The Cairo Club

[UmmSqueakster 54]

Come one, come all, to a thread on all things egypt related. Share stories about dealing with the embassy in Cairo, Egyptian culture and history, recipes, and the joys (and heartaches)of having an Egyptian SO (or being Egyptian yourself).

I think your theme song should be "Walk like an Egyptian"

I can't tell you the countless hours I spent in my room as a teenager lipsyncing to this song.

I actually like them on my guy.

Here's a question for ya.......I keep asking Usama why he does not want to grow a beard. Religious reasons aside, when he does not shave for like three days lemme tell ya I almost have to shut the video cam off because he's HOT with a beard!!! He told me that he'll explain why the next time I visit....he couldn't talk about it over the internet.

Anyone know the answer to this mysterious question? Or is he just pulling my leg and he'll just say, "i don't wanna'. lol

My husband has mini sideburns. I wish he would grow his goatee back, but alas. And it's too much to hope for a sunnah beard yet

Am I the only one who wants to dress her egyptian (LOL) up in farmer clothes? I heart goes pitty pat for a man in a galabiya. Well, not the older, skinny men who wear dirty galabiyas around Cairo. But my husband in a galabiya? Mmmm!

He actually made me wear his father's galibiya one day because I was soooo cold and he thought I could wear it to bed. I didn't but I really wanted him to try it on.

OMG

Between that and the day old stubble............

Men with beards in Egypt are suspected of being part of an islamist group. They're discriminated against for jobs and whatnot, especially if they have the sunnah type beard - untrimmed but no mustache.

I have my husband's galabiya! I look like a little girl in her daddy's clothes

OMG it's been so long since I've seen Moh that I had to look at a pic to see if he had sideburns. Ok he has teeny almost non existant side burns.

I like the beard to a point. It's cute for a few days then it's gotta go. Moh is lazy about shaving so he'll let it go for weeks. When I was there I had to remind him every few days to shave. He is pretty hot with stubble though. I'm so NOT a moustache girl. Sorry to all of you who like them or have husband's with them...moustaches remind me of Burt Reynolds.

There was a song that he listened to constantly on the radio by this woman who I think has since died. I have no idea the name of it or even if it was different songs that sounded the same or what but it was really really really long. She kept repeating the word "habibi" a lot if that helps. He said she was very famous and loved and that she performed the longest songs.

Anyone know who I'm talking about? I really didnt' care for it but I'd give anything to be able to download it now when I miss him.

I'm not a big fan either. The thought of food getting stuck in there just grosses me out.
