Cairo

We just landed in Egypt. Flew here from Delhi via Frankfurt - not the most direct route, but only Lufthansa of the Star Alliance flies here so we didn't have much choice of routing on our round the world ticket. Running the gauntlet of taxi touts at the airport here was an ordeal - even more so than elsewhere. Getting into the hotel was pretty high security - first the taxi was checked for bombs by a guy with a mirror and a torch, then we had our bags go through an X ray and we passed through an airport style metal detector. Not sure if this makes me feel safer or less safe

We'll try to figure out an itinerary for our time here tomorrow in between a visit to Islamic and Coptic Cairo.
