I was born in Cairo, Egypt, but left (with my parents naturally!) when I was just three weeks old. For some strange reason I’d never felt any particular desire to return to my native country but I was bitten by the Egypt bug on my trip down the Nile (see previous post). That had left me a little frustrated because we’d flown directly to Luxor skipping Cairo altogether and I really wanted to see the museums in the capital and, on a more personal quest, see if the building where I had spent a few nights as a newborn still stood.
