I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
We weren't looking forward to the first lot of flights which was; Gladstone/Brisbane/Singapore/Dubai/Cairo. We weren't too worried when we had to make a medical emergency landing in Hyderabad, India for a crew member who had become sick. In fact it was good to see that the life of one was more important than travel schedules and onwards connections. Having said that, here is where it all went wrong!
We should have had two hours and twenty minutes up our sleeve to make our connection from Dubai to Cairo, but as we had to dump our fuel to land in Hyderabad, we chewed up all that time.... and a bit. The end result was that we missed our connection in Dubai (although the plane was sitting on the tarmac) and had to fly via Beirut to Cairo. So it was Gladstone/Brisbane/Singapore/Hyderabad/Dubai/Beirut/Cairo. As I am writing this we are cruising around the Cairo ring road in a mini bus doing 130km with no seat belts. To say we are tired is an understatement!!! Hopefully that is all our bad luck used up for this trip. We made it to Cairo in one piece, with our luggage, and the tour company staff seem really good so far. So bring on a good nights sleep and the pyramids tomorrow.
