A Break in Dubai and Egypt

I am just back after a wonderful holiday with my mom and brother in Dubai. Sis and me enjoyed the quality break in Egypt with our husbands :)

Here are a few pictures and experiences...

In Dubai

Sis suggested to try Sushi food.

We came across Yo! Sushi right in the mall we got her new camera :)

Ann posed happily for my click :)

Sis receiving the main food and yeah I enjoyed sushi immensely, trying for the first time :)

In Egypt

The Great Pyramids of Giza!

The Citadel of Cairo

the shawarma,

pita bread, hummus and felafel we had for lunch

We shopped later in the evening in the Khan al Khalili bazaar of Cairo.

Dried dates in baskets.

The Abu Simbel

and the Temple of Philae in Aswan are worth a visit!

A piece of agricultural land in Cairo

The art which really amazed sis and me.

These bottles were filled with coloured sand, manually with care using long spoons with much expertise.We spent a long time watching them doing it by the street sides and got a couple of them for ourselves :)

Our tour ended with a 3 day cruise in Nile. The greenery lining the river bank with desert in the back ground throughout was a new and refreshing experience.

This lady was making the traditional Egyptian flat bread, a few feet away from where our cruise was docked. She looked grim :) but was happy to see us shooting and offered hot bread even before she grabbed her pay for posing :)


The pizza stones she used.

The fermented dough


Rolls out one, shapes into a small flat bread


and places in the hot oven with a long wooden spatula.

She rolls out more




while waiting to get cooked

Sis and me enjoyed tearing them, hot and fresh, munching all the way till we reached the cruise :)

The largest temple in the world~ Karnak @ Luxor, was our last spot!
