It's great to see an African Report, since many miles are not redeemed on the African airlines.

I've been fortunate enough to visit Cairo twice, once in 2006, and once in 2011. Although Cairo has changed, I still find it a fascinating city worth visiting. The desperation of those vendors in the Khan el Khalili market leave something to be desired. Almost no tourists are visiting there now.

It is nice to see that the DXB-ADD flight is being served with the 777-200 equipment. I have seen the 767 and the 787 scheduled onto that route over the past 8 months, and as a result, you don't often know exactly what you are going to get. There does seem to be a large difference between the 777 / 787 product and the old 767 product and with that awful departure time, you'd want a decent bed.

I'm not one to usually suggest improvements to trip reports, but since you asked for comments... if you put the equipment type in the header of the flight that you took, it makes it easier to search the forum to see what kind of seats you can expect with an MS A330 etc... (instead of having to read through the report). Fabulous photos though, the lie flat seats look great.
