1980 Egypt Cairo

19th November 1977 changed our lives. Saturday evening The Light at the end of the Runway was Anwar Saadat's Plane landing at Ben Gurion Airport.
A New Era started in The Middle East.
19th November 1980 I was in Cairo and saw the Colour TV's in Chan El Chalili Market showing Saadat in the Knesset.
A year Earlier I was in the Transit Hotel Cairo Airport as I was not allowed in to Egypt and I was sent back to Athens.
I visited Egypt a number of times in the Eighties twice under Saadat and twice under Mubarak.
