my friends just returned from Egypt. she has a celiacs disease and could not fiind much that she could eat. glad she brought her own oatmeal. she said they( Chefs)had no knowledge of what contained flour. also they had 2 armed guards with them on the bus they toured on. She was scared. so be very careful. and be aware of your surroundings. Egypt was on her bucket list.

The Israelis always have incredible quilts at International so they must have great fabric stores or at the outdoor stands.
There prices are much higher than ours or were last year.$18.-22. per metre. We went on to China and found fantastic fabrics, left my clothes and filled my suitcases with fabric, cashmere sweaters, silk undies and wore my pearls back and went right thru customs. Even their prices are higher now. It was fairly safe, we had guards on the buses but they were nice and chatted with us. Have a ball and God speed.
