I’m currently editing the video footage taken whilst in Egypt two weeks ago with the purpose of creating a 10 to 15 minute video of our whole trip but in the meantime here’s a snippet of our visit to The Sphinx and The Pyramids at Giza. You’ll notice that its’ particularly busy because it was a national holiday whilst we were there.

Watch out over the coming weeks for more footage. If you are interested in taking the same one week trip that includes 4 nights on a Nile Cruise and 3 nights in Cairo please take a look at our One Week Nile Cruise and Cairo page.

We landed back at Manchester Airport on Monday after our week away gathering new content for the main Nile Cruises 4u website and here on the blog.

It was just over freezing when we landed on Monday evening and quite a shock after the fabulous weather in Luxor and Cairo.  Quite a few passengers were still in shorts and there faces were a picture as the pilot told them what the weather was like.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be adding lots of new video, audio and photo content to the site so please watch out.

Having posted the video of us landing in Cairo I thought I’d add the short video of our touch-down in Manchester.  Dont’ ask why, its’ just for all the aircraft geeks out there!

Sat at Manchester Airport. It’s 07.11 and we’ve been up since 4.00 to get to the airport. Our eldest daughter Sophie kindly drove us to the airport and has promised to pick us up again (which is handy!). Flying with Monarch at 9.00 and should be in Luxor around 4 local time. Getting through security was really quick and easy even though it was quite busy. Seems to have changed since last time I was here. If you get to security and realise you need a clear bag for any gels or liquids they have machines selling them right at the security point. You need pound coins though. Manchester airport looks pretty nice now as they seem to have redeveloped Terminal one departures completely. Can’t find a book that interests me enough to buy so I’ll be spending my flight tome catching up on the various podcast on my iPhone which I’m using at the moment to blog this. What a fabulous gadget an iPhone is.
