Paphos Intl -> Cairo Intl
Distance: 319 nm
Estimated fuel burn: 46.1 gal
Estimated time en route: 2:40
Very beautiful afternoon as we are heading towards Egypt. Quite boring start of the trip, with an hour and a half over water, but soon after that I had the first glimps of the African continent. Port Said was the first city we overflew. It is the starting point of the Suez Chanel, a waterway linking Mediterrana with the Red Sea. I folllowed the channel towards Ishmaila where I turned west towards Cairo. Quite a few ships in the Suez Channel this day.
Before landing in Cairo, I took a small detour to admire the pyramids, Sphinx and Cairo city. I didn't expected the city to be that big.
In the next flight I will follow the Nile to the south and hope to spot more of the Egyptian monuments and landscapes.
