It sure was excellent and more!
We sailed around in a couple of Feluccas at Luxor for a few hours. Since I'm a sailor myself I even got to take the helm for awhile
. Pretty cool boats.
The heat inside the pyramid we went in wasn't too bad, but it sure was humid and 'stuffy' inside. Heat outside was intense. At Aswan it hit 45 - while we were hiking in the Sahara!!! Luxor was just a bit cooler - maybe 40.
We ate lots of stuff, much of what I had no clue what it was. It was all tasty though. But we did stay away from salads due to being warned about the water it may have been washed in. We drank lots of bottled water - up to 4 or 5 litres a day.
Yup on the tea too, as well as tea made with various spices.
