We got off of our night train back from Luxor and immediately went into "Last Day in Egypt Party Central." Heba and Nayeli had previously told us that they had a day party and a night party to attend today when we were coordinating our flight to Turkey and our train back up from Luxor. We thought it would be more important to spend time with our friends than get sleep. That is exactly what happened!
We arrived to the girls home at 10:00 a.m., repacked our stuff, took showers, had 3 coffees, had an amazing homemade Mexican breakfast, and by 3:00 p.m. we were out the door on the way to the day party. How were we getting there? The way Egyptians do - by the Nile! We happily hopped on a 20 minute boat ride down the Nile, skipping traffic and enjoying the rainbow that was coming out on this rare rainy day.
The day party was set up just like a festival, only it was an island on the Nile. There were tents set up everywhere and Egyptian-style blankets underneath them. There were two live bands and two live DJs playing pop and funk, depending upon what style you wanted. After we finished up there, we went, grabbed our stuff from the girls' house, and went to the night house party.
At 2:00 a.m. we had to leave for our 4:45 a.m. flight to Turkey. We had such a great time in Egypt and it was all due to these lovely ladies. Next stop, with minimal sleep, Turkey!
