In Oman we would often take the 4WD and go "Wadi Bashing" - driving off road, or on poor roads in the dry valleys and interior of the country. Yesterday we did our first Wadi in Egypt, Wadi Degla. We did not have to drive far, Wadi Delga is 5 mins away from Maadi on the edge of Cairo and is a natural park, meaning a 5LE entrance fee. The road was poor in places, a reflection of the latest rain the country had whilst we were in Lebanon but with our 3L pajero that did not stop us! Nor a few Egyptians in their toyota corollas. We went to a leaving party and so had a picnic and the kids could roam around in herds clambering over rocks and generally doing what boys do, exploring and climbing. Its a very nice, uncrowded place and you really do not get a sense that over the hill is a metropolis of 19million people.
