Hey everyone, just wanted to say that I'm going to Egypt on tuesday and I'll be gone for two weeks.
I have a trusted moderator to handle some Files Archive things while I'm gone, so be nice
Anyways, I'll be visiting the pyramids, the sphinx, Alexandria, Dahab, and many other things... also some pure garbage-cities (and I mean it!) named something-I-can't-remember...
Someone I know went to Egypt once, and she had a great time there.
Hope you also have
I've never been on such far away traveling - I've only been to France once.
And some tips:
Take some ball point pens with you (or choclade) - it was coin for the kids (dont know if today it is always)
And at the market or cloth color lanes ("Färbergasse") in Luxor you should observe your money always - use a front pocket - better you go in groups.
And some medicine for "looseness" is usefull.
Egypt was great, I got to see many things, and also things that ordinary tourist don't see, like the "garbage areas" in Cairo and some schools for handicapped children and stuff.
Your tips wasn't useful for me, but probably very useful for others.
