Egypt: Cairo

On our last day in Egypt we toured Cairo.  In the morning we saw Coptic Cairo and the Hanging Church (it hangs between two towers from a Roman fortress), which is the oldest Christian church in Egypt and has a palm tree said to have been planted by the Virgin Mary.  Then we headed to the Citadel and saw the Mosque of Mohammad Ali, which also boasts a stunning view of Cairo and the Pyramids.  Finally, before heading to the airport, we grabbed a traditional Egyptian meal of Koshari - rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas and spicy, garlicy tomato sauce.
