I saw the museum name and Googled it - (In my memory I was thinking of the Museum of Islamic Art, but couldn't remember the exact name.) Imagine my surprise when the Google search hit on Epcot! I didn't recognize any of the landmarks - I've never been to Epcot (or Cairo, for that matter.) I just knew a little bit about a couple factoids and was able to find the real info. My husband Tom will be very happy I played this game!
