Salam and hi,
Here is the Part 2 aka what we do on our second day in Alexandria. First, breakfast in the hotel. Roti arab, boiled egg, cheese 2-3 jenis, fig jam and honey. Boleh makan but sikit2 je la. haha. Boleh makan roti cicah madu je. huhu

Later, we went to Roman theatre (Built in the 2nd century AD, this Roman amphitheater has 13 semicircular tiers made of white and gray marble). With student discounts we paid 15 Le bahagi 5. This place is a proof that those Roman people has conquered Alexandria one. More details about this place can be seen here. It takes about 1-2 hours touring around this place if you really appreciate the history. If just jalan-jalan tangkap gambar probably 30-40 minutes pun cukup dah.
Then, we went to Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa. With student discounts, we paid 25 Le each. But they didn't allow camera/video inside, so no pictures. This place a bit in the middle of nowhere. Susah jugak nak cari. Pusing-pusing in the city for a few times, tanya random strangers banyak kali baru jumpa. Bila sampai, ada quite a few British and American tourists gak kat sini with their own tour guide/translator. This place is also one of the seven medieval wonders of the world.
It was Friday that day and the guys want to perform the Friday prayers. So, we went to El-Mursi Abul-Abbas Mosque. A quite famous mosque in here. Built in 1929. Cantik but tempat perempuan dia kecik skit and toilet hmmm... could do better. Anywhere in Egypt pun actually could do better in terms of hygiene to be fair.
Habis sembahyang, kami semua lapppaaaar. Blame the breakfast. And we want KFC. Murah and nampak macam sedap. Bila makan, memang lagi sedap daripada UK and comparable to Malaysia nye KFC. Menjilat jari ;D
Dah kenyang, kami menuju ke Montazah Palace Gardens. Paid 7 Le per person. It is rather an abnormally huge garden. Ramai orang kahwin shooting sini, couple dating datang sini, picnic family pun mari sini, sambut birthday pun kat sini jugak. They have pantai yang boleh pancing ikan, naik boat, makan-makan. Macam ada kat sini. Kebun kurma pun ada jugak.
Petang sikit, kitorang ke Manshiyyah Market. Pinat and me bertungkus lumus mencari jubah, tudung untuk diri sendiri, orang pesan etc etc. But susah rupanya nak cari yang cantik and murah wuuu. Kat Malaysia and Indon lagi banyak rupenye.
In the end, agak hampa jugak sebab tak dapat beli apa-apa sangat. beli 3 helai shawl= 100 Le. mahal2. uk pun lagi murah shawl. Then, beli jubah arab color meriah tu 25 Le each. Beli 4 jadi 100 Le. Tu je :/
Malam tu, kami ke San Stefano. Tempat shopping posh kat sini. Dekat dengan Four Season Hotel. Kitorang beli dinner chinese food take away, jalan-jalan tengok kedai, makan ice cream, jumpa beberapa orang Malaysia yang study Egypt, then balik hotel awal. Not sure why. Maybe sebab dah penat and kereta bunyi pelik. Kene bawak bengkel.
All in all, kalau hotel ada heater dah perfect dah trip hari ni. Oh kalau TV ada channel English and Wifi available pun best. Tipu orang hotel kata ada wifi tapi takde pun sebenarnya. Nak surf only kat lobby from 10 am till 3 pm =.='
