It's a 12 hour plane ride to Egypt. It's not often we go to another continent. We should go somewhere else! Right? What's around Egypt? Out comes the trusty Google Map.
Possible locations:
Morocco - Monique just came back from Marrakesh and said it was fun. That's close to Egypt right? No.. not really. It's on the other side of Africa. Go New York education system Geography!!!
Dubai - Way too expensive.
Jerusalem - This was doable. It's close, there's a bunch of stuff to see there... the holy sites, the dead sea (I really wanted to float in it - heavy salt content in water makes people float). Unfortunately, Israel is really hard to get to from Egypt. Sure we can fly there, but Egypt Air and El Al only fly there twice a week (Mondays, Fridays) and it costs about $400 for a ONE way. Bus rides are about 15 hours - you have to get off at the border, go through custom and go on another bus on the other side.
Conclusion:
Let's just stick with Egypt. We'll go to the other cities mentioned in the guide books:
Cairo, Luxor, Alexandria and maybe a city along the Red Sea coast.
