One of the many advantages of living and working on this side of the world is the ability to travel be it for business or pleasure, all over the continent. Furthermore, companies operating in Africa have found it increasingly profitable to open up branches and subsidiaries in different regional hubs, so as to maximize their profit margins. In this context, African expatriates working on the continent can be assured the opportunity of venturing out to countries one only hears about in the history or geography books. Roughly two months ago, I had the opportunity of traveling to Cairo, Egypt. I have always wanted to some day visit the Great Pyramids of Giza, or travers the Red Sea , but never imagined it would happen so early in my stay. Though it was only a short three days, I enjoyed every minute of my unexpected and unplanned trip to the ancient city of Cairo, Egypt.
