@PeteM Thank you very much for taking the time to post all this information. Some really useful thoughts and insights here. Cairo and the Nile are definitely on the list in the next couple of years.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!

@PeteM I’m exhausted just reading your fab trip report.

It’s interesting – I’d done a fair amount of research beforehand and didn’t come across this info. But the huge decoupling of the two exchange rates must be fairly new, as friends who’d been a year ago nor my cousin who left about six months ago remember it being so noticeable.
