I got curious and looked at a non-Mercator map and it seems Cairo is 7-8hrs away. Damn, Africa is huge. Interestingly India got separated from African continent. West cost of India snugly fits on the right edge of The Horn of Africa. India collided with the larger Asian land mass resulting in the formation of the Himalayan mountain range. It’s fun to think about that the western coastal mountains of India are much older than the northern mountains! Geography is lot of fun!!
