Egypt - first impression

so, i'm back. ( once as bad, twice as ugly :) )


i was considering posting a few articles on egypt, cairo and our (my) experience there, but since i'm in-office now and don't have access to the pictures and all that, i'll just post some first impressions for now.



so ... the hotel was nice ... though not the five stars we were told it would be ...

i mean, it was five stars all right, but those were granted by the Egypt government, not the international community (or whatever it is that grants stars to hotels :) )

we had a tv, nightstand console for the lighting inside, and radio (didn't try the radio though), and it was very clean (i'd say three or four stars).




We saw the three pyramids and the sphynx, Zoser's pyramid, some museum - the national one, methinks (and tere were no pictures allowed inside :( ), the bazar and that's about it.

here are the pictures i now have access to:
