New spring collection of 2011 at azhar park..:)

In response to the formal realization that Cairo as a city severely lacks in open green spaces and pure oxygen, the Azhar Park project was initiated, creating the largest park of its kind in the Middle East and Africa.This achievement was made possible through the patronage of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), and its specialized branch The Historic Cities Support Program (HCSP). The location of the park was chosen for its significance and uniqueness, the site of El-Darassa, surrounded by some of the most popular historic areas in Islamic Cairo, including Al Azhar and Salah Salem streets. The park is of staggering proportions and a pleasant contrast to the surrounding environment of the crowded Cairo city.

Old cairo......it's call khan el-khalili

How could a market in Egypt be responsible for the founding of the United States? Khan el-Khalili, once known as the Turkish bazaar during the Ottoman period, is now usually just called the ‘Khan’, and the names of it and the Muski market are often used interchangeably to mean either. Named for the great Caravansary, the market was built in 1382 by the Emir Djaharks el-Khalili in the heart of the Fatimid City. Together with the al-Muski market to the west, they comprise one of Cairo’s most important shopping areas. But more than that, they represent the market tradition which established Cairo as a major center of trade, and at the Khan, one will still find foreign merchants. Perhaps, this vary market was involved in the spice monopoly controlled by the Mamluks, which encouraged the Europeans to search for new routes to the East and led Columbus, indirectly, to discover the Americas. During its early period, the market was also a center for subversive groups, often subject to raids before the Sultan Ghawri rebuilt much of the area in the early 16th century. Regardless, it was trade which caused Cairo’s early wealth, even from the time of the Babylon fort which was often a settlement of traders.

Hurghada-----------it's calling paradise beach...:):)

Over the last ten years the citizens of Hurghada have seen an amazing development. From desert sand has risen a town with more than 200 hotels, booming shopping promenades and vibrant nightlife. With ever growing number of tourist and perfect climate, this Red Sea Riviera has no off season. Hurghada has a special community where local habits and culture is presented next to resort lifestyle and behavior.
But the biggest beauty of Hurghada starts where coast ends – blue Red Sea is the reason why your dreams will stay with us. If it takes place in or on the water you can do it here: windsurfing, sailing, deep-sea fishing, swimming, but above all, snorkeling and diving. The unique underwater gardens offshore are some of the finest in the world, justifiably famous amongst divers. The warm waters here are ideal for many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs, which may also be observed through glass bottom boats.
