Our last night in Cairo we decided to spend in some five star luxury. We got a room at the Concorde El Salam Hotel near the airport. The room was only $111 for a five star hotel, which sounded good to us. One night of splurging on ourselves was needed. The pool, room service, huge fluffy bed, and black out drapes was a welcomed treat.
Will post photos later - at internet cafe now.
The next morning we checked out at 1400 and got the bus to the Airport, even though our flight left at midnight, we like to be early and just wait around for the flight. Midnight came and we boarded the 747-300 to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The flight was about 2hrs, they served a midnight snack and we were pretty comfortable, except for some rotten kids who screamed and jumped around on the seats the whole time. After landing in Riyadh and entering King Khaled airport, we realized our friend Blue was right, he warned us that the airport was the most boring, bland airport on earth, he was right. Our six hour wait went pretty fast then we boarded the new 777 for Mumbai. This flight was great! It was about 5hrs total and they served a very tasty Indian vegetarian meal. Being a new 777 the seats were very comfortable, with the provided pillows and blankets we were able to sleep very well. There was one little issue. There was a man sitting behind us that kept putting his dirty feet on Heidi's armrest, touching her elbow to his dirty toes. Other than that it was a great flight.
