Egypt

9 October 2011

26 September to 9 October 2019, we had a 12-day tour of Egypt, from the pyramids at Saqqara and Giza to Aswan and Abu Simbel, then Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, Abydos, Dendera, and back to Cairo.  A fabulous trip, partly with a group and partly tailor-made extra tours just for us.  We scrambled inside pyramids, and through a tiny doorway into a crypt; ascended in a hot air balloon, and spent the night on the Nile in a felucca; we travelled on the sleeper train with all its idiosyncracies, and stayed in five-star hotels with wonderful staff.  It was a very wonderful experience.  We travelled with Encounters Travel and would recommend them to anyone.  But this is not what this blog is about, so this is merely a placeholder, to explain the missing weeks.
