Back to Cairo
On our return to Cairo we passed miles and miles of deteriorating substandard housing - but the buildings sprout satellite dishes. When we began to cross north of Cairo we saw acres and acres of new apartment blocks. Wonder how long before they too deteriorate.
We will stay overnight in a hotel near the airport and depart for the US in the morning. About half our group are going on to Petra but I am ready to go home. Egypt is exotic, very foreign. While it has been a splendid trip, Egypt is not a place I want to visit again.
