Felt homesick and went to a chinese restaurant on top of Cecil Hotel... Never again will I miss Chinese Cuisine in the remaining trip in Egypt after I have tasted THE Chinese Food...
|
| Bored while waiting for my freshly-squeezed Orange Juice.. (and I really waited for a long time.. it still didn't arrive even i have finished the entire meal)
|
| Stylish elevators of Cecil Hotel. This Hotel was built on the site where Cleopatra committed suicide and was also used by the Birtish Secret Service during WWII and Churchill was a regular guest here...
|
| Statue of Saad Zaghloul, Midan Saad Zaghloul. He was a Prime Minister of Egypt in 1924.

Fishermen? The guy was consistently battering the water with a stick... still don't understand what they were trying to do!
|
| Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Was built to replace the destroyed great anicent library, it can house more than 8 million volumes
|
| The circular outer wall is made of Aswan granite engraved with letters, pictograms, hieroglyphs and symbols from every known alphabet.
|
| The partly-glazed roof which tilts towards the sea is designed to angle sunlight to the inside of the library.
