Thanks for the great report. I've always wanted to visit Egypt, but now who knows. The fact that this likely was a bomb is quite disconcerting and makes the idea of a visit more unlikely.

Thanks for the weather warning and the suggestion to visit in the winter. We made the mistake last year of going to southern India too late in the winter and thought we'd die of the heat.

When you said the situation reminded you somewhat of Mumbai, did you mean the heat or the intensity or what? We liked Mumbai.

Thanks. Well, I didn't like Mumbai much, frankly, although I suspect it's improved since I was there almost 15 years ago. And I was stuck out in the northern burbs.

It was my first real "developing" country, and I was there on business, so had little time to explore.

It was the dust, the air pollution, and the chaos that reminded me of Mumbai.

Please can anyone that stay in Cairo Egypt give me a name of perfume Essence shop, where I can buy the true oils, online or call them and place an order? and will receive the true oils nothing cut down or water down. I would greatly appreciate. It's been years since I've been to Egypt, I used to buy them there all the time unfortunately I have forgotten the name of the shops that I bought from.

Hmm, can't help you. I bought from a lovely shop in Luxor, but I have probably lost the bill. They were very good, and may have a shop in Cairo too. I'll look around and see if I have the name somewhere, but doubt I have it, sorry. I know what you mean, I bought papyrus oil, and love it.
