Day1: Arrival

We landed at Cairo International Airport around 11am, went through the immigration then straight to the luggage claim area. There was no hassle going through immigration because we have the Visa ready prior to departure.

While at the luggage claim area, there was one very friendly guy came offering to assist with our luggage. He reminded me to my friend's advice, "when you collecting your luggage at the airport, someone will come to you. Be careful, sometimes they will ask for ridiculous tips". So we decided not to entertain his offer. Better do it ourselves rather than spoil our holiday mood on the first day.

After collect all luggage, we walked out the luggage area. We saw one guy holding paper with my name. He must be our travel guide. He introduced himself and welcomes us to Cairo. He starts his job by explaining a lot of things and talking and talking and talking. Actually he was the protocol guy whom only assists at the airport. Our travel guide is at the hotel waiting for us.

This is the Semiramis Intercontinental Hotel, the hotel we stayed while in Cairo, very good hotel.
