Final Day in Cairo

Although we are to fly to Tel Aviv this evening, as our flight is at 11:30 p.m., we had nearly the entire day in Cairo. We spent much of it at the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo, which we were able to walk to from our hotel. The museum is full of fascinating artifacts, including most of those found in the tomb of the boy king, Tutankhamun. Unfortunately, as no photos are allowed inside of the museum, I don't have any to show. But I did purchase a book with photos of many of the items, so at least I'll have something to remember them by.

Tonight we fly to Tel Aviv to start the second leg of our vacation - our journey through Israel.
