Meeting was ended earlier that day. Everyone was looking forward to have a dinner on Nile River's cruise. Me? of course!! I think almost 20 times i said thank you to my colleague in Telecom Egypt for hosting such wonderful dining. Hihi.
Lemme introduce some of my sweet friends there in Cairo;
Pic No. 1 from left: Maghda, Rodhwa, Me and Rania.
Owh mereka sangat cantik! :)
Owh mereka sangat cantik! :)
All of them are working for Submarine Cable in TE. Actually i was surprised that in TE, there are a lot of ladies into Submarine profession. I was so happy. Ade geng pompuan. Yey!! :)
The named of the Restaurant is Khulkhal. It's an arabic restaurant inside Nile Maxim that will take you cruising along Nile River. The food, Not a very horey to me since i dun really fancy arabic food but.. the experience to be on cruise.. pergh!! amazing!!.
Say hello to Nile Maxim. :)Those are some of the delegates from South East Asia, Middle East and Western Europe.
My plate was not yet emptied but i just couldn't help myself to join some of them who had already left the table went to the balcony to witness such magnificent view of Nile River. Lampu-lampu indah berkerlipan sepanjang tebing sungai. You could also see so many more exclusive cruises along the river. Ade antara hotel yang 5 stars above tu, siap ada cruise diorang sendiri tau!! kerlass!
Posing at Maxim's balcony
I have a question here.
Selain ingin melihat kehebatan Pyramid yang sungguh luarbiasa, menikmati keindahan Sungai Nil yang menakjubkan, Egyptian food yang enak, shopping, u all rasa, why ramai pelancong suka pergi Egypt???
hehehehee... some of you guys already have the answer!! I can see u're smiling there!!! :D
WHAT I"M GONNA SHOW YOU, THEY ARE TOTALLY CLASSIFIED (eh, dah macam transformer pulak). If you're under 18, please seek your parents' permission before click to view it.
(I am so sorry. For some reason , the audio is lost in middle of the way. It could be happened when i transferred the video from .mov to .avi. Takpe, layan je la ek.)
OK. Dah boleh tutup mulut dah semua!!! :D
Kagum bukan? Malam tu kan, mesti semua atuk2, pakcik2, abang2 wished that Leila akan menjelma dalam mimpi and gelek2 lagi. Hahahaha.
Maghda told me that Egyptian girls even a little one, they could move their belly by default!! :)
I tried it out when i got back to my room but, i was more looked like a person who had just been hit by electric shock!! LOL.
****
My prayer was answered when Encik Mukhtar and two other delegates from Mumbai agreed to visit the Pyramids on our last day in Cairo. Since all of us have the same flight to catch up by 6.30 pm to Dubai, we had enough time in the morning to do that. Yeeha!
There are 3 main pyramids at Giza and of course the great Sphinx yang famous itu. Meh check kat bawah ni;

Actually there are hundred of pyramids in Egypt but the main that menjadi tumpuan pelancung sedunia are the one in Giza Complex. They are Pyramid of Khufu (Father, the oldest and largest), Khafre (Son, 2nd largest) and Menkaure (Grandson).
Seriously, when people asked me what is the purpose of the Pyramids, i have no definite answer to tell even i have seen them with my own eyes. What i know is that long time ago, they kept the king (Firaun lah tu) and queen mummies in there together with the whole harta karun. But now, all the mummies have no longer in there. There are all kept in Egyptian Museum (xsempat pegi. :()
Pyramid Khufu is huge, so huge, melambangkan kekuatan raja pada ketika itu and i kept thinking how people at that time built this one of the oldest wonder in the world. It was great if i could bring myself in. Unfortunately, by the time we bought the ticket, they said we could only spend time outside the Pyramids since they're already a lot of people in there. Sigh..
Some people explained on what makes the Great Pyramid of Giza so unique? It is the only one to have a magnificent grand gallery in its ascending system. The purpose of this gallery still remains a mystery. ooo.. spooky. Disebabkan x dapat masuk, i tried to search the picture inside the Pyramid from google and found this;
It's time for more pictures. Enjoy! :)

At the Pyramid of Khufu
***********************
Sangat huge! Tinggi macam gunung.
Ramai pelancong!! Spot me?
That's the entrance to enter the Khufu. Ade Pak Guard kat situ. But the original entrance is the one on top of it. Can you see it?
I was wondering cemanala diorang angkat batu-batu ni dulu. Sangat WOW!!
Now i'm at the back of the Khufu. It's time to visit the 2nd one, The Khafre.

The Khafre
Few poses before we left Khafre for The Sphinx. Owh we skipped The Menkaure as our tour guide said it 's just the same as the rest. Lagipun hari dah makin panas. Alasan.
Camels
The Khafre
Next, we went to visit The Sphinx. What's he? The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the face of a man. It is a giant limestone sculpture in the Giza Plateau. The Sphinx was put in front of a pharoh's pyramid (The Khafre) to protect the pharoh's ka. (The ka is the spirit of the pharoh, and the body must remain intact for the ka to recognize its body). Ni kepercayaan diorang la ni.
The Sphinx

Hidung dia dah lama tercedera. Might be due to weathering and erosin.
Sphinx the protector!!

Nadine, i sent this kiss on behalf of you. Teeehehehe. :)
Owh, it has come to an end. I am so thankful to Allah that i'd been given this chance to come to Egypt and experience living here even for few days only. I will keep my memory in Cairo forever. Muahs!!

ReplyDeleteOMG, gracefulnya Leila! Kalau I buat sure excess baggage bergegaran mcm earth quake. muahaha! Eh, did you know belly dance is the "in" thing now? Many of my Chinese colleagues took up belly dance classes, they said it's a good exercise for the tummy.
Wow, besarnya pyramid! Amazed sungguh dgn org dulu2 kan, without today's technology they can built such a gigantic monumen. You yg tgk with your own eyes lagi la kan. Ini 7 wonders of the world no. berapa ni you dh pegi ni you? Yg I tau 2 la after the great wall. BESTNYER!!

Thara:
ReplyDeleteBabe, selepas 8 hari migrain hari-hari lepas balik meeting, harusla i excited bila dapat pergi jalan-jalan. Ahaks! :) TM Global kalau dapat tau orang macam you nak join Thara, mesti diorang nak punya. :)
babe, memang ade ramai jugak orang kat sana, esp hotel's people thought i was from there too. Tu yang depa bantai cakap Arab dengan i. Kekekeke. Luckily all of them could speak English. So, when i said, i'm not speaking Arabic, otomatic diorang cakap English ngan i. Siap mintak maaf lagi. Bagus sunnguh!
I have no strength yet to perform belly dance to Armi.I takut dia pengsan jer x pun meluat. HAHA! The other day, i pakaila yang tali pinggang kecing2 tu kan and made same move in front of Oman and Armi, Oman tgk pelik je, yang Armi bantai gelak. Ciss! :)
Owh, about the Pyramid, they really were not built by human being? oooo...spooky. Best jugak buat kajian nih! nanti i tanya kawan2 i kat Egypt tu kot2la the real story they knows kan. :)
Muahs!

Ayscha:

Salam Shamsul.. ala, panggil je charque. Tu kan nama glamer kita masa sekolah. ehehehe
ReplyDeleteDah check dah dengan abah banyak kali, abah kata xde. keturunan pattani tu adela sikit2.. eh pattani la pulak.. :)
Dark side of my job? hmmm.. if any traveling mommies being asked with this question, for sure the answer would be the same. Leaving the family is the major. It needs a lot of strength and patience. However, setiap ketentuan tu mesti ada hikmahnya kan. I take this as a challenge. Moga Allah melindungi my family sepanjang ketiadaan ku. Amin.
Setiap kerja ade pro and cons nyer. I'm trying to adapt new things, and being positive. :)
