Citadel Shenanagins

Headed to the citadel today, fancied a wee bit of a tourist outing, as my hubby had never experienced this unique representation of Egyptian military history.  Bad call.  It was 41 degrees and very very sticky.  Nonetheless, we persevered and managed to achieve a family outing that my daughter (14) will evidently remember as another  traumatic event in her recollections of her teenage years, yip, scarred for  life.........if you want to follow our exploits check out my blog at

It's just a bit of fun with some handy hints thrown in

hello maireadhoey, I really like ur blog and I like ur sense of humor. and Absolutely there are some good places else u can visit.

there is some section it shows u as a highly critic and some of Egyptian people may take it in not a nice way.

but I can consider it as troubles we have and we should know it to find some solutions.
anyway thank you for sharing ur blog with us

Hi mero

I know I may not always say what Egyptians want to  hear but....I love Cairo so much I have chosen to make it my home ....everywhere has problems, but I have every confidence that the Egyptian people will come through this turmoil and put Egypt back on the world stage as an example of a cosmopolitan , inclusive,  and diverse society ....an example of what we can can achieve when adversity challenges us to raise our game.
