4/19/07 - Day 9 - Back to Cairo

We got up early again to fly back to Cairo for our last night. Upn arriving we toured Old Cairo via bus, then went to the Citadel. The Citadel is an old fortress now long since converted to a tourist monument with a hugh Mosque in the center originally owned by Mohammed Ali, the king not the boxer. We took time to tour it and get a birds eye view of Cairo. It was nearing lunch so we went to a small outdoor café downtown Cairo by the Bazaar. We had shishkabob and rie pudding. Not bad. We a a little time for some laste minute shopping and then onward to our last hotel. Here at the Sheraton every said goodbye to our Egyptologist, Safy, and made plans for our last dinner together. It's hard to believe that its over already. Time went by so quickly. We saw so much. But it was a great trip overall. Be back home on Sat. Till then, Bye.
