Our flight arrived about 11 am, local time and we were met inside customs by our tour guide. He helped us get Visas and change money and finally after going through immigration without so much as a serious good look at us, we arrived at the baggage claim. Not too dissimilar to home, except there was a total disregard for a) your ankles- as people just moved straight through you to get their bags and b) personal space (heard of it?????). The baggage handlers could be seen through the St Bedes curtain, ( my personal name for those plastic things at airports)throwing bags on, near or just in the general direction of the carousel. I am guessing Egyptian people not send their chrysal via air??? At one stage a folded up pushchair got stuck by the St Bedes curtain and bags were either jammed up behind it or leaping out overtop of it, so some passenger had to climb onto the conveyer belt and free it while the workers looked on from behind the wall. Our bags took an uncomfortably loooonnnnggg time to arrive and there were the beginning of a trickle of fear that I may have had to spend the next month wearing this same outfit! But...no! Through they came, right near the end and we were off, through customs, where once again no one looked at us and off out of the airport and on our adventure
