 Dear Friends,

We have booked 11 Days personalized package of #Egypt tour through TravelTriangle website. We had done good online research before finalizing itinerary.
We landed in Cairo which is capital of Egypt. Our flight was Jazeera Airways which was quite comfortable.
#Cairo is a mega city and well developed. There is left hand driving here. We saw quite big roads which were clean. We did not see any autorickshaw so far. Also footpaths are not occupied by road side sellers or hawkers. Food is not sold on road. My first impression is good.
Police is found in almost every square.
We are yet to explore many things in Cairo which we will do when we come back for 3 nights next week. Right now we are proceeding for Nile Cruise.
Last night we had been to Light and Sound show at Giza Pyramids.




The light and sound show gives full history of Egyptian civilization, Pharaohs, their lifestyle and dynasties. It is delivered in different languages every day. Yesterday it was in Spanish language. We were given audio translators with ear plugs to hear in English.
Initially it was interesting but later on a little boring. However it is worth visiting. Extreme wind and cold weather in April was not expected by us.
We had packed breakfast from hotel today morning as we had early morning flight to Aswan. When we opened in flight to Aswan, an egg was found with breads. Perhaps it was a "Vegetarian Egg"? So well, Vegetarian food is a big problem in Egypt.
Will share more about Aswan and Nile Cruise as we proceed ahead.
All is well so far.
