| Abu Simble |
Super excited to be returning to Egypt very soon ! I'll be spending a month there, first taking a group with me to tour several locations in Egypt that are a must to see, Pyramids in Cairo, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple in Luxor, Abu Simble by Aswan (the magnificent temple you see the the above photo) and of course a leisurely cruise down the Nile that is just sublime!
I've been to Egypt so many times that the idea of partnering with my friend Mohamed Bahaa and his travel agency to show my friends and their friends the Egypt that I love seemed a natural thing to do and Amoura Tours was born!
So the first part of my trip will be to tour the places I mentioned above with a small group of friends, many of them my ex-coworkers from my Kodak days. In addition to the places I've mentioned we will also visit and do many other things but one thing I love to do is show them places that are not "touristy", places that are quite popular with locals and some of my "hidden gems" that you can only see if you travel with me. Once we leave the busy and at times chaotic vibe of Cairo, we will fly south to Luxor and see the truly amazing temples and sites there. For those of you that don't know, Luxor was known as Thebes in ancient Egypt, was the capital and where most of the Pharaohs and Kings resided and later were laid to rest in the Valley of the Kings . So many things to see on the East and West bank of the Nile in Luxor and really worth the trip if you make it to Egypt one day. After a few days there we will board our Nile Cruise ship and sail down the Nile stopping at different temples, islands and villages along the way culminating in the magnificent structure that Abu Simble is. Can't wait to see it again and show it to my guests !
After I have seen my guests off to their next destination Israel !.... I stay behind to do Amoura work ! This trip is all about hunting and scourging for unique items to add the Amoura Home collection. I'll be searching for new Egyptian lamps, Serving trays, Egyptian home decor and anything I think will be of interest to my customers. So if you see anything you have been searching for in that Arabian, Egyptian or Moroccan vibe, send me a message through here or follow me on Instagram and message me through there. You can find me at @amourahome or @amouradesigns. If you have seen a specific Moroccan lamp or Arabian piece I can probably find it for you. I love doing this !
Till next post , Life is good people !
