A Picture & a Story from a Couple of Egyptian Gals on the Seawall in Alexandria

I may be half way around the world, but the scene is the same.

 

Couldn’t help but reflect as I explored the seawall near the Citadel of Qaitbay in Alexandria, Egypt, that despite being dressed differently, how similar the young women are there to our young women in North America, at least in how they choose to spend a leisurely day, being sure to document it for the social feeds.

 

“Smile!”

Erica Hargreave is the co-founder and editor-in-chief for Roamancing. Her vision for Roamancing is in sharing the love and beauty in this world of ours, as we explore different cultures. Over the years, Erica has won awards internationally for her writing, podcasting, and filmmaking.

As a traveller, Erica was fortunate to grow up in parks, learning about the natural and cultural history of places from her mom, and accompanying her dad on work trips abroad, where she'd explore the area on her own, taking her dad back to her favourite places once he was done his meetings. These days, she can often be found road tripping and hiking with her cat!

    So true – things are so similar around the world, despite our small differences!

      Amazing how few of us are aware of that though, especially when we see different clothing.

    Great observation. It seems that similarities are greater than differences. To bad that these types of observations are limited to travelers. The media images seen by the general public can be so skewed.

    Love Egypt 🙂

    Of course we’re more similar than different! So messed up that so many have come to believe otherwise.
