I went back to Egypt in January after first having traveled there half a century ago. At that time, I was hitch-hiking my way back from studies in the UK to home in Uganda. Then, as now, I did it DIY, travelling all over – east (Port Said, Ismailia, Suez), west (the black and white deserts), north (Alexandria and the delta), and south (Aswan/Luxor) – using Cairo as my base. My son joined me for a few days from Amman, and we walked all over the historic Fatimid quarter
