Alhamdo Lelah, we were very fortunate to visit our families
in Europe and Middle East.
We visited my dear brother Mohamed and his wonderful family
in August 2007 in Berlin, Germany. We utilized the
transportation methods Berlin has using the metro, buses, and
the train. We also walked a lot.

After Germany, we visited my dear sister Sana and her
daughters in Egypt where
we spend time in my different places. At the beginning we stayed
in a tourist town of Ghardaka where the sun is always hot and
the water is always calm. Ghardaka a developing city is right on
the Red Sea. We also spent time in Cairo where we visited the
museum of Cairo and the Pyramids. The last days in Egypt, we
stayed at my sister's summer home in El-Sahel by the
Midediteraen Sea.
