The Essence of Egypt (a music video)

My family went on a 3-week trip to Egypt in Feb-March 2006, traveling from Cairo to the very southern tip and back up the Nile River and into the Red Sea. This video soundtrack presents the major highlights, from crawling through the pyramids and underground tombs to sailing on the Nile and viewing the enormity of the ancient temples. Accompanied by the music of Coldplay, U2, Aerosmith, Gladiator, and the Beach Boys for your listening & viewing pleasure. What do you think -- do I have a shot in Hollywood or should I keep my day job? ;-) Comments are welcome...

Thank you, I was hoping to transmit the essence of Egypt, and it sounds like you got that from the work. So I appreciate it

What a nice video! you really put a lot of effort into it

I love Egypt.....My country Masr, I hope i get the chance to go back at least one more time. it is the only place I feel at home. Cant forget the feeling when I get out of the plane and I feel the warm air :)

very nice video!! Egypt is a beautiful country...my wife and two daughters will visit this summer Inshallah..(God willing). The video was well put together, but missing some Arabian/Egyptian music in the background...Great job!:)

[mkowalcz]

Yeah, I know the music could have been a bit more regionally-oriented. Thanks for your comment ;-)

im american and was married to an egyptian and lived in egypt from ages 18 to 29. (we divorced) im 30 and back in the states now, and i sure do miss living in cairo. to visit there is one thing, but living there is quite another.....there are many americans who live there, escaping from the emptiness of america.
