Dear white man, I
heard you are the first to see the Victoria Falls. Hope you enjoyed the spray from the 108
meters high cascade which flows 12,800 Cubic meters per second? Well,
you haven't seen much yet. Hold
my hand as I take you through a journey of exploration through the beauty of
Africa.
First, let's go
to the Sphinx temple in Egypt and say a prayer for a successful journey. May I whisper to you that this temple is thought
of as female but the 20 meter tall and 70 meter long temple has the body of a
lion and the face of King Chefren.
Alright! Hope you prayed well?
Our journey starts.
Still in Egypt, let's start with a wonder, the Wonders of the Nile. A cruise down the
Egyptian Nile, on a romantic felluca rather than a crowded tourist boat. Get exposed to the relics of one of the world's
ancient civilizations. We climb up to the high point of the Valley of Kings and
admire the monumental statues. Do you need another prayer? Kom Ombo temple is
right at the North of Aswan on the East bank. As we stand on the apex of the Pyramids
of Giza still in Egypt, take an overview of the beauty of the Egyptian
civilizations.
Like the great migration of Tanzania, let's migrate to
Morocco and have fun at the Djmaa el Fna. The world's most exciting town square. Let's take an orange juice from the stall and
enjoy the performance of snake charmers, henna painters, story tellers and date
sellers. Should I teach you how to dance
to the beats of tribal drummers and have a taste of grillled meats?
I hope you took a lot of water because we are going to the Sahara
dunes of Morocco. The most user friendly part of the Sahara is accessible from
the Northern edge of Morocco. We trek with Berbers from the town of Zagoura.
Oh! I can see the enthusiasm in your
eyes but the frailty in your body is conspicuous. Time to rest my friend. We camp in Tazzarine
till day breaks but till then, shall we gaze at the stars till sleep envelopes us.
Blessing Bliss
