Egypt have changed hotels three times in their search for suitable accomodation since arriving in Ghana but the Pharoahs appeared fully at home on Tuesday as they opened their African Nations Cup title defence in style.
The defending champions made light of the loss of several key players including suspended skipper Ahmed Hassan to dish out a resounding 4-2 win against Cameroon.

Tuesday's second Group C fixture saw Zambia, in their first finals since 1994, belying their minnows status with a 3-0 success over the Nile Crocodiles from Sudan.
James Chamanga, Jacob Mulenga and Felix Katongo punished poor defending to earn Zambia their well deserved win which remarkably lifted them ahead of Egypt to the top of the group on goal difference.
Not bad for a team that had lost its kit in transit to Ghana last week, but unfortunately for their fans back home the exploit will have gone largely unnoticed.
Zambian state broadcaster ZNBC was unable to come up with the funds to buy the rights to the competition, leaving access to satellite channels the only answer.
Results at the Baba Yara Stadium Tuesday have left four-time winners Cameroon with a real fight on their hands to make it to the knockout stages.

Samuel Eto'o was responsible for the 1988 titleholders's goals taking the Barcelona star to within one of Laurent Pokou's all time Nations Cup record of 14 but that wasn't enough to deny the Egyptians.
Within the first quarter of an hour the 2006 winners were 2-0 up after a penalty from Hosni Abd Rabou and Mohamed Zidan, who bagged a double in first half stoppage time.
Cameroon pulled a goal back six minutes into the second half when Eto'o nodded home off a right cross before Abd Rabou hit Egypt's fourth with an 81st minute belter.

Eto'o gave the scoreline some respectability in the dying moments of the game when he netted from the penalty spot after an Egyptian defender was penalised for an infringement inside the box.
Zidan said the win proved to Egypt's critics that they weren't in Ghana to make up the numbers after a lacklustre qualifying campaign, and weren't about to give up their title without a struggle.
"We're a strong team, and we're not here to just be a member of the tournament, we're here to show we're strong enough to win the title for a second time in a row.

"We will give everything to our fans and the country."
The result will have proved especially painful for Cameroon who were out for revenge after the Egyptians, who have found memories of west Africa having won the title in neighbouring Burkina Faso 20 years ago, cost them a place at the 2006 World Cup
Cameroon will be desperate to put the wheels back on their Nations Cup campaign in their next match against Zambia whose coach, Patrick Phiri, said: "It was important that we won this match but I noticed some lapses in our defence and this we must work on before our next game against Cameroon."
For Sudan experience and pride appear to be the issues left for them.
"We lost this game but must now look forward to our next two games and see what we can make of them," said a downcast Sudan striker Faisat Agab.
"We like to play under pressure and so expect us to play a lot better in our next game (against Egypt)," said Sudan coach Mohamed Abdallah.
