Pyramids and Cairo Museum in Cairo; Alexandria, the bohemian city of Dabab, the Sinai Peninsula, Shram-el Sheik and Hurghada for a sea vacation, Luxor and Abu Simbel in the footsteps of the pharaohs, the list goes on.

  1. I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? great work!

  2. Since Ukraine's very cheap currency is worthless, we expect our guests to come to Odessa as student translators here.
    Experience the underground caves and borscht for sure
    thanks

    • Hello, parent, okay, let's say we came to Odessa, how can we find cute helpful Turkish students to help us, I think it would be great if you could provide us with a resource, if we could get a network, even if friends from other regions could share their network connections.

      • I think you can communicate through Couchsurfing or Facebook groups. There is a high probability that Veli Bey could not see your message.

  3. Are you sure that the content information of 1manat 3.77tl is correct? Even the Ghana currency has passed us now

  4. dear lady,
