Thanks Mark for bringing back memories of Egypt. My trip there finished three weeks ago... It's interesting to see the same places with your eyes. Great job! I dressed up as an Egyptian for the same $10!

Not sure you're supposed to drink the embalming fluid! I like the tip about the young salesmen, I encountered some myself, they grow up very young out there!
