<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 4868022, member: 87200"]I forgot to mention that the inn proprietor, Osman Pasha, was something of a character. He told me in Arabic that his breakfast was renowned throughout the country (Al-Misr) as the very largest, and also "free". And I didn't eat again til the next day. The hotel fee was £50 Egyptian pounds (about $8 dollars). Nevertheless, he sent his assistant, Mr. Atta, running after me as I left to visit the temple that morning, saying <i>bakhsheesh</i> was in order in the amount of £50. So I paid up. One of the temple guards told me he was the reincarnation of Horus and would be glad to give me a private tour at no cost. Since he had an AK-47 slung over his shoulder I didn't disagree, but that's another story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
