Days 1 & 2 – Saturday-Sunday, February 15-16: Flight from U.S. to Egypt, Hotel in Cairo
The day of departure finally came. God brought together a total of 25 for this “Granddaddy” tour of Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. Using a few different flights, you all flew to Frankfurt, Germany en route to Cairo, a city of about 22 million people (the entire population of Egypt is 110 million).
Cairo
We arrived at the Cairo Airport where we went through the customary Passport & Visa procedures. Our Maryland Tours agent, Yady, helped us through the process. We enjoyed dinner together (a later dinner for 22 of us) before retiring at the Sheraton Hotel along the Nile River. We are all looking forward to this trip of a lifetime that begins with the Pyramids and Sphinx tomorrow!
“Yesterday and today were travel days as we flew through Frankfurt, Germany en route to Cairo. Everyone made their connecting flights and everyone’s luggage came through too! We are looking forward to our first full day in Cairo.”
Day 3 – Monday, February 17: Memphis, Sakkara, the Pyramids, and Sphinx, New Grand Egyptian Museum
