Today was was a travel day. We flew from Luxor to Cairo. Our hotel is the same one as on the first day we arrived here. We spent most of the afternoon resting – reading and napping.
Our farewell dinner was on a landlocked river boat on the Nile. It was a good meal, but the travel time to and from it in the mad Cairo traffic made it a bit tedious. I know that it was a special occasion and it should have been a treat to eat on the Nile among the bright lights of the city, but we just spent four days cruising the Nile in a much more serene atmosphere.
Back at the hotel, we said goodbye to our companions that are flying home tomorrow. Seven of us are going on to Jordan.
As we were heading through the lobby to our rooms, we came upon a wedding. Guests were lined up at the bottom of the main staircase waiting for the bride and groom. When they appeared, music started playing from native instruments and women started ululating. It was fun watching and listening to it.
It’s past 9:30 and we are getting ready for bed.
