We were not so sure about our choice of flying with Egypt Air to Accra, Ghana in the beginning. However, the outcome surprised us in a big way.
During the 21-hour layover in Cairo, Egypt, we started the amazing adventure of Summer 2017 before we even arrived in Ghana!
After checking in at the hotel Maddie Gomez and I began our Egypt tour with a trip to Giza – an Egyptian city on the West bank of the Nile River. There we rode camels, touched the pyramids, got an up-close look at the Great Sphinx of Giza, and listened to the unique legends of pharaohs. We were extremely curious about the Egyptian culture and very happy that we had the chance to explore and experience different customs thanks to Media in Ghana!
We highly recommend Egypt Air for travel. It is cheaper and nicer than the most U.S. airlines. The service and foods are surprisingly good. You can get an Egyptian VISA upon arrival at the Cairo airport for $25. The hotel and airport shuttle are reliable with reasonable prices.
