This Month in Tour Egypt Monthly:
Feature Articles Welcome
to the Ancient Egyptian Home
by Ilene Springer
Mudbrick houses made from sunbaked clay. Women scrubbing
clothes in the Nile. Large terra cotta water jugs leaning against
walls. Children running along with their fathers in the fields. This isn’t ancient Egypt we’re talking about; this is what
you’ll see if you’re fortunate enough to travel along the Nile
along some of the smaller villages of modern-day Egypt.
Nevertheless, this will give you a glimpse into what the ancient
Egyptian home looked like from the outside and the daily
activities that took place around it.

Hotels in Egypt - Part IV by Jimmy Dunn This
month we explore the history of another Sofitel Hotel, the
Cecil in Alexandria, along with the exquisite El-Salamlek
Palace Hotel, also in Alexandria. This will finish up
our series on Historical Hotels in Egypt.

Egyptian
Night Life
by Juergen Stryjak
The later in the evening,
the better the atmosphere. Cairo’s only real jazz club
takes you on a musical journey beyond common jazz
borders, seven nights per week, throughout the whole
year. Juergen Stryjak reviews this Cairo landmark club. |
Restaurant
Reviews
by Juergen Stryjak & Mariam Salama
Juergen takes a look at the
young, but popular L'Aubergine Restaurant which claims to
be Cairo's first & finest vegetarian restaurant.
Mariam considers the Okamato, a Japanese restaurant of the
first order and some of the best food Mariam has ever
tried. |

Shopping
Around
by Juergen Stryjak
Egypt is famous for its
cotton. So, if you are going to travel to Egypt, have a
look around in your home and decide, which one of your
shabby sofas or your threadbare window treatments
definitely needs a new cover or a new curtain! Then
start a shopping spree in the Wekalat Al-Balah in Cairo! |
Egyptian

Its a sad story, and one of
the common people of Egypt. Last month, Adel
explained Egyptian humor, and this month he provides at
least one of the reasons that Egyptians must keep a good
humor. |
