Egyptian Daily Diaries: Fayoum ~ Ancient Seabed to Budding Artists

May 3, 2012 By Emme Rogers 10 Comments

Despite the best laid out plans, corrupt video, internet connectivity and far too much fun held up my Egyptian Daily Diaries, but I did still film them and will be sharing them with you now that I am back home.

From Day 2 of our Egyptian holiday and a fascinating day trip to Fayoum, here are Lucy Duck and I, from the fabulous tub at the Fairmont Nile City Cairo:

 

 

A few pics from the day and a tease of what’s to come from some more involved posts on Fayoum on Roamancing:

In the spirit of disclosure, it should be noted that on this trip, our expenses were paid by Egyptian Tourism, as a guest to the country and the UNWTO Media and Tourism Conference.

Sample the “Drink Me” Potion at Your Own Risk

Don't try to find a beginning or an end to this site, because there's not one. That will only cause you frustration and I don't have the money for your therapy bills. Mine are already expensive enough.
