Khan al Khalili Market

Last night we visited the famous Khan al Khalili Market for a delicious Egyptian dinner and some souvenir shopping. Manal and Basem joined us for desert and coffee and it was a lovely evening together. Our guides, Yasser and Mina, sat with us and they're a delight to work with. Manal and Basem have attracted some very lovely people to work with their company. Everyone associated with Gateway to Egypt has been so very professional, friendly and helpful. They're a real joy to work with.

Here's a photo of the five of us sitting in one of the booths at the restaurant located in the market. Thanks to Greg for taking this photo for us!



After dinner Yasser took me to a little shop that sells music. I bought a few CDs of artists that were recommended by he and Mina. I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, but hope to soon.

Lea's upper-middle back on her left side is really sore. I just finished massaging it and the muscles on that side were very tight. I hope I was able to loosen it up a bit and that it hurts her less. She said it feels better, so we'll see.

We fly to Luxor tomorrow and I need to pack. I'll try to write again tonight before going to bed to let you know a bit about today's excursion to Saqqara.

Thanks again for visiting my blog and I hope you come back again soon.

Thanks,
Stuart
