An internship of cold showers...

We worked hard and finally it was ready!

Our photo exhibition!

A day that got me working from morning to night, but sure was fun.

We, and by that I mean all the interns of the project, gathered in the new campus of the American University of Cairo, and decorated the gallery, printed materials and made all the preparations!

Guests started coming after the first hour of the opening, an hour that sent many cold chills down my spine, but it was worth. Seeing people looking at our work, asking for it, and actually being tempted to visit those place we were showing, was the best reward we could get!

Unfortunately, because of factors beyond our control, we had to cancel the other two days of the exhibition. Nevertheless it was a nice experience!

And here comes the 30th of July.

A day that started really early...and had me, Dauren and Irina, heading to Giza...

We reached Giza by metro. Every taxi driver asked for 30 pounds to get us to the pyramids.

But then we found the "No1 driver in Egypt", an old guy that took us to the pyramids with only 10 pounds, so to speak.

He actually took us to one of the many offices that operate in the area around the pyramids, offering tours around the place with camels or horses.

Of course we took the camels!

The tour lasted for an hour, since we took the cheap package, with only 100 pounds each.

Our two Bedouin guides took us to the second largest pyramid, and they made arrangements with the police officers so we were able to go, touch and climb up the pyramid!!!

Then we went to see the tombs of three queens, and then we went to the last part of our tour...

The Sphinx!

If you ever asked me some places I would like to see in my life, I don't think I would mention the Sphinx, so I was quite surprised to realize that I actually really wanted to see it!

It was like a dream coming true. I felt really excited and happy to be able to see that huge statue from so close, and actually be able to gaze at Cairo,almost the same way it does, everyday, so many centuries...

That night we had our goodbye party.

All the interns of our project that were left in Cairo, gathered along with more interns and Egyptian AIESECers, and had a beautiful party.

It's funny to think that the majority of people that were at that party, will not be in Cairo 24 hours after it...

This morning I went with Irina to Khan el-Khalili, to get the last souvenirs...

And now I'm writing these lines, home alone, since all my roommates have left...

So, that was my internship and the unique experience I lived thanks to AIESEC.

Don't miss the next post of my blog, that will be written in Greece!

Now I'll go prepare my luggage!

Salam!
