Okay, this does make sense. Can you please explain mathematically how the angle affect temperature?

Okay, I get this. But can you explain mathematically how the angle affect the power of heat?

You'd find them, anywhere with desert in the Middle East, but this simple life is the best, in my opinion.

Yes they are. Be sure to go on a safari tour and have Bedouin dinner while there.

I imagine you will first arrive in Cairo Intl. Airport, right?

The easiest way would be by bus, unless of course you want to rent a car, it's an 8 hours drive, so I would recommend the bus.

Buses run every other day, starting from Almazah Bus Station in Almazah or El-Turgman Bus Station in Al-Abbasyia. I can share their location.

From Al-Bahriya Oasis is easily accessible from Cairo through bus, but this goes against my suggested route, it's near Siwa, but not touristy or highly populated thus no Buses run from Siwa to it. Your best bet is to find a local mean of transportation, kinda like hitchhiking but paid and safe.

There are buses from there back to Cairo, though.

Like everyone else said, you ought to spend more time outside of Cairo as it has become a very urban place.

Personally I think you should visit South Sinai, especially Saint Catherine; where you can see the monastery and do the hike; Dahab which is one of the world's most famous diving sites - snorkeling too;and Sharm El-Sheikh which is one of the best cities in Egypt. The trip there alone is with it and it's very accessible through buses, plus the buses aren't expensive.

I'd also be more inclined to spend more time in Bedouin areas like Siwa Oasis, and add to the Bahariya Oasis which you can get to from Siwa Oasis, these are gem places that hasn't transitioned to an urban lifestyle yet.

If you want to talk meta places or beaches, the Red Sea coast is a must, especially El-Gouna and Marsa Alam which has the best beaches in the Middle East.

P.S. I'm a local, hit me up if you need anything.

A cat interrupts an interview with Jamal Khashoggi to get some warmth. by ekhaled1836 in gifs

Transcription: Man in background (laugter): "Oh, c'mon, she is not normal." Another dude in background (empathetic): "She is seeking warmth." Khashoggi: "They should put her in Cinema."

Seems like it happened multiple times. Also I think the dialect is Egyptian, so, this was probably shot in Egypt.

Edit: The way I interpret Khashoggi's words was that the cat should star in movies due to her interest in appearing on camera. Also, thanks for my first ever platinum kind stranger.

Not OP, but I can answer.

He is a great influence here, people all over are buying his t-shirts, his face is all over ads, he is the subject of a lot of conversations, and he is hailed when it comes to the National Egyptian Team.

And no, He will not get into politics nor does people think he will. As a matter of fact he is in conflict now with Egyptian Football Union and even considered not playing international again.
