Doug Hackett writes: “I went on a guided group tour to Egypt last April. Egypt has been on my bucket list ever since I was a kid. I spent six days at a hotel on the Nile in Cairo, visiting the Egyptian Museum, a mosque, a Coptic Christian church, a bazaar and spice market, the pyramids and the Great Sphinx of Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis, then seven days on a river boat sailing from Luxor up the Nile to the Aswan Dam, visiting Karnak, Valley of the Kings, King Tut’s tomb, Abu Simbel, Ramses’s Temple, and the Sahara Desert. I even rode a camel (not a smooth ride; don’t see how Peter O’Toole did it….)”
