No, that's not Lebanon

Jad's first camel ride, Dena's already a pro

Two weekends ago, we got to take a little trip to Egypt to meet my dad. He was there for two weeks and didn’t have time to stop by Lebanon, so instead we got to meet him there for his only 2 days off. We made the most of them! In one day, we tried to hit the big sites in Cairo – pyramids, museum, and Old Cairo. The next day, we went to Luxor, which blew us away! We saw the Valley of the Kings (lots of the Pharaohs’ tombs) and the ruins of two huge temples. The sites really were amazing, but it was even better just to spend that time with dad.

We are enjoying our last week in Lebanon before we come back to the states for Christmas.
