Day 5
Alexandria - Luxor - Jeddah
Don't ask me about the theives that serve as agents in Egypt, but needless to say having disagreed with them over whether I would pay the hotel direct or they would pay, things did not go smoothly on our departure from Alex! A 15 minute start delay while waiting for the agent to finish his work was followed by 30mins running on the ground waiting for traffic (3 fixed wing arrivals). Our clearance was "Flight Planned route FL110" but eventually they settled for FL95 VFR.
We were vectored for an ILS at Luxor and then had to clear immigration which we should have done in Alex, so we were a couple of hours later out of Luxor that planned.
FL95 to Jeddah was smooth and a night ILS to 34R uneventful.
Nice hotel at Habitat close to the airport.
Off to Riyadh now.
