The trip of a lifetime. Back home and it was such a great wonderful memory it doesn't seem real. Highlights: the gorgeous new Cairo museum, a wonderful coffee shop with a bodega cat, tutankhamun’s treasures in the old museum, and a camel ride through the desert beside the sphinx and the pyramids. Mamdouh was a wonderful knowledgeable guide. What a treat to be escorted by a real Egyptologist.
