Egypt Itinerary

Now I'm off to Egypt and for some reason the flights all seem to leave Nairobi at ridiculous hours of the morning!

April 13 - 4:30am I fly from Nairobi, Kenya to Cairo, Egypt. Landing at 8:20am. I'm sure I'll just go to the hotel and catch a bit of sleep before checking out Cairo. Today will mostly be a day of relaxation.

April 14 - I have booked an english speaking guide to drive me to various sights around Cairo and I plan to spend a few hours at the Egyptian Museum.

April 15 - More time on my own to relax and enjoy the experience of being in Cairo.

April 16 - The tour takes us to the Giza strip and the pyramids and the Spinx. In the evening we board an overnight train and head south to Aswan.

April 17 - We awake in Aswan and enjoy exploring this small community located on the Nile.

April 18 - I hope to make the early trip to Abu Simbel, I hear this trip leaves at 4am! In the afternoon we will board a boat called a Felucca and we will float down the overnight to Luxor.

April 19, 20, 21 - We spend a few days exploring Luxor. I plan to also take a donkey ride into the Valley of the Kings

April 22 - Today we travel from Luxor to Dakhla, an Oasis in the White Desert

April 23 - We spend the day touring the desert and enjoying some time at the oasis.

April 24 & 25 - Bahariya is our next stop. It's another oasis in the White Desert. We do jeep tours and sand surfing!

April 26 & 27 - We are off to Siwa, the 3rd oasis stop in the desert.

April 28 & 29 - We keep heading north until we make it to Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea. Some much needed ocean time and water sports!!

April 30 - We head back to Cairo, arriving in the early afternoon and this ends the tour.

May 1 - A day of relaxing and catching some final glimpses of Cairo

May 2 - 6 A few days in NY to spend any last change I might have in my pockets though I doubt it there will be much, lol!
