Apart from one moment when we lost contact with Cairo ATC, air traffic control worked well and we were vectored for an ILS approach to runway 35 at Aswan landing after a flight of 5hr 20 mins having covered 820nm.

Tomorrow we are going to do some local sight seeing before setting off for Khartoum on Monday.
