Heart of Africa !!




Don't even Ask !!

So, turns out i'm more spontaneous than i've thought, when i randomly decided to go to Kenya, and spend 10 days with my favorite people there, i was told Nairobi, the capital, is a really dangerous place to be for tourists, however i felt that was kind of overrated, besides, i'm Arab, who would kidnap me?

Dahab

On top of Mt.Sinai
 
Dahab's coast

Dahab, my personal favorite city in Sinai. Jumped on a 7 hours bus to Dahab around midnight arrived on early morning, quiet beach town overlooking the mountains of Saudi Arabia and the borders with Jordan & Israel.
Tip: if u're ever in Dahab, go to the blue hole, one of the best snorkeling & diving spot in the world

Germany


MarienPlatz, Munich

Leila, Mathias' niece
Heidelberg


Heidelberg Castle

Deutschland, my favorite of all Europe so far..My friend Mathias picked me up from Stuttgart train station and we had a quick snack, then drove to his town which is in the south of Stuttgart only 20 minutes by car. I love his family , great people.
Next Day we went on a day-trip to Heidelberg City, which is the northest i've been so far in the world..The other day we went to Munich, my favorite city in Germany so far, expensive city..Got on a tourbus and then went to the HofBrauHaus for some drinks and Dirndl girls.. Finally, had to say goodbye to Mathias who had to leave back to Stuttgart for work, while i spent the night in a nice hotel in Munich to catch my plane the next morning to the Egypt....

United Nations









It feels great being dressed in formal, walkin' down the streets of Geneva at 7 am wearing the U.N tag around your neck..Met hundreds of people from all over the world at the conference, was a special experience indeed..If it wasn't for the time i forgot my microphone was on and kept singing " i like big butts & i can not lie " and saw the interpreters behind the glass laughing their asses off when they heard me singing..

GeNeVa



3rd most expensive city in the world, in 5 days i spent in Geneva almost as much as what i've spent in Egypt the last 2 years, August 3rd got on a plane to Geneva for my United Nation conference in the "Palais Des Nations" in Switzerland. It was definitely the most diversed program i've ever been on.
Why the hell would i pay $20 for a big mac at McDonalds? or $5 for a bottle of water...

Southern Islands

Ko Nangyuan




My hotel

One of the most beautiful places i've ever laid my eyes upon, the entire southern islands of Thailand are amazing, it was a great week there had to rent a quadbike to move around the island, made friends with a couple of really cool guys from Haifa,Israel who were also bagpacking through SouthEast Asia. The day-trip to another island called Ko-Nangyuan for snorkeling was also a great experience that i recommend for anyone who'd like to travel...
