Dubai markets
I think we can grab some spices and sponges. haha
The famos Burj Al Arab
Yeah, the famous boat like hotel in the manmade island.
It’s pretty, but not as big as you think.
Romance at the beach
This lovely couple enjoying themselves watching the Mediterranean at Alexadria
UEA sunset
Oh, the desert never disappoints in a sunset.
Real commerce
Meanwhile, couple feet from the Sphynx.
Alexandria and its lovely details
Just going by the seaside, I couldn’t help to notice the sidewalk.
Around Alexandria
This reminds me so much of of the Alvorada Palace. Just don’t know which one came first, hahaha, the chicken, the egg or the idea of them.
You got yourself some extraordinary lighting
From inside the new Alexandria’s library, such a wondrous building.
Alexandria library windows
Let’s just hope this one is a little more fireproof.
Running in the Mediterranean border
You better keep running, or at least going.
Just simply love the all the balances on this photo.
Architecture achievement
Such a piece of architecture.
World Trade Center
The view from a boat in the Nile.
Crossing the Nile
Just crossing the longest river in the world, just doing that.
Some alley around Cairo
Just some cool alley around Cairo
Got to see the church
Got to see the Church
Roman bath ruins
Just imagine all the people bathing around.
Camel riding
The ride is fun, just careful when the camel starts to stand up, you may fall. Seriously, they might be famous for their endurance, but delicatessen is not one of their strengths.
Soooo many skyscrapers.
Better get started with some business.
Dubai
Artificial in all the details.
I don't remember
Just simply had no idea what I was up to
The mockup of what used to be a beduin tent
Tourists looove mockups.
The Cairo's glory
Such a titanic city.
Are you kidding me?
The gas is more affordable than water. Who’d wonder why?
Mom and the ruins
Love the lighting
Alex, Alexander, Alexandria, Alexa
Alexandria’s harbor, so interesting
Hmmm, don't remember
Don’t remember where this was, but love the columns.
Taxi lada
Cairo, where all the taxis are ladas.
City piece
A piece of Cairo
Cairo's development
Idk what the Egyptians are up to now, but looks huge.
Cairo, caro
To end with a gold key
The last standing wonders of the ancient world.
Stunning and mysterious.
