Well, here goes...
Had a one night stop-over in Bahrain on the way to Cairo - the capital of Egypt. Bahrain was a beautiful country. The local city council did a great job in planning the development of their land. The city is just so well organised. By the way, their currency in use there is called Bahrain Dinars(BHD). And if u thought that the British Pound used to be expensive, think again. One Bahrain Dinar gives you approximately TEN Ringgit. The weather was kinda cold in Bahrain. When we arrived, it was 15 Celsius and I was on a single-layer of clothing. Brrrrrrrr!!!! Damn cold!!!!

Next day, off to Egypt. It was equivalent to traveling back in time by some thousands of years. There were monuments everywhere and the city did not have the modern look. First visit, The Cairo Museum. Its a museum that is full of artifacts from the Ancient Egyptian era. It even has the entire collection of the contents of the tomb of King Tutankhamen. Loads of jewellery there. Unfortunately though, cameras were not allowed into the Cairo museum. It is said that if you spend 6 seconds at each piece of artifact, it would take you 7 months to view the museum completely. Now, it will take me 7 months to relate my entire journey there, so here are some pictures.
The local bazaar in Bahrain
Beautiful flowers in dessert country. Not bad huh
My cruise ship for 3 nights. It may look small, but the rooms were huge.
Beautiful Hieroglyphs at one of the Ancient Egyptian Temples
Imagine 146 of this pillars crammed into one section of the temple
The size of those pillars!!!!
Don't the two rows look so similar
On a Felluca(Egyptian Yacht). Thats my dad on the left.
A local dance on the Cruise
More beautiful Hieroglyphs
The entrance to one of the tombs at the Valley of The Kings
The Great Pyramid of Giza
Thats all the pictures for now. I am really lazy to upload more pictures and besides, you need to experience the place by yourself. I cannot tell you everything. Egypt has great architecture and history that any country would love to have. Its getting really late now, i need to go get some rest. Enjoy the pictures......
