Egypt 2010: Day 01 Cairo - The land of the Pharaohs...

"I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense..." - Harold S Kushner

(Kuala Lumpur - Cairo)

It was a full moon over the land of the pharaohs when our plane began to descent for landing at the new Cairo International Airport. The cold October morning air felt liberating.

We were met by our tour guide and were transported in a limousine to the hotel. When we crossed Cairo city, it was still very early in the morning and the traffic jam was beginning to build up. The 5-star Mercure Le Sphinx Hotel was located in the Giza province overlooking two of the three majestic pyramids.

We had to wait for a while for our room to be ready. After a refreshing bath we had our much needed nap to rest tired body and woke up to order room service of steak and sandwiches to fill hungry tummies.

The whole night was spent in the hotel room watching movies on TV.
