The Eye: Driving in UAE









Can you imagine the time and money required to get a driver's license in the UAE? Well, that's another issue, In Egypt dr iving was a piece of cake fo r me:) there is no safe distance between you and your neighbor ly cars we literally snuggle all the way. If you get to third gear that's your lucky day! Dubai is something els e! I've been here for three months now I can hardly find my way home! I failed my first test but that's the trend they say lol! so wish me luck I'm heading for my 2nd try ,I should worry about finding my way when I get to the photo booth for that flash of approval!

Creation: Nothing Compares



I received this beautiful short promo about Egypt my home country and all I could think about was how a positive outlook can bring out the beauty and essence of any given place. People can choose the pictures they want others to see. They can create messages of hate & decay or be messengers of love and progress. This promo doesn't cover the realm of Egypt but it does show what lies underneath the piles of sand and aimless camels. enjoy:)

Cinematic: Transformers in Egypt


Shia LaBeouf bigger than the pyramids of course!


It's always possible for a Megatron to be slightly taller than the Sphinx

Transformers Revenge of The Fallen, pays Egypt a happy visit! as the battle between the Megatrons & the Decepticons heats up! I'm always thrilled to see our land marks on the silver screen but I just can't get over watching the pyramid get demolished. Egypt is a hot spot in movies these days; Twilight? Apotamkin? rings a bell? yes, we suck blood, we're scary. Iron Man? the terrorist? yes, we breed them! needless to say that we sleep under camels and wrap ourselves with tents (we do worse!). Why is it too much to see the "Other" as "Normal"? Why the constant stigmatization of any thing Egyptian? Hard feelings since the Exodus? We weren't there... The da** Pharaoh got what he deserved...just saying, Gosh!
