[QUOTE]Originally posted by walkingathinline: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shahrazat: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MK the Most Interlectual: [qb] ^^ Luxor is great compared to the scheisshole called Hurghada. When I lived In Luxor back in the 90s it wasn't dirty with garbage everywhere. Is this a new disaster that I hadn't witnessed? In my opinion, the major cleanliness problem in Luxor is the horse manure that gives one a runny nose with thick green sticky snot for several months before one's system finally gives up and adapts to it. Luxor's magic is in its primitiveness. It's like you travel back in time! While Hurghada is a modern resort lacking any beauty and is a typical example of the miserable planning and 3'aw3'a2eya of the modern Egyptians. Ayisha? [/qb][/QUOTE]That's what I thought while reading 7ayat's post. And Luxor is getting better. I havent seen those garbages either. Only in some rural part of Cairo there are some of them. There is a city called Varanasi in India, the holliest city for Hindus and one of the holliest cities of Budists. Luxor is like London when comparing with Varanasi. The dirtiness, misery, mess... those words are not enough to express it. BUT what makes it charming for the people is the combination of those things. And I don't understand people calling EGYPT dirty and won't recommend it because of it the trash everywhere... Funny yanii... :) [/qb][/QUOTE]HUH??? you haven't seen garbage anywhere??? do you have an eye sight problem? or are you just talking about in Luxor??? it's not just in the rural areas! it's everywhere - even in Maadi, ex-pat heaven! people don't want to see a bunch of trash sitting next to the pyramids or lying on the ground around all the beautiful mosques in islamic cairo or on the beaches of marsa matruh or in the Nile - it's gross!!! it takes away the beauty...i don't think it's so hard to understand people not wanting to go to a dirty, trash-ridden place!!!! people pay thousands of dollars to visit some of the world's most amazing, historical sites and this garbage thing is a real turn off for people...i just met this british woman last month in NYC and when she learned i had been living in egypt, the first thing she commented on was the trash! now, i haven't been to Luxor since last march and on the main streets there, it is pretty clean...but the minute we went off wandering just a few blocks off the corniche, there was trash everywhere!
