The end of Ramadan is marked by Eid El Fetr. AUC shuts down for four days, and Nancy and I spent a night at the Mena House hotel next to the Giza pyramids. (Curtis was at a friend's for a sleep over, and Trish enjoyed the alone time watching DVDs on the computer.) This is a five star hotel (one of the Oberoi group) and is in a refurbished palace. We splurged on a room in the old palace part with a view of the pyramids while lying on the bed! The hotel had several restaurants - we tried the Indian one and had a great meal.
