​
There is an expression in Egypt - ان شاء الله/Inshallah - that means "God willing" or "Hopefully." This often translates to the best laid plans changing with little notice, so it's best to be flexible and willing to go with the flow. Because in Egypt, when one plan changes, another magical moment is waiting around the corner. And particularly in Cairo, we will follow a loose itinerary in order to accomodate those very special (and often last minute) special adventures!
