We had an absolute awesome time in Cairo, Egypt last week. Mainly because our guide, Ahmed, was so positive, so smart, and so enthusiastic every minute (he's a 28 year old Egyptologist and former Natl. Egypt Team waterpolo player). Noa loved him! We have so much to say and share about Egypt: the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, the welcoming people, the Muslim religion we learned so much about, burned buildings in Tehrir Square, all of King Tut's stuff, the most amazing Palace suite we were upgraded to at the Mena House Oberoi hotel, the million mosques & call to prayer trumpeting throughout the city, the Nile River (sadly, with no more hippos or crocs in it)...
but alas...
it is late at night once again...
and we did not plan much time for computer blogging, when we are busy all day exploring and making new friends...
So here's a few photos to keep you intrigued until later:
