Things you have to do when you come to Cairo, Egypt!

 What's Happening?


Hello nice readers, I'm Farah a girl who lives in Egypt, so the purpose of this blog is to tell you some really good places in Egypt to visit and what to be careful about when you come here to Egypt.

Firstly, Mostly Egyptians here are very kind heart people, they will help you if you are lost, most of the Egyptian people really have bad English but will try to communicate with you, so don't worry at all.

1. Pyramids, Giza 


One of the seven wonders around the world, it's amazing to see history like that in your country, one of the amazing experiences here in Egypt that you can see and touch the history itself, its the best feeling ever, so you can go with the car and you park in the garage, please avoid any scammers, in the beginning, no don't accept their help and rides, the tickets are up before the pyramids, you can get a "Kareta" or a Camel that walks you around the pyramids, you can go inside the pyramids but for Closter phobic people like me, its a no no situation.
 
2. Cairo Tower.


One of the most breathtaking places in cair, the ticket is not that expensive at all, but for the corona time it is per time, every tourist goes up for 30 min to take pictures, videos, and sightseeing because the tower overlooks mostly around Cairo, you can see the Nile and many other things, I recommended to go at the time where the sun is going down because you can see both Cairo in sun and in the night which both is amazing.

3. Khan El-Khalili Bazaar


A magical place, Khan el Khalili is a long walk where you walk along the corridor and see a lot of places where you can buy literally anything from there, one thing if you went to Egypt before is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP, it is also magical walking between old buildings with amazing architecture from the old times.

4. Egyptian Museum.

Wanna know more about Egypt and its history, go to the national museum it is amazing and very simple but at the same time impressive how they placed everything in the place, you can get a guide at the door or ask the hotel and they can get you one!

5. The Citadel.


One of the historical places you can visit, it tells you about the history of Muhammed Ali and you can join the mosque and see how amazing it is from the inside, I went there myself and it was so pretty and magical for me, so one of my biggest recommendations is to go there.

6. Go to Azhar Park.


If you went to the mosque, after it you can do a little picnic around Azhar park because you can literally see everything from up there, it is pretty amazing actually.

7. Do a Floukka in the Nile.

Okay, you need to do this, you can take a little boat on the Nile and get food or whatever you want or even put some music on if you want, but try it I did it a lot of times here in Egypt and it's a lifetime experience.

Tips to do when you come to Cairo.

-  when you go anywhere to do anything, do not do it or take it without asking for a price first, like a taxi or even a ride camel or take pictures, to avoid scammers, if the taxi is putting a counter for the ride that's okay.

-  when you go on buses or any ride that have a lot of people, don't leave your wallet in your back pocket, because scammers are everywhere.

- girls please take care of yourself.

5 Inventions that were done by Women!

 What's Happening?  Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them! 1. Medical syringe to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now! "Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip. The handle was designed in a way to be reached even in extreme positions. The hook at the free end of the syringe prevented hands from slipping." As her syringe had a lot of benefits because it was cheap and can easily be used and done by only using one hand, as it's easy to use by any person, she died at the age of ...

What's ur first flashback/memory?

 What's Happening? I just love flashbacks when I was younger, it's amazing how the human mind reminds you of small details but at the same time, I don't remember what I ate yesterday lmao, anyways I'm going to write the flashbacks that happened to me when I was younger, and funny memories as well! Pool time? My first flashback is my first memory but it's a horrible memory though, it's a very dark and horrible time to me, so to begin with it was my first time getting stitches and was on my chin, what happened was I was copying what my friend was doing in the pool as she was jumping in the pool from behind which turning her back to the pool and jumping backward, so i was a little young girl who was five at the time, but what happened was when I copied her I didn't get far enough when jumped to the pool so my chin hit the edge and injured myself, so I really remember my point of view of people getting me out of the pool and rushing me to the doctor, which was h...

Changes you need if you want to love yourself more.

 What's Happening? Just Love Yourself The more I grow the more my mindset changes about different situations I had when I was younger, the way I feel about life these days makes me regret wishing that I want to grow up and see the world as a really dark place, I'm saying here that there is a better way to live instead of feeling depressed about yourself. I know it's not easy to progress but slow step by step it will get better, these habits I tried before and worked like magic, yes it was tiring because of the daily routine process, I get lazy and a lot of these trials were failing so it's okay to fail. - Wake up early Yes i know, it tiring and the day will end up fast and bla bla ba, but its science it was proven that your mind will do better in the early mornings, will have energy better, people even tried it as a challenge on youtube to see if its actually a better chance for them and I'm not saying do it daily, I'm saying to try it once weekly and believe me...
