Fragen im Gegenzug zu Deutschland beantworte ich natürlich sehr gerne. Ich hoffe auf einen regen Austausch und gemeinsames “lernen”

Ok ihr Beiden, mögt ihr mir das Bild erweitern welches die Deutschen von Ägypten haben? Dieses Mal kann ich selbst Einiges beisteuern, da ich bereits 1x zu Gast in eurem Land war und einen herrlichen Urlaub genossen habe!!! SO herrlich, dass mein Mann und ich zur Erholung von den Herausforderungen des Jahres 2022 im Januar erneut nach Ägypten fliegen werden… schnorcheln, essen, schlafen… UND… KEINE Aufgaben oder Verpflichtungen, davon gab es 2022 mehr als genug… (für ganz, gaaaanz viele Jahre )

Was wissen die Deutschen über Ägypten?

  1. Gastfreundschaft
  2. Pyramiden
  3. Kairo
  4. Null
  5. Tal der Könige
  6. Luxor
  7. Fakultät
  8. Pharaonen
  9. Sphinx
  10. 3x so groß wie Deutschland, etwa die gleiche Einwohnerzahl
  11. Kamele
  12. Beduinen
  13. Quadfahren
  14. Schnorcheln
  15. Wüste
  16. Mumien

Das hat Spaß gemacht!!! Wir waren zu Sylvester 2019/2020 in Ägypten und ich habe noch nie in meinem 50jährigen Leben ein solch lebendiges, farbenfrohes Silvester erlebt wie bei euch (im Hotel) Nun weiß ich nicht, ob dies lediglich für die Touristen so gefeiert wurde, oder ob dies bei euch einfach überall im Land so ist?

Wir machten eine Quad-Tour mit, etwas was man augenscheinlich als Tourist zu tun hat

Die festgebackene und von den Rädern mit Fahrrillen versehenen Wege durch die Wüste ließen mich fühlen, als säße ich auf einer Baumaschine. In Deutschland nennt sich das Rüttler, ich habe keinen blassen Schimmer wie dies übersetzt wird, aber es war staccatoartiges rütteln des Fahrzeugs das ich noch in den Knochen spürte, als ich längst abgestiegen war.

Wir tranken Tee bei den Beduinen, ich denke auch dies ist nicht original gewesen, aber es war ein wunderbares Erlebnis.

Ich saß auf einem Kamel, das Aufstehen und Hinlegen des Kamels ist für ungeübte eine ECHTE Herausforderung!

Wir schnorchelten… oh welch phantastische Unterwasserwelt… allerdings muss ich sagen… sobald ich bei den Riffen ins Wasser sprang hatte ich automatisch die Titelmusik des weißen Hai im Ohr

Die Tempel waren atemberaubend!!! Ich kann nicht in Worte fassen wie mich diese Jahrtausende in den Bann geschlagen haben!

Das Tal der Könige… Monumental!!!

Ich komme nicht umhin zu erwähnen, dass man Ägypten besucht haben MUSS!!

Bitte, schreibt mir doch unbedingt weitere Ergänzungen!

Und was wisst ihr über Deutschland? Gerne beantworte ich Fragen die ihr schon immer mal wissen wolltet oder ergänze Dinge von denen ihr gehört habt.

Ich erwähnte meinen 2ten Urlaub in eurem wunderbaren Land, der Fischreichtum im roten Meer hat mich erneut begeistert.

Ausgerüstet mit einer AKASO 4K V50 Elite Cam ging es in das Hausriff des Albatros Citadel Hotels.

Der helle Wahnsinn:

Ich habe über 400 Fotos gemacht, aussortiert, optimiert und dann mit der Photo Studio App ein paar davon für euch in hübsche Rahmen gesteckt :rofl:

Begeistert war ich natürlich ebenfalls von der absolut herzlichen Gastfreundschaft und dem (sicherlich im Hotel an westliche Geschmäcker angepassten) hervorragendem Essen!

Und, mich als Local Guide, hat zusätzlich gefreut, dass zwar das Hotel selbst, aber nicht die große Auswahl der Restaurants auf Google Maps vertreten war.

Ein Umstand, den ich umgehend zu ändern wusste :wink:

Oh vielen Dank @Mo_TravelleerX , aber ich weiß leider nicht viel mehr als ein durchschnittlicher Tourist befürchte ich.

Bei unserem ersten Urlaub haben wir Luxor besucht, waren im Tal der Könige, Schnorcheln bei einer Boots Tour, in einer Alabaster Werkstatt und natürlich mit dem Quad in der Wüste und dem, was den Touristen als Beduinen Dorf “verkauft” wird.

Kurzum, wir haben ALLES mitgemacht was man als Tourist gesehen haben sollte :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Über die mit Sicherheit nicht an allen Stellen völlige Authentizität habe ich lächeln können, eure Geschichte, die Tempel und Grabstätten haben mich jedoch zutiefst beeindruckt und das sogar sehr nachhaltig!

Mein Stand ist also der einer Touristin mit ein wenig kulturellem Background.

Aber ich bin gewillt zu lernen!

Jedes Gespräch im Hotel mit den Angestellten, welches über die höflichen Floskeln hinaus geht, erweitert meinen Horizont.

Ungewöhnliche Arbeitszeit Modelle zum Beispiel. 40 Tage arbeiten, 10 Tage frei.

Von morgens 8:30 Uhr bis nachmittags, dann Pause und von dem späteren Nachmittag bis Mitternacht.

Das hat mich sehr überrascht.

Und die fröhliche Einstellung dieser Arbeit gegenüber ebenso.

Ein anders Beispiel, ein Kellner ist nicht nur Kellner sondern zugleich wie ein Entertainer.

Und der Verdienst eines Kellners liegt durch die Interaktion mit den Touristen und deren Trinkgeldern höher als der eines Kochs hinter dem Tresen des Buffets.

Das ist in Deutschland völlig anders. Kellner verdienen nicht gut, Trinkgelder werden hier auch nicht grundsätzlich gegeben.

Natürlich gibt es eine Faustformel zur Berechnung was angemessen wäre, 10% der Rechnung, aber das machen nicht alle. Zum Teil, weil sie es nicht einsehen, zum anderen, weil sie es sich nicht leisten können NOCH mehr zu zahlen als die eigentliche Rechnung.

Wir runden über diese 10% hinaus meist auf eine runde Summe auf.

Also, was denkst du, könnte mir oder auch andern die hier lesen, aus eurem Alltag völlig neu sein?

Ich bin immer wieder überrascht, dass Dinge die für den Einen eine Selbstverständlichkeit sind, bei den Anderen Erstaunen und Neugier auslösen.

The best time to visit Egypt depends on your personal preferences and the specific activities you plan to do.

If you are looking to avoid the hot and humid weather, winter (November to February) is the best time to visit Egypt. The temperature is mild and comfortable, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

On the other hand, if you’re looking to enjoy the warm weather and the many water activities available on the Red Sea, summer (June to August) is the best time to visit. Keep in mind that during this time, temperatures can be quite high and it can be uncomfortable to be outside during the middle of the day.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that the high season for tourism in Egypt is from October to April, so if you’re visiting during this time, you should expect crowds and higher prices for hotels and tours.

The shoulder season, from May to September, is less crowded and prices are generally lower, but it can be hot and uncomfortable during the day, so it’s best to plan your activities accordingly.

In any case, it’s always a good idea to check the weather forecast and pack accordingly, and to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself from the sun.

oh wow bentornata @Stephanie_OWL la vacanza ti ha fatto bene, hai ancora più carica di prima! haha mi fa piacere che ti sei divertita Stephie, un periodo di relax è assolutamente necessario per ricaricarsi durante l’anno. L’ Egitto è da sempre nei mie sogni di viaggi, ma non la vacanza di qualche giorno, un viaggio di esplorazione del Paese di almeno un mese e visitare non solo i posti famosi da turista, ma tutte le meraviglie nascoste che solo gli abitanti del luogo possono conoscere. Ho letto con molto piacere tutte le informazioni che ha scritto @Mo_TravelleerX , vi ringrazio entrambi perchè mi avete fatto sognare per qualche minuto :pray: . Spero tra qualche anno di poter esaudire questo mio desiderio. Ho letto che anche tu sei una fan del Falafel e io e @DENIT33 in questo suo post ci stavamo chiedendo quale sia la ricetta originale, magari tu e @Mo_TravelleerX potete aiutarci :blush:

Quando sarà il turno dell’Italia taggami, se posso farlo aggiungo qualche cosa anche io :wink: .

Grande lavoro :clap:

The recipe for falafel in Egypt typically includes mashed chickpeas, onion, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and spices like cumin, salt, and pepper. It is then formed into balls or patties and deep-fried.

Oh ja, auch mich würde ein originales Falafel Rezept SEHR freuen.

Am Buffet gab es sie auch einmal in grün, ich vermutete, das Erbsen eventuell eine Rolle gespielt haben könnten?

Nachdem ich die Aufzählungen von @Mo_TravelleerX nochmal und nochmal gelesen habe wäre Kairo eigentlich mein naheliegenstes nächstes Ziel, ich möchte irgendwann einmal unbedingt ins Museum dort und zu den Pyramiden.

Allerdings habe ich ab und zu so meine Probleme mit größeren Menschenmengen und Großstädten :wink:

News @DENIT33 la mia collega di Izmir mi ha confermato che i legumi vanno usati crudi previo ammollo di un giorno e una notte e poi di lasciarli asciugare molto bene anche con l’aiuto del forno ventilato acceso al minimo, ha detto che è molto importante eliminare tutta l’umidità e per questo motivo che non si cuociono altrimenti assorbirebbero troppa acqua che poi rilascerebbero durante la frittura. Nel wk se riesco li preparo :hugs:

Possiamo concludere l’indagine e confermare che i legumi dei Falafel non vanno cotti.

yes @DENIT33 ma sto ancora indagando x quelli con le fave, ti tengo aggiornata :wink: :kissing_heart: @Stephanie_OWL ho indagato anche su colore verde, non sono piselli è il prezzemolo! In alcuni posti come in Egitto mettono molto prezzemolo che da il colore verde, questa informazione arriva da una ragazza che ha lavorato a Londra con uno chef egiziano :wink: :kissing_heart:
