Wow, great account!
I was in Egypt in 1981 (Sadat STILL alive) and despite it’s history the country is a third (or fourth) world sh*thole and the masses are taught to hate and or side with the Islamic Brotherhood against the regime and the West.
Actually in Luxor the hostel shower holes were also the hole for excrement. Nice, huh?
Glad you enjoyed it-when you mentioned the worlds biggest museum of Egyptian artifacts, it made my mind swim with memories-I thought it already existed there!
LOL, in the museum I was in back in the Seventies, they were probably only showing a fraction to the public of what they had stored in warehouses!
