[...] Delicious Chaos is a site by freelance writer Nick Rowlands, who lives in Egypt. He liked my photo of the reliefs inside the temple of Seti I at Abydos, and used one to give some atmosphere to a piece he’s written about aliens and time machines. On a more serious note, he also writes about some sustainable energy projects in Egypt, so it’s well worth a look. Check it out at Delicious Travel. [...]

Great article! I was just wearing my Galabaya at the Travel Show all day today, just love it! Really the most comfortable clothing there is. I always love when I get to lead in Egypt, most comfortable! Thanks for the information on the solar project I will definitely check it out.

Hmm, the galabaya looks like a kurta but perhaps more loose. Looks good, will try a few when in Egypt.

These are great secrets you’ve shared with us, Nick! That gabalaya looks good on you! I love historic places so I might as well try Abydos temple.

When I visit Cairo I am definitely going to check out the solar CITIES project and walk through Islamic Cairo. Thanks for the tips! Like everyone else, I am loving the galabaya. I have a similar all purpose robe/skirt called a malong from the South of the Philippines. I’m all about loose fitting robes, got to get a galabaya.

Glad everyone is jumping on the galabaya bandwagon! For the record, no matter what state it’s in, it is categorically not possible to feel shame whilst wearing a galabaya. Unless you stole it from an old lady. Or get someone’s name wrong ; )

The word of the day is most definitely galabaya. Fantastic.

Thanks for the illustration of how to use it too. Seems like you can pretty much put it on at the beginning of the week and wear nothing else for, well, as long as it takes for you to feel the shame of a dirty galabaya?

Thanks for the tips, Mike. You’ve reminded me, too, that I need to write my own Tripbase three tips.

Great secrets, Nick. Abydos sounds very interesting. I’ll have to go down rather than up river from Luxor next time.
