I think that those of us who have given ourselves a little more time in Egypt may want to divide our time between Cairo and other places. Those with shorter times may only be able to visit Cairo. A group effort in Cairo for the first two or three days may be a worthwhile option, and those with a little more time could travel a little more in the rest of that week. > I'd be glad to explore the city with you guys, wherever you go.

The Pyramids may be tall enough to be seen for a good distance. Unless you are an unusually enthusiastic walker it could be enough to face the Pyramids and walk straight ahead to avoid getting lost. :-) > It's not that I get easily distracted, it's that I'm just not entirely > there: my mind is always half in the clouds. An optimist would take this as a symptom of genius. :-)
