Travel

Although part of what made an impression on me was being there the first week of November 2008. We voted by absentee ballot prior to our trip.



The hotel bars absolutely cleaned up staying open late with expats and visitors watching CNN all night.

If I was into ancient Egyptian stuff, and had time to do it right, I'd still budget less time for Cairo - pyramids, check; museum, check, and take a river cruise to Luxor.

Egypt is the Nile. Watching it roll by from the river would connect you to what the ancient Egyptians were connected to.
