Mount Sinai.

The most beautiful sunrise. When we came in the night on the top of Sinai I couldn't believe that there were so many people. All sitting together as their were one nation. And eventually when the sun came up they all sighed at the same moment...
You cannot leave Egypt without experiencing this!!!

After the sunrise.

After the sun woke up.

It was the only place where I was cold (in Egypt!!!)- really cold. But I never regretted going there.
The beauty of the mountains when the sun woke up was uncomparable to anything else. You could feel the presence of God there- even if you were non-believer.

People of Egypt.

Children sitting on their urinals.

The thing that enchanted me the most in Egypt was its people's attitude toward foreigners. Their custom is to be very hospitable and to be very nice (which was sometimes very confusing).
"The people" that I will surely never forget about were small children that I took care of. Their big Egyptian eyes (very said and looking for someone's love) were something that made me comeback after a year to city called Asjut.

Pros and Cons

Pros:All the good things that I heard there...
Cons:The heat!!!
In a nutshell:If you were in Egypt without getting to know the Egyptians- never say that you got to know Egypt!
