In case you haven't taken a look at them already, I urge you to check out my pictures from Egypt:
Part 1 - Cairo, Aswan, Luxor Part 2 - Luxor, Alexandria, Istanbul Erin and I spent 8 days touring around the country at a whirlwind pace. I feel like we hit almost every major landmark in the country.
We even got a chance to visit the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque during our 6-hour layover in Istanbul.
