Another nice write up. Sheryl has always wanted to go but not sure if I could handle the grift/traffic.

Maybe we'll go when things have calmed down in the region, a Night boat to Cairo cruise with escorted tours to keep the locals at bay

Nice hat selfie again, which airflow? I need one but not sure about wider or narrower brim.

Well the real pushiness only really seemed to happen around Giza, which I guess is not surprising as that is where the tourists congregate but yes, being part of an organized tour probably helps too. I didn't notice any particular tension, which surprised me, and people were generally pretty friendly. The traffic was horrific though!

The hat is this one:

I have a smaller one too, but this one is great in full on sun and 35+ C temperatures.
