رحلة مصرية ::Egyptian trip

Finally I got the chance to start writing again about Egypt. The motivation came with a dynamic project of a young and full of life Egyptians lead by a passionate guide , Mr. Moustafa. As far as I understood he is organizing trips in Cairo and closest cities. The trips that are not requiring transportation they are free of charge , anyone who wants to join just come and join taking advantage of Mr. Moustafa's explanations for free. The trips that involve transportation there is a fee , a very affordable one. Last Friday on 6 June رحلة مصرية ::Egyptian trip organized a trip to the famous Citadel. Although I have seen it three times already , I decided to join the group just for fun and see if the project is for real . Yes , it is ! The entrance ticket to the Citadel is only 2 pounds for Egyptians. For the foreigners is 60 pounds per adult and 30 pounds per child. Remember if you are a foreigner married with an Egyptian citizen just have with you a proof of the marriage and you will be considered as Egyptian.  I am going to write about the Citadel in my following post. Next week on 13 June  رحلة م.صرية ::Egyptian trip is organizing a trip to Alexandria visiting the Alexandria National Museum , the Catacombs of Kom el Shukafa , the Pompey Pillars and then heading to a garden for relaxation. The trip is only 60 le and free of charge for children under 6 years old.
 
I think these kind of actions are welcome in these times when tours and sightseeing are not as popular as before due to the events from the country. I found Mr. Moustafa , a very energetic and enthusiastic person with a very expressive mimic of the face. I can tell he is really passionate about his explanations but too bad that I didn't understand anything as I was the only one foreigner in his group. The others on the other hand enjoyed every moment with him, listening very careful to his words ! 
 
I recommend this group and you can be in touch with them through their Facebook page where you will also find their phone numbers if you need them. You will find on their page useful information, the weekly event and lot of pictures.

Stay tune , more to come !
