icecairo at Kiki’s Deep South c...
So I make it back down to Deep South after the debacle of Dec. 2010. I was officially kicked out of the region after what I did down there. But make no mistake, I have no regrets, one of the best dives of my life.
But then I get genuinely invited by Kiki, the camp owner, because:
We (icecairo) do this awesome project

Demanding Dignity: Young Voices From ...
So I get an email from May Al Hassan back in Fall 2011 to see if I wanted to write a chapter in this book. She said Ahmed Shehab el Din from The Stream he and were publishing it. I figured why not, I was going to write a book myself about the Syrian Party, so here’s a chance to get the story out.
I had already started the blog just to [...]

Biogas Digesters in Fayoum Egypt
I visited a UNDP managed project that is installing fixed-dome biogas digesters made out of brick and cement. The project is being carried out by an Indian NGO who were contacted for their expertise. SKG Sangha has worked in several continents and installed over 100,000 units. Mr. Keran is leading a team from this NGO and is super cool dud [...]
Why little Solar P.V. in Egypt? My Re...
Recently, I traveled to Germany with a group of Egyptians on a trip hosted by the German-Arab Chamber of Industry & Commerce. The idea of the trip was to gain a better understanding of renewable energy in one of the most active countries in the world and leaders in the industry. The group was divided into two different groups, Solar and [...]
Sauti za Busara Festival – Zanz...
When some of my people in Cairo asked me if I wanted to go to Tanzania, I thought it was most brilliant idea. When they told me there was a festival during that time, I was on my way to buy the plane ticket.
The Sauti za Busara Festival was held in February. It had come to our attention through friends in Khartoum who were helping to organ [...]
Dahshur’s Bent Pyramid
I’m the self proclaimed New Year’s Grinch, so when mi amigo came to Egypt this year and suggested we hang out at his villa near Dahshour, I was all about it. The advantages were many: good friends, politically minded, out of the city, but not far from the city, limitless supplies, great weather, no midnight countdown, and right [...]

On a recent trip to Turkey during Kurban Bayramı (Turki word for Eid Al Adha or Sacrifice Eid), I met up with a friend Seda in Taksim/Beyoğlu area in central Istanbul. The comparisons of Eid between all our respective countries eventually became the topic. It was

Last year I went with a friend of mine Adel, or as we call him in post revolution Egypt, @dooolism, to the diving haven in beautiful Marsa Alam in the ganooby Red Sea. Everyone of course wore the standard gear; BCDs, weight belts, booties, fins and wet suits. I was looking to rent some equipment as well and when I asked for a wet suit, Ade [...]

Greece 2011
Niko in Aegina
On my third trip to Greece in early September 2011, my main objective was to head to Aegina, an island near the mainland, to see my good friend Niko Harlan. The last time I saw him in Greece was in 1998 with a crew of friends who had lived with us in Saudi Arabia. This time would be different. This time I would have a chance [...]
