Egyptian he is !
With the thousands of years written on his forehead !
Each piece of your oranges or cucumbers has a distinguished taste !
The taste of the delta on which first civilization was born.
|
In old Cairo,
you smell history, touch eternity and hear Saladin !
In old Cairo,
you feel birth and witness death !
In old Cairo,
you will never be old
as people are precious as gold !

A theatre in down town Cairo !
A play performed by a multi
millionaire belly dancer.
Young men around the theatre and
a nearby cafeteria .
A simple shoe polisher upper
Egyptian, who came to the city
to start a long road of hard work.
There, on the right, they managed
to pray in congregational in the street.
This is Egypt !
A society where you find the hard workers, the religious worshippers,
and the entertainment as well.
Guess what is written in Arabic on the the electricity's pole ?! |
Alexandria !
The bride of the Mediterranean ;
Rocks and waves ;
Hearts and dreams;
The future and the past !
Cleopatra was there once; no matter she wore a different veil !
|
Alexandria !
In summer, pilgrimages are rushing to you !
In winter, you tell the story of Alexander the great,
Antonio and Cleoptra , and to history you give the moral,
" French and British invaded this soil once upon time but
finally they were forced to leave; how come they (American & British)
repeat their fools again in Iraq, they will meet the same fate ".

Dear young fellow Egyptian ,
Our grandparents achieved these great monuments;
and since then we passed by long hard times !
But, one day, you, your son or your grandchildren will witness glory again.
