I loved the cats of Egypt. Often hungry and very friendly. I had an Egyptian guide with us and would often tell him we had to find a shop to buy a particular cat some food. He told me that Allah would bless me for being kind to all living things. I still donate to Animal Care Egypt who do a wonderful job in Luxor.

It was a shame you can't take photos inside the Museum isn't it. When we were in the King Tut exhibit we were not allowed inside the room with the Mask as their was a visiting President from a South American country (I forget which one now). My guide went and spoke to the guards and the only word I could understand was American. We were let in with the important people. I asked our guide what he said. He said that he had said we were American (we are Australian) and we had finished our tour and this was the last stop and we didn't want to wait. He said American is a world power and we do not want to upset any Americans so they that's why they let us in straight away.

Looking forward to more of your post.
