For our last day, we elect to laze about in Rehab, visiting the souk and returning to the restaurant we first had dinner at for a final lunch. Excellent lentil soup.
Then we are off to the airport to start our long journey home. Cairo’s international terminal is chaos and insanity. The lady at the check-in counter for Emirates was talking on three cell phones while processing people in line. Dubai’s airport is way more hopping at 2AM than it was at 2PM so our two hour layover was just long enough to make our next gate. On the last leg of our journey, I said to the guy seated next to me, “when I woke up this morning it was 36 hours ago.” The standard intercontinental journey.
I’m glad we made this trip and that we did now while things are stable enough not to be too dangerous but also not terribly crowded with tourists. I’m also glad to be getting back to potable tap water.
