Day 4: Abu Simbel and Aswan at Nite

All I can say is... WOW! This place is even better than the pyramids! Ramses II knew his sh*t... Two temples, one for him, one for his wife, both towering over the sky, both have paintings and hieroglyphic drawings covered EVERYWHERE!... Apparently we weren't allowed to take pics inside the temple, but I found out after I had already snapped a few...oops! Anyway, you just have to be there to see how amazing the temple looked...

Then in the afternoon, we went to see the unfinished obelisk and I almost bought a cheap galabaya ... haha.. the guy started telling me its 170 EGP and I was like wtf... started to walk away and after 10 minutes of this walking away and bargaining business, got it down to 35 EGP!... but by then, I lost interest... But what a discount... 170 becomes 35 EGP! lol!


At nite, we went to check out the marketplace and saw my galabaya... decided to see how low I can get the price.. and lo and behold.. its now valued at 28 EGP!... talk about deals!... (but I still didn't buy it :) )... haha

New food:
Falafel = some crunchy ball things with vegetables + special sauce inside a pita bread (1 EGP)
Kofta = beef sausage (4 EGP)
Hamaachi = meat sandwich (4 EGP)
