I'm going to Egypt!

[ejaghana]

My mom is treating me to a trip to Egypt! I will be there the beginning of March. We are going with a tour group, so my first tine in Egypt will not be dance related. That's ok because I have always wanted to go, even before I discovered the dance.

We are going to the Khan al Khalili! So I'll prob. be making a few purchases!!!

Awesome! Have a great time!

I'll be there in spirit. Have a great time. Soak up every bit you can.

Have fun. Tell Mahmoud I said hi when you get to the Khan. Are you going to have time to take any classes?

[jasani]

Well if this is not a dance related trip at least TRY to go see some shows. Hope it's a fun trip for you and a safe one!

I'm going in late February!
We're also taking a tour for our first trip - Peregrine Adventures. It's the first trip for my spouse & I and so it's not dance-related, although I hope we'll get to see some dancers at night and maybe participate in one of those Nile cruise galabeya parties.

Egypt is an incredibly interesting travel destination,dance related or not.

You will have a blast! I went for 2 weeks last year for both leisure and dance! IT was just amazing and I can't wait to go back!

Have a fabulous time - don't miss Mahmoud's (costumes). just a thot - you might want to keep small notes of cash in your pocket - there is dreadful amount of poverty and people will often try to sell you small items - paper tissues etc, costs you almost nothing but makes a BIG difference to them. - I've only been once and loved it - esp. the people (they are so genuinely friendly) Celia

I won't have time to take any classes :( I'll have to save that for the next trip. Does anyone know where Mahmoud is exactly? I don't know how much time we'll have at the Khan, so I want to go straight to him!

Mahmoud's is the type of place that once you've been there it is a snap to find but it can be a little difficult the first time (simply because the souk is bustling and traders will be trying to entice you into their own shop).

Luckily though...Meissoun has done the hard work for you and gives you directions and photos to make it easier to identify - the webpage is Cairo - Adresses for Shopping

You are going to love Egypt! you lucky duck, wish i was going with you
