As we walked, dusk slowly fell in a wash of pink and grey, with the young lovers taking advantage of the darkness. Once we reached the Hyatt Hotel, we decided to go in and visit the revolving bar at the top. The elevator took us up 40 floors, but at the top we found only a deserted bar and restaurant; as it wasn’t yet open, it also was not revolving. Still, as no one made a move to kick us out, we wandered around the circle on our own, taking photos of the bubbling enclosed fountains and the nighttime view. After leaving the Hyatt, we walked back along the promenade in the dark, enjoying night views of the boats on the river and the changing colors of Cairo Tower. Then we walked across the bridge and back to Zamalek. There we ran into some other ELFs who invited us to join them at an authentic Egyptian restaurant for dinner. I quite liked the food, although I was sad not to be able to eat the pita bread. The service, though, was slow and indifferent.
