I've just returned to Cairo from a very pleasant 3-day stay in Alexandria, a beautiful (and somewhat decrepit in a not unpleasant way) old city known as the Pearl of the Mediterranean. The photo above was taken in the Khan al-Khalili Souq, an old market in Cairo. After a couple more days in the capital, I'll head north to Port Said, where the Suez Canal enters the Mediterranean. From there it's about a 3-hour bus ride south, along the length of the canal, to the town of Suez, located on the Gulf of Suez. Supposedly there's not a lot to do in that town, save for watching the "behemoth" ships glide through the canal.
