahariya is not like the oasis Siwa UAI is not very nice and pretty rotten by tourism (c is the closest to Cairo).
Here the excursions in a kind of white dersert Cappadocia Turkey without water but with the km2 of sand and limestone forms. C is a 4 tjrs which we organize a 1 2j night in the desert in 4x4 all inclusive (night on mattresses on the sand and meals prepared by the driver (and is hot as fire on wood) for 17.5euros / person .... crazy stuff right??
qq photos ...
Both say right away but the images speak for itself, was c magic ... Nightfall soretnry rn effect of nowhere 10aine desert fox (I do not know the word FR) vienent see tourists. Kinds of big cats (in fact harmless foxes) they play with anything that they find ... and are pa; al noise ...
Dakhla Oasis
ARPRE a museum in Farafra which I shall speak in detail without the * real * book travel and 5 hours away in the middle of absolutely nothing and 5 check points (one or one had to write black and white that we had no police escort not need .... but it changes what in fact an escort when there s nothing and nobody on the roads or at the very least it is 55 degrees?), here we are without the Dakhla Oasis, One of the largest and most beautiful with siwa.
A day with a private taxi is 22 euros per 150 The day was divided by 4 ... and here we are on the road to discover the fantastic life in the oases
earthen alleyways of Balat
Balat
Ptolemaic temple (= Roman Pharaonic period) in sandstone of Mut
I spend 10aine things but as you say here c is the paradise of sand, rocks, water and passes na not lost a ride after 5000 years (the oldest traces of pharaonic Egypt). Here
fewer checkpoints but plsu c is effective, they casually refer directly to our driver's wife to know where we are once night falls and we accompagnet up a minibuses that is completed and our partners!
El Khargha
thought for Vince and all those who have read the Abyssinian JC Ruffin. Indeed this rich oasis today the capital of New Valley c but it is another story was the meeting point between the runway and UAI from Cairo said that 40 days would UAI in Sudan and Ethiopia.
Rich traces of what happens
old fortress hotel for merchant caravans of
Christian Necropolis of Al Bagawat
The temple of Hibis during disassembly / reassembly by unesco
Towards Luxor
Thanks to the new road that connects the oasis luxor bypassing Asyut in Middle Egypt (Area closed to tourists due to Muslim homes) we reach Luxor from where I am typing. No fewer than 10 points ckeck on the road with qq both the passport of our Palestinian friend who raises concern ... the road was closed for tourists 18h and a heavy police escort for entry to the city, here we are in the city of the Pharaohs ... but it will be for the next post!
to respond to messages,
elise JN and J have a good think you pdt my turista because actually your story reminded my ca ... except me I have never vomiting or stomach ache ... just a fever and diarrhea ... Strange no?
Vincent you go with us qd you want to travel!
Cyriel and emma Thanks for the mesage but I think there are differences even if c is true that the noise in the world and culture shock are well
appointment last thing and yes, it was the accounts, we drink between 2 and 6 bottles of 1.5 liters per day ... of course water! It is very hot ... to say we put the air conditioning and settled here in Luxor is 31 degrees c is kind of the absolute foot .. c is mean!
