The trip was mostly sightseeing, but we did manage to fit in an hour with Aida Nour, who was very kind to us and managed to teach us an entire choreo to a song by Hakim. We felt really privileged to have her time for just the two of us. Great fun!
I'm planning on writing several entries in my livejournal about the trip... I'll post a link here once that's done, in case anyone feels like reading them.

Isn't Aida just the greatest?? I plan on getting in a class with her while I am in Cairo too . . . and not just the Nile Group Festival class (although I am going to take that one too). I created a facebook group for Aida too "I Love Aida Nour" . . .hehe!
So glad you enjoyed your trip. I know whenever I go that there is always something different to check out . . . and many of the same things still are fascinating . . . Luxor is fab and the 4 days I spent there was not enough . . . and I am still trying to pry myself out of Cairo for that Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan.
