The entrance...
On our way to Alexandria, we stopped at a mini zoo. Actually it was an open zoo, where most of the animals roamed free... well, they did have cages but some could actually just jumped out of their cages...hehehe. Except for the big lion, thank goodness! Hehehe...
We wanted to bring the kids there because we wanted them to have fun too. Hadi was so excited at the prospect of playing with the animals. The others were just too glad to get out of the van and had a walkabout...hehehe...
Actually it's not exactly a zoo. At the entrance we could see a restaurant and the animals were caged in the surrounding area. It was some sort like an entertainment park where people could bring their kids to see the animals, play games and eat. They served authentic egyptian food as well because the workers/cook came from the surrounding villages. They made one heck of a delicious roti!
The animals were quite varied, from small animals like terrapins, rabbits to crocodile and lions. There was no entrance fee and we were free to roam around the area. It was a bit smelly but that comes naturally with the territory...hehehe. Anyway, I think the kids enjoyed the break from historical visits tremendously.
