Egypt Tour Itinerary

wold you believe, I downloaded basic belly dancing from the net. BUt I haven't started practicing yet. I think it is hard to learn that.

thanks so much for your wonderful pointers. I'm taking note of them.

I think it is like 80% pushing through. flight reservations will be done tomorrow. the fare is 1,800- round trip.

Will google the places you suggested here by tomorrow.

i heard that luxor is a must see.

btw, ladies who are interested to join us, feel free to PM me. The more the merrier.

You will be fine walking the streets anytime of the day/night....there are tourist police everywhere in case you have trouble. Just look for the white uniform! Yeah you will be harassed and it does get annoying. .....Just smile and with patience you will be fine. I found the Egyptians very friendly and funny (even though they try to rip you off any chance given)...just go with flow...one thing to be aware of is when you go to a restaurant. Some of them say there is no menu, thus no prices, and they will hit you with a massive bill for just buying a soft drink. Try to avoid these places and stick with the ones with menus. You will really notice the difference with the Arabs in Egypt compared to the Gulf Arabs....such a difference!! Have a wonderful time!

The pyramids laser and light show plus the Nile River cruise. You can learn to belly dance on the cruise and show it to us when you return. :)

shav, its ok to wear sleeveless! Its safe to walk till early eve, like 8 - 9. I suggest you take a nile cruise, dinner with live entertainment including bellydancing. When I was there, I asked the hotel to get me an English speaking cab driver, could double up as a tour guide - dont forget to negotiate with the asking price though!

such big glasses lol where did you get them from. cowgirls and camelgirls lol i prefer camelgirls. no they dont look like this.

when are we going to visit your farm, darude?

Luvhurts> thanks for the info on clothing. I thought it's ok to wear sleeveless there.

is it safe to walk around up to what time?

im not scared of camels. Only with the cab issues and harrassment.

Bear in mind its an Islamic country so discretion with your clothing is appreciated. Its very much like here, expose some skin and you get unwanted male attention. Its generally safe to walk around downtown Cairo but traffic is sooooooo bad, 24 hrs! Look out for vehicles that come out of nowhere

camel are not scary its just that you might find them huge accordin to ur short size :D

i got too many camels here at farm they are lovely but when they kick then forget where u are.just stay away from those long powerful legs.

there's cAMEL everywhere?

geez, it is scary, im having second thoughts now. demn, my thai friend is petite, to start with, and harrass-prone.

oh at least there, we can wear what ever we want to. Is that so?

Just telling it like it is, DaRuDe. Tough job getting the camel into the Khan el Khalili bazaar.

Careful with cabs, try not to take one right in front of the hotel (more expensive) and always negotiate the price before you get in - don't accept (what ever you want). And make a note of the cab number.

Take anti-diarrheal pills.

you are scaring her now.

no problem as long u are havin a ride on camel no one can reach u at the top. Avoid cars ok. :D

Expect to be harassed.

PS: how many hours to travel to alexandria? Shld we stay overnight there?

and is it safe to travel by ourselves. Thai friend is a she.

Four days really isn't much time to see much of Egypt. In that time you are probably better off staying in Cairo, as there is so much to do there alone!

The Valley of the Kings and Karnak is amazing....if you have more time I would suggest going south to Aswan to see Abel Simbel. Aswan is a lovely town....the Nile being so beautiful with sand dunes in the background.

If you like old photos you must go to the Lehnert and Landrock shop. Look up L and L on the web to see what I'm talking about and if you like it.

Last known address: 44 Sherif St., Downtown. Telephone: 393-5324 / 392-7606. Open 9:30 am to 2 pm and 4 tp 7 pm. Closed Sundays.

U could visit Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. These are where the treasures of Egypt lie. Haven't been to Alex and Luxor though. The pyramids are an hour's drive from downtown Cairo. I suggest u go and watch the light & laser shows on the pyramids, I liked it better than my daytime visit. Must be very hot there now! I went to see the national museum also, the Grand Bazaar (very good shopping spree)and the old coptic churches
