1st Night in Cairo

 

Arrived in Cairo this evening after a 4hr flight from Dubai. Have to say, traffic was quite an eye opener!  They have lanes but choose to drive between them. Cars at only inches apart on the highway with an odd system of beeping their horns to signal their right or left approach - not out of anger, just alerting everyone what they are doing, like birds chirping. Our cab was a bit of a shit box - my window would not roll up!  Julie needed her asthma sprayer immediately after going back in time to 1970’s car emissions!  This is NOT Dubai. Highly secured hotel and not a place we would go for a stroll at night unarmed. Tomorrow is the big day — morning in Memphis and Saqqara, then over to Giza for lunch and touring the Pyramids.  Hopefully some great pics to follow shortly!
