最后的晚餐是在一个热带花园里,倒是很西式的自助餐。大家有机会和所有团员边吃边谈。不过一反一直以来团队活泼嬉闹的风格,显得有点沉重伤感,因为明天一早,我们就要离开埃及,直接从卢克索飞回去。和我们一起吃饭的还有Explore的另一个团队,明天两个团队就要重组,大部分人回去,另一部分人合组一个新团队去沙漠深度探险。我很想跟着一起去探险,可惜我的假期已经用完,不得不回去继续挣钱。我们非常感谢Dax的努力,使这次埃及游取得圆满,使得我们获得一种前所未有的体验,也大长了人类古文明的知识。一个帽子在我们手中传递,我们自愿地放了些小费,以这种方式表达了我们的谢意。
 
晚会的高潮是John写的一首歌,他用首熟悉的曲调添了词,歌词在我们手中抄传,大家一起唱着,彻夜不舍离。
