For example, we knew we were going to spend next winter in Luxor, Egypt back in February. We have only known our flight choices and details since last week. And today, we booked and paid for part of our journey, the nights in Cairo.
We still have not confirmed where we'll stay during a prior 5-night stopover in Dubai. Yet, we're now positive of where we'll be sleeping in the Egyptian capital. Our nights will be in a familiar place near Taalat Al Harb Square. We started our Near East trip there in the spring of 2014. I love the vibrancy of that area. This time, our stay in Cairo will last four nights. Then, we expect to head up to Luxor on a train as it runs south beside the Nile River.
