As another splurge on the long holiday weekend, we all went to spend
24 hours at the J.W.Marriott Mirage Hotel. This is just about a half
hour from Maadi, and is the area of the New Cairo development in the
desert. The Mirage has over 400 rooms, and a golf course (with sand traps,
of course). But the big attraction for us was the complex of pools.
It is a great play area for kids, with a good sized water slide, and
a large wave pool, complete with a sand beach.
