After a good night sleep we arrived to Cairo at 13:00, about 7 hours delayed. The delay didn't feel that bad because we had slept very well on the train.

We took a taxi to Ismalia House Hotel but it turned out to be full so we walked to the next door hotel New Sun Hotel instead. The room was quite nice. It didn't have TV or private bathroom but we decided to stay here, at least the first night here in Cairo. New Sun Hotel is situated in the middle of central cairo at the 9th floor. Price was 50 pounds per night per room.

After installing ourselves at the hotel we went to check out the Hilton Shopping Mall and then to Ramses Shopping Mall. I bought two audio casettes with Egyptian music (one cassette with modern Egyptian pop and one with traditional music played with the rababa instrument). Tobbe bought a CD with music that we had heard earlier at the billiards café in Ad-Dahar.

Now, we are sitting here surfing at a internet cafe named 4U Computer and Networking.

That's all for now.
See you soon!
