Taj Palace hotel

“Somewheres East of Suez.” 

Arrived at 03:30 immigration and then to hotel.

immigration very busy even long line to get through the main channel. Very nice pick up and ride to the hotel. Hotel is about 29 km south of the airport, the city has 29 million people.

immigration process: I have an e visa, which is all digital and then they have you fill out the old fiche. name address, passport where you’re staying on a piece of paper basically same information that’s on the visa. Add, do not subtract. 

Plan: nap, eat, Airtel esim
