Goodbye Egypt!
An experience of Egypt is difficult to capture in a short visit. I depart Cairo with plans for a return.
Tanis Arrival
After a long bumpy ride, we arrive at Tanis, an ancient site in the Egyptian delta. Now we wait for Friday prayers to end and the gatekeeper to return.
Driving in the Delta
The road out of Cairo leads us to Egypt's broad alluvial fan, a region called the Delta.
On the CAI Tarmac
Destination: Egypt
"Four Corners," Middle East style.
In a moment, you can see Jordan, Saudi, Egypt, and Israel-Palestine (you can't put your foot on the intersection, tho.)
