WOW :)))
Thank you for posting the pictures! Everything is beautiful. The picture of Amman is beautiful! The colors of the building.

How was the weather? Do you speak Arabic?
One of my friends is going to Israel (and Spain and Italy) in Dec, I'm so want to go.. *sighs*

Do you have more photos from Egypt? What did you think of the food? The Music? What is a random thing you thought you wouldn't find in you mega trip? :)

What is shisha? Is edible? sweet? spicy?

Fantastic pictures! I especially love the ones of old Damascus. I've never been to any of these places so it was really cool to see them.

Thanks for sharing!

my pleasure,they're gorgeous places that everyone should visit . Sadly many people either have no idea about them or think they are dangerous or live too far away to afford it. Luckily for me and other people living in my part of Europe or even more to the south, these countries are pretty close by plane(Bucharest-Amman/Beirut/Damascus or Cairo is a mere 2h30m flight)

The storyteller was something I didn't want to miss ,very interesting,traditional thing and very fun to see even if you don't speak arabic(which I don't). I saw a documentary about Syria once and they had a part about him and what these hakawati represented and it was fascinating and sounded like fun . The guy was pretty funny,he engages the people in the coffee house,he was very excited to see us in fact,great stuff,I have a video I think.

Oh they have KFC,McDonald's,Pizza Hut,Friday's,Burger King,etc in all these countries. Lebanon is also pretty modern ,there are little signs(especially in the center or more central areas) that you are in fact in the arab world.

Wow, awesome pics. I've never been to these countries! Guh, Red Sea. DO WANT!

Red Sea is awesome and you should go to those countries,you have a border with Syria after all ,they're even closer to you than they are to me.

LOL, I know! I just never thought about going to Syria. :D We don't have the best kind of relationships with our neighbours! XD

It's so freaking awesome that you've been in Egypt

Anyway... It's great to see you had fun... dispite
all the shit about fandom lately. So thanx for posting
this pictures.. at least I can see what I'm missing. ^_^

yup,7 times in Egypt ,it's our favorite place to go to the seaside and since it was my dream to go to Egypt ever since I was little, we usually end up re-visiting Cairo and Luxor too. I've visited the pyramids like 5 times,been to the Valley of the Kings and the Luxor,Karnak temples 4 times ,I love it and it's close to us, 2h30min by plane(just like the rest of the countries I visited on this trip)
