Just to try something different, Nancy signed us up for
a free trial golf lesson at the Katameya resort that is
about ten miles east of Maadi, and is part of the New Cairo
development. The resort, like the rest of New Cairo, has
risen out of the desert. Even though this is close to Cairo,
it is at a slightly higher elevation, and has prevailing winds
that result in clear air. Extensive irrigation is used to keep the
golf course and grounds green.
