Footage from Cairo Tower during #CairoTweetUp

Hey All,

Last Friday, March 19th I went in a little #CairoTweetUp – Twitter users meetings – and recorded that footage to downtown Cairo. I uploaded it unedited to YouTube, hoping that the annotations there would make some sense.

General view:

Trying to focus on main figures:

Pyramids and Nile View:

Ministry of foreign affairs:

Mohamed Ali Mosque and Saladin Citadel from Cairo Tower:

Cairo university main hall from Cairo Tower:

The guys: @ramezm @gr33ndata @humanzz @Haerviu and myself @abdome > getting down.

Provided that 3 members are from Alexandria, i get to know some new Alexandarian words.

Enjoy!

Saqqara Desert Horse back-riding

Hey Everyone,

Friday, March 5th. I went with the amazing Weekedn Trips group in Cairo http://www.facebook.com/weTrips for horse back riding in Saqqara desert and enjoyed it a lot. Here is some videos I got during the outing.

I tried to take footage while riding, but when it gets fast it’s completely ridiculous to take footage and control the horse. There is some funny parts that I won’t share, but maybe later one.

There is 2 things I liked about that outing away from the excitement, there were 2 Hijabi girls who looked so decent and had no problem outing with the group, I was really proud of them – the second thing is that praying in the desert, was a bit tough especially prostration, but strengthened the feeling of praying anywhere, under any condition.

Getting out and getting ready to start, hear my sigh @ 1:45 HeHe

 

 

 

 

Finally, I love horses so much and enjoyed that outing a lot.

Have fun!

Jason Mraz – Life is wonderful

Hey Everyone,

Amazing video I started my day with today and thought to share.

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a storie
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I’m saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la

It takes a night to make it done
And it takes a day to make you young brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la

It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a lost before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to show you care
It takes a hole to see a mountain

Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is full of
Ah la la la la la life is so full of love
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la life is full of
Ah la la la la la life is so full of love
