Egypt Guided Tour - Cairo (Dec 2004)



On our final day in Cairo where we get a transfer from hotel to airport, our flight out was in the evening. With time to spare, we decided to search for a place recommended in the Lonely Planet. With help from the hotel staff and a map, we located "El Fishawy" Coffeehouse (top row) to try their famous coffee. We also saw many tourists there with the Lonely Planet (Egypt) guide-book in their hands. :-)

(Bottom row) Notice the shops and street names did not even have an English alphabet in it. There was also a bazaar teeming with people.

In Egypt, we started our tour from Cairo, flew to Luxor, took a cruise down the Nile to Aswan and then flew back to Cairo.

We joined Insight Vacations for this 9-day guided tour. While I am preparing the photos, do check out the guide books from Amazon.com.
