One Night In Cairo

We are back from Aswan and arrived in Cairo about 8.30pm.  The flight took off in normal fashion and then, almost immediately took an 80 degree upward path!  I seriously don't think I have ever taken off in such a fashion!  The rest of the flight was pretty normal, but coming into land was a whole different adventure!  I'm sure I could smell something burning...... Even the hostee raised her nose to the air at one stage!!!!???  There was no such thing as a message about 'stow your tray table and put your seat in the upright position'. No one told me to put my bag under the seat, but never the less, we landed and although sections of the passengers clapped (????) I didn't actually feel nervous.

We leave tomorrow morning with a pickup at 6am!!  4 nights in Istanbul next.....
