Egypt - the land of the mummies..What was more shocking was the barreness of the place and the lack of infrastructure to guard the ONLYstanding Ancient Wonder of the World!
The lackadaisal attitude of the Arabs astounds me. Then again, I can understand of what is more important to them in life. There are approximately 10 million who works in Cairo. 90% stays out of town from Cairo. Some as far as Hurghada (it is a town near the Red Sea). Near to Sharm al Sheikh, that is, famous for scuba diving etc. Basically, a holiday town. People comes into Cairo in throes via buses, trains, car and etc.
Traffic jam is a common thing. I can safely say it is better in Kuala Lumpur...traffic jam in KL can be considered a 'bliss'...Houses are built 'upwards' in Cairo. The lack of land for housing had resulted to the 'upwards' solution. Most of these houses are built on bricks without proper plastering and paint and most, were an eyesore to Cairo's skyline. At the same time, the skyline of Cairo is adorned with 1000 over minarets.
The same minarets calling the faithful to perform their duties towards the Creator.
The experience I had in Egypt opened my eyes. I am blessed to be in Malaysia. You will never know how much you are blessed until you experience and observe the suffering of others being on a personal, professional, environmental or even country level.
Then again, Cairo and Alexandria were wonderful!!! I love to go there again. Insyallah!!!
