We checked out of the hotel and hung out at Star chatting and playing backgammon.

Later we went for a sunset horseback ride on the beach (yet another dream realized). I rode an awesome mare, she was the horse belonging to the guide, they didn't have enough horses so he gave me his seeing that I had some experience. We trotted a lot, which was uncomfortable for Mohab seeing that he didn't know how to post, so, I chalked up my guts and urged Natasha into a canter, his horse followed. After we stopped I looked over and saw the biggest smile on Mohab's face, it was the first time he'd ever really cantered and he loved it! These horses were so much better cared for, and better trained, than the ones we rode at Giza on the last trip.

We got back to the restaurant and hung out for a bit, we talked to a girl from Australia for a while. I met the most wonderful 'wild' pup.

We caught the bus back to Cairo at 7:30 pm.
