Steve and Sally flew into Cairo a day early and spent the time exploring Cairo with a private guide from Lindblad Expeditions. Their guide
was one of Lindblad's Egyptologists and took them to Old Coptic Cairo, the Coptic Museum, St. Serguis Coptic Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Khan El Khalili Bazaars. When the rest of the group
arrived, they toured the Egyptian Museum, Old Islamic Cairo, the Citadel, El Rifaii, and the Mohamed Ali Mosque and the Khan el Khalili Bazaars. Then they flew to Luxor where their Nile cruise
on Lindblad's Triton and their tour of southern Egypt began.
