Travel to Egypt in 2005 – Hurghada, Kairo, Luxor
I’m republishing my trip to Egypt to see the famous pyramids and temples in 2005. It was a tight schedule and we had to travel more than thoussand kilometers with mini bus, but it was worth of it. Since early age I was fascinated by Egyptian culture, read Paul Brunton’s “A Search in Secret Egypt” and finally got change to visit the land of Pharaos. Ongoing archaelogical excavations will keep the mystery of ancient times alive. Zahi Hawass has recently told, that not even half of the treasures hidden in the sand has been explored yet.

My own trip to Egypt in 2005 was recorded in a very web 1.0 style

Fantastic tour, whole month! Glad to find familiar places, but also a lot of new. On Jordan there was an interesting statue, what is it? http://www.fitzsimon.com.au/maureen/photos/Jordan/2005-09-12_IMG_1680.jpg
One more thing amazed me was that rocks were so sleek, felt like glass when touching, how could they do such work 5 thousand years ago?
