While I am on the theme of beautiful scenes -I have to quickly mention the sunsets (since there is another stunning one happening as I type this) I have never before seen such skies- its gorgeous!!! I know, but try hard to forget that the oranges and reds wouldn't be quite so orange or red if it wasn't for all the pollution and sand in the atmosphere- but at least there is some small benefit to that even if it is only visual. its a magical time here- watching the sun set and the lights of cairo switch on- definaltly the best time of day to see Cairo! still kicking myslef that I didn;t have my camera with me on the felucca ride at sunset so I could show you those- ah well- as good an excuse as any to do it again!!!!
This blog has my observations, as a Scottish Bellydancer, about adjusting to life, work and performing in Cairo, Egypt; the place, the people, the culture, the music and of course the dance and bellydance scene where I worked for 10 years
