Cairo

This afternoon, we flew from Luxor to Cairo. I found the topography so interesting to observe from the air. The area around Luxor seems to be mostly stone mountains and cliffs; the sand flows like rivers through the valleys, making interesting patterns on the ground. This isn't a very good picture (taken out my airplane window), but at least it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Toward Cairo, the landscape changed a bit and seemed to consist more of sand dunes.

Here are a few views of Cairo and the Nile from our hotel balcony.
