One of the major perks of living in Germany is not only the proximity to all of Europe/Africa but also, the amount of holidays we get. And for Easter, we got both the Friday and Monday off to make a perfect little 4 day weekend. We've learned never to waste a long weekend, because within those 4 days, you can experience the most amazing things in the world... and this time we really did. 

Cairo, Egypt. Just two - 2 hour flights away (with a quick layover in Istanbul).
