Salam Egypt, Cairo

We met with Caroline and the Approach group at the Toronto Airport at 9:45 and were in the air on time at 12:45.
Flight with Egyptair was good (9.5 hours), and we arrived in Egypt at about 5:30 am Egypt time. A lot of security before leaving the airport and it took a while to get going to the hotel. The hotel is very nice and our room is lovely! 16th floor overlooking the Nile 😊
First impressions of the city.... old, very "brown everything", quite dirty and smog. We are in the newer part, so a little better.
Had some breakfast, which I really didn't need as we ate on the plane before landing. Very nice restaurant with a big selection.
We are now in our room to take a nap (I am having trouble with that part), then we will head out for a felucca ride, dinner, and a light show at the pyramids tonight.Read more
