Greater Tanta (Tanta-Mshi Ganzor-Sanadi-Zenara-Krfas Sukarin-Babi Kafr Hammam: 41.9 kms, 27 hours)
Actual Date: August 24, 25 and 29, 2011
I arrive in Tanta (1011) at nighttime on the back of a flatbed truck—a fun alternative way of travelling around Egypt!
The main boulevard into Tanta is actually quite nice—with presentable, new apartment buildings—even some modern, clean Egyptian ...
