Egypt Part1

Salam and Eid Mubarak!

Today is the 4th Day  of Syawal.

And fyi, the celebration of Eid in Malaysia take the whole month!

how merry the Eid Celebration in Malaysia is :)

I'm uploading some of the pictures during my internship in Egypt. Though this pics are not about the internship training itself. More to the 'chill-out' moments.

This is what Masr looks like when I first stepped out of the airport. It was in winter so it's quite cold. Because Sofiah and I were very excited, we didn't wear any coat to let the breeze absorbed to our skins. How childish!

Me in front of Masjid Imam Asy-Syafie. The symbol above the Dome is actually a sampan or canoe which represent how wide the knowledge he gathered through travelling (i made this up.hehe) If you happen to read about Imam Syafie's history, you'll know that he traveled quite a few times in his journey of seeking Al-'Ilm.

This was the first Egypt's food I ate. To'miyyah! It was so delicious and of course just need a few cents to buy it. It was crunchy mashed eggs added with tomatoes and carrots. (and some of the ingredients I'm not sure what it is)

"Abbasiah Cairo Malaysia Hall"

The place I stayed for four months at the forth floor (it's actually the fifth! and the highest WITHOUT elevator. no wonder I lose some weight.haha) 

The view captured from my room slightly after the dawn. It is so peaceful and serene with the sound of bird chirping! :)

Me and Sofiah tried to do something extraordinary after the Subuh prayer to avoid us from sleeping. Jogging (read as brisk walking) at 5am. This last only a day as the Adhaan for Subuh started to crawl earlier. The last time before I went back to Malaysia, it was 3.30am!

This is how Talaqqi classes in Masjid Al-Azhar look like. All the classes at Masjid Al-Azhar were actually recorded by AzharTV production. You can check it out at their Youtube channel. 

Some of my friends at the Talaqqi Classes under Shaikh Amru El-Wirdany.

This was during my visit to Alexandria. Alexandria is very much different to Cairo as the place is very..very..very beautiful and clean! The air is fresh and the breeze from the sea is so pleasant. Riding a bike in Cairo is considered 'Aib or disgraceful for women however it is okay to ride it here.

See how clear the sea is! 

It's like I was sitting inside the aquarium in Aquaria KLCC :)  

Sub7anallah and Ma shaa Allah!

p/s:  I remembered that after my visit to Alex, my skin started to become red (sunburn) and very dry. And the worst of all, I had a puffy face.

and the next day.....

I'm gonna end it here. Till then! Thanks for anyone who read this. You're cool! ;)
