الحسين و الازهر و التضاد

كنت اول مره اروح هناك و دخلت الحسين الاول و المسجد كبير اوي بس في حاجه غلط الناس وشوشها مش حلوه و حتى الاجانت الآسيويين هناك شكلهم مش مريح اوي و طبعا الشرك الي بيحصل جوه و اصلا اصلا الناس مش واثقه ان الجسم جوه عشان هو مات في العراق

ف كنت مش مبسوط ولا منبهر حتى الساحه كانت مقفوله

يدوب عديت النفق و اول لما نزلت سلمتين المدخل بجد حسيت بشعور حلو اوي و الناس هناك كلها بمعنى كلها وشوشهم حلوه حتى الي مش مسلمين و اخوتنا من شرق آسيا شكلهم حلو و الزنوج نفس الكلام وشوشهم حلوه و فيها طيبه غير ان دوشه العربيات اختفت و مش عارف انا ببالغ ولا لا بس حسيت دخان القاهره قل جوه

يعني كل ده ما بينهم و بين بعض نفق اقل من ١٥ متر بس الفرق بين ناس بتشرك بربنا في وحد ميت و ناس رايحه تتعلم دين سماوي صح

و جه في دماغي اغنيه بالورقه و القلم فب كوبليه "يا كل حاجه و عكسها"

ان شاء الله في اقرب زياره هزور الازهر تاني و عمرو ابن العاص و الرفاعي عشان كنت عايز ازورهم بس ملحقتش و لو في مساجد تانيه كده ياريت حد يقولي عليها بس ميبقاش فيهم اضرحه

Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz, while reading the news that he had won the Nobel Prize in Literature 1988, Naguib did not agree to travel to receive the award because he did not like to travel outside Egypt, and he sent his daughter in his place.

CAI Time to move between terminals

Hello everybody!

I will be traveling to Egypt, and when passing through Cairo, I will be arriving at 22:00 to Terminal 1, and I have a flight at 23:30 departing from Terminal 3. I dont have any checked luggage.

I have been researching and have seen that it is possible to move between terminals without having to go through immigration and security, so it shouldn't take me long to change terminal, but I wanted to know your opinion on whether I will be tight on time or not when moving from Terminal 1 to 3.

Thanks in advance!!

Deported and passing through Cairo

So I am an Asian Muslim from Uk and i came for Arabic studies in 2016. I was detained without reason in Cairo airport and sent home without setting foot in the country. Apparently it went through some court and they said no because of the beard

Now there is Hajj coming up and it will pass through Cairo. What is the likelihood of being detained without reason. Obviously if the flight is missed it is hard to get a new one

Visiting Egypt with my mother from Dubai

Guys, I hope everyone is doing great!

I am visiting Egypt from Dubai with my mother for 5 days and would love some recommendations and advice.

Questions:

•	Must-visit places – What are the top attractions we shouldn’t miss?
•	Avoiding scams – I’ve heard many stories about tourists being scammed. What are the best ways to stay safe and avoid common tourist traps?
•	Affordable ride-hailing apps – Which apps are best for getting around at a reasonable price?
•	Day tours – Any recommendations for good day tours that cover key attractions?
•	Other necessary travel tips – Any important things we should know before visiting?
•	Weather in Egypt this month – Is it cold? Should we bring warm clothes, or is the temperature comfortable?

Looking forward to your recommendations. Thanks in advance!

اوسخ حاجه فمصر

من صغري وانا دايما بلاحظ معالم الجمال والقباحه. مثلا البيوت اللي مش متفنشه شكلها بيبقي ابن عرص. والعربيات اللي دايما عامله حوادث ومخربشه ودهانها واقع وبتاع. عالعموم برضه من اوسخ الحاجات في مصر هي النضافه العامه اللي في المدينه. يعني مثلا تلاقي متر ونص تراب جنب الرصيف بين الشارع والرصيف لاااااازم فكسمين كل شارع تلاقيه. ودايما تلاقي اكوام رمل وعقاب سجاير. مش يجاير جديده بتاعه كل يوم. كميات تراب ووساخه قدييييمه بقالها شهور مش بتتنضف. الناس فيها فيرس السرسجه والجربعه وبرضه حملات توعيه الناس بأهميه النضافه معدومه. يعني مثلا لو سنه كااامله اعلانات وغرامات وتشديد علي التنضيف يحصل لمده سنه كامله وبدون ذكر مده الناس هتتعود.

Is it true most belly dancers performing at Egyptian weddings are usually foreign belly dancers?

I heard it's frowned upon for to hire egyptian belly dancers, so they hire non-Egyptians for wedding events?

Could my Baba really get arrested for this?

I mean yes, he could, but would they actually care?
He said some stuff about the goverment on facebook, but he wasn't a big criticer. So would the goverment arrest him for that? Because he's afraid of that and that's the reason he doesn't visit our family with us, even though he misses them, and they miss him. He got his german citizienship almost a year ago, but he still has his egyptian one too.
So could he get in trouble or even arrested?
