Retreat from the daily demands of everyday living; take a spiritual retreat to receive spiritual renewal. The stillness of ancient places of worship, the serene settings of Egypt and the calm of a few restful days are the hallmarks of a vacation that allows you to open your mind to thoughts that rarely see the light of day. Visit mosques after prayer time when the mosques are near empty to marvel at old architecture and take in some spiritual silence away from hectic streets.
Visit ancient sites of pilgrimage such as the Al Azhar Islamic complex to see the beating heart of Islamic education. Spend time in quiet contemplation, unhurried sightseeing and serenity. Visit Coptic churches, cathedrals and monasteries to discover another side of Egypt. Attend mass to witness the timeless Coptic liturgy. Go on a pilgrimage to St. Catherine & rsquo;s Monastery to appreciate the origins of monasticism. Spend time absorbed in prayer, mass and silence. Reach a serene state of mind, retreat to Egypt.
Episode#02: Khan El-Khalili - Cairo/Egypt
No visit to Cairo is Complete without a stop at the Khan El-Khalili bazaar, where you will be transported back in time to an old Arab souk. Shop owners calling you to their stalls, the scent of spices, the hustle and bustle of trade, and the many beautiful objects that can purchased will have you lost among alleys for hours. Put your haggling skills to the test when buying statuettes, spices, souvenirs, silver jewellery, t-shirts, galabiyyas, belly dancing costumes, or anything for that matter. When your shopping's done, dont miss out on a traditional cup of tea at the famous Fishawi's cafe.
I suggest to take a look to those guys vlog in Khan El-Khalili
Would like to see you soon in Egypt.
Please take care, and have a nice day.
