Beside 30 mosques there is also a Coptic church, our next to the last goal of the city tour in Hurghada. The main aisle of the church is increased and it is flanked with two somewhat lower side aisles, with which the building resembles a Basilica.
The Copts are the proof that Christians were already very early not always quite agreed. They have cut off themselves in approximately 3rd to 5th century after Christi birth. As characteristic the Copts possess their own language, which developed from different Egyptian dialects. Today, their circulation area reaches from Egypt to far in the south of Ethiopia.

For the last station we surely visited the bazar street, but no: “ We don’t want to buy a Rolex.” The same is true for jewellery, cigarettes and more than ever for a bong. However altogether we were less flashily treated, so that we at least could expend some money for beverages. Cause so cheap lots of the things are, they don’t hit our gusto. And figures, which show ancient Egyptian deities , I have already some - as well as in the meantime 36 sheet printed papyrus. By the multitude of lights, which a shop offer, I also ask myself , how anyone will bring them home safe.

Less then calmness found two young women on the bazar. Not only, that marketeer hold them clothes closely on their bodies ( in the way these guys would like to see it one their women), but also that a younger guy was so arrant, that he pressed himself on the back of one of the woman. Luckily only few Egyptian are so flippant - it’s a pity that, only this ones fall in ones attention.
