Hello friends, I am making a first post here with an entry from Egypt. This was a unique experience for me. It made me realize how meaningful it really is.there is life when you travel and get to know the world when you touch different people, religions and ways of life
.
This is our first adventure in Egypt, for which I was not prepared to tell you honestly, because I thought I could ride an ATV, but in fact I couldn't. I come from a completely different country from the one in Egypt, it's just another world here. People and animals, even the air we breathed were different.We started our adventure by getting on an ATV and heading towards the Sahara desert with a group of people of different nationalities.
We went through the hot desert but personally I didn't have much strength to push my ATV on the road and we had to ride in a column one at a time, it was difficult, I was yena who dared to drive alone without someone to drive her and it played a bad joke on me the first 20 min.The sand we had to ride on was in all different shapes and my ATV was in danger of turning over on the road but I still gritted my teeth and started riding like mooing.We had to pick up over 70 80 km per hour to not get stuck in the sand so we went about 25 km into the deep desert where your adreline is maxed out and the sand in the eyes does not forgive anyone. That's why we had to be so veiled because these clothes protected against injury to the koya and the eyes.
When we arrived, I was shaking all over because the adrenaline had risen to my throat. Really living is amazing people just so different emotions overwhelm you within 20 minutes that one simply does not know how to feel. Happy, scared, excited, emotional, mad at myself haha .Our journey was with a final destination through the Sahara desert to a so-called Bedouin village in the desert where there are many poor people who do not from their customs and do not give way to the new 21st century and its technologies and conveniences in which modern man lives.Although they look very poor inside their souls, these people are extremely rich, and I felt it myself, but I will regret it later..
When we arrived, we were treated to a traditional Bedouin Egyptian tea, who pick and prepare the Meydu sand themselves over an open fire, because for them the fire is a way in which they can warm themselves, cook something or make tea.I noticed that no matter how little these people had, they always did everything possible to make you feel good, which filled my heart with joy.This proves how rich a person is.
After the sweet Egyptian tipple, we headed out for a ride on their traditional Egyptian Yivotni camels
I had a great desire to ride a camel, because in general I like riding both horses and other animals, but as soon as I got close to it, I immediately is she like an animal.There were waiting for us some little girls who were taking care of the animals, who were about 10 years old. Can you imagine such a small person living such a life.Well, that doesn't stop them from smiling and being lovable, because my dear, we were just as weird to them as they were to us.When I reached the camel I felt a strange feeling of love, they are really amazing animals.Many of us did not have the courage to go up, but I am brave and wanted to try everything that this magnificent country offered me.
To touch such a different world. Egypt is located on African soil and I think it is clear to you that they do not have much opportunity for a good life.But they don't run away, they don't complain and they don't look for something better. they accept what they have and enjoy it with a heart that fills my heart with faith.To touch a radically different world of yours. Your convictions your beliefs your everything you thought was nothing really it was more than anything 70% of people in the world had, people like them for whom water is gold bread is a gift. Filled with so much gratitude and so much emotion, I gave everything in my power to help these beautiful little children and set out to get to know more than their lives
Here we arrived at the mother of the little girls and their home. What you see is their reality indeed.They are dressed that way because their religion does not allow them to show their flesh in front of other people. As warm as it was, they did not allow themselves to reveal themselves.And believe me, it was really warm outside, it was around 10 degrees, and the only thing that protected them from the bright sun was a straw hut.A hut that they built themselves with their bare hands. Only handy materials that they get from the desert. What they are capable of, they have secured for themselves.Here, the mother, not the family, prepared for us traditional Egyptian bread on a plate, which, as you can see in the photo, is again homemade.The little girl collects the wheat and grinds it on this stone plate which she grinds until she gets a sms similar to flour. And it's only her years.Then he adds a little water and grinds it down to a very thin pancake moe bi if I can call it and then bakes it until it's kind of like a rusk.Their main food and sustenance is the tea they pick and the wheat they turn into breadcrumbs on a plate. The camels given to them by mother nature which are incredible animals that help them a lot in the difficult life that they lead because the camel is the only animal that can survive in such eastern conditions.Without food and water for several weeks, these animals can walk through the desert and carry a heavy load on their backs to help their master.
This wonderful experience made me experience a variety of emotions and take some profound Yiteish lessons. Happiness is not about what you have and in what you are inside.I think her value system is quite different from theirs. When we really think about what kind of life most of us lead.As I said with this trip something in me changed on a deeper level. My consciousness simply looked inside and recognized what it could not see until now.
Each of us lives a different life. There is a different point of view and opinion. But each of us deserves love and respect precisely because of the example that we set gave these people.
Respect yourself, appreciate yourself, respect yourself. Help the weakest and poorest of you. Because we are the people who can make the world a better place.
**From the thoughts of an adventurer. I love myself my life and you :)
