  1. What can I say about all of this information. If you still remember it all when you land in Egypt, you will become your family's tour guide.

  2. Why is Egypt one of the most important importation centers of the world? A few of my teacher friends taught in Cairo. They have some great things to say about it. I heard that they like to bargain aggressively in Egypt, so don't get scared if there's yelling involved when you want to buy a souvenir. Oooh, can you guys write something about the food you plan to eat in these places?
