Egypt since 1975 -

HERE STARTED MY CAREER AS TRAVELLER:

The first time I worked temporary in Egypt. I was in Sinai abr. 30 kilometers from Suez Chanel to East in desert.

In my last tourist trips I have felt same taste/smell than when I was first time with sand and lived in tent in Sinai Egypt.

Finish like about Egyptian people (as all) and what was amazing Egyptian knew Finnish Nokia. (later)

Sinai 1975

SINAI 1975

The town Suez was far away us, but the lights was in our eyes every evening. From radio was able to hear " Radio El-Cahir". From these times start my interest to Egyptian music . (especially Belly dance)
Sometimes we visited in Suez and hotel/Restaurant Bel Air.

RESTAURANT&HOTEL
BEL AIR OF SUEZ

Accommodations 1975

LIVING AT THE DESERT

We lived in tents, with domestic animals as, chameleons,scorpions,rats,camels, and snakes. Hot was in tent afternoon abr . +60 Celsius (still could sleep and rest in the afternoons- "air condition...what?"

If somebody read this intro who was in the same time 1975 - in the same area-- be so kind and please connect me, I would come to see with You the areas and the same places or every way we should talk together from those times. ?

Anyway good time --for young man see the world and start traveling.
