My visit to Cairo Egypt first began when I got off the plane at Cairo (CAI). I arrived in Cairo at approximately four in the afternoon. I got off the bmi plane which is AA's partner airline. Distance to the Sonesta Cairo Hotel is seven kilometres, about 10 minutes away from the airport. I took a taxi to get to the hotel.

Breakfast was O.K., no bacon of course and no fresh fruit. Coffee passable.
We had to give up our rooms, and put everything into Dennis room. Our tour leader was still grumpy and annoyed that we were running a little late. He had rambled on a lot in his introduction and wouldn’t ...
