Pyramids and Petra

Tomorrow before the crack of dawn we will start our grand tour of Egypt and Jordan. I have to admit there is an element of fear involved but we will be seeing things that make the Roman ruins look modern. Below is a short itinerary from the website that should give a basic idea of where we're going and what we are going to see. The hotels all look very nice -
Cairo - Oberoi Mena House
Dahab - Le Meridien Hotel
Petra - Petra Marriott
