Matrouh and Siwa trip 2012

Assalamualaikum! Hey, how's everyone? 

I know that this was long overdue but yeah I'd like to talk about my trip to Matrouh and Siwa!

Endless sea of sand, camels and BLAZING fiery market. LEMME EXPLAIN.

It was quite a long journey from Alex to these places (I took the bus). My advice for you, relieve your bladder at every possible STOP because hey, you will find yourself in the middle of nowhere a.k.a the desert. Thus, endless sea of sand. Only camels and solar panels.

After getting hypnotized by the sand...o___o endless sand...you'll arrive in SIWA but before that.. FLASHBACK <<

On the first day, we arrived in Matrouh because well, my friends and I and the whole tour group were staying at this one motel. BLUE AND WHITE. I guess that's the theme of the town. The people are way nicer and more polite (I should add a "than" to compare but I won't hehe. Their language is somehow similar yet different than the one that I'm learning. *COUGH2 bila nak pandai cakap arab ni?? It was nice. The sea's MAGNIFICENT! There are some areas that makes it seems like a dead town but that's what I needed to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Phewh! Oh yeah, one more thing happened there. The morning after we went to the Matrouh market, well, the place was blazing! The market got caught in a fire. I MAY be the last person from the tour group to get out from that place BUT I HAVE NOTHING to do WHATSOEVER with the fire. Not me!!! But I did managed to save a bag from the fire. (sebab tu keluar paling last =__=;)
Yeah...

Siwa was a lot of fun. Considering that it's your first time and it's your first time seeing the places there. We even went to Cleopatra's bathing place. So awesome.
