According to Google Maps drag-and-measure thingy it's 6649 Egyptian old royal cubits. Or 31.74 American football fields if you prefer.

Are you sure you're measuring between the hotel and the control tower?

Thanks for trying guys. Tony and I argued about this. He said it was less than one mile and I said it was nearer to two miles. So we set the line at 1.5 miles. Later in the day, he insisted that we had set the line at 2 miles.  Just to let you know how bad a loser he is, we argued about what variety a particular tree was. I secretly photographed it on my phone and showed him the photo later, telling him it was a google image of the variety I said our tree was. He said: Pfft! That's absolutely nothing like the one we saw... |
