- Touched down in Egypt and the Middle East….Cairo was our first stop in the Middle East and was definitely a sensory overload. For starters, the traffic is insane and the drivers even more so. Crossing the street here is a sport as you have to Posted by geldere in The Hostel Honeymoon | Oct 14, 2011
- Egypt - Sharm & CairoNo other place can compare to Egypt. From the minute I got to Cairo this place sucked me in. I became fascinated by the history and the culture and the way these incredible people use to live. The trip started off Posted by viajero_chica in My journey around the world........ | Sep 12, 2011
- Last leg of the trip - all the way to CairoFrom Luxor, the plan was to head out into the Eastern Desert and follow the Red Sea coast, bush camp before we got to Cairo, and roll into the city the following morning. However, all was n Posted by AlTiffany2 in Alex's Round the World Gap Year | Sep 3, 2011
- Feluccas and LuxorOn our last morning in Aswan, we all got on two feluccas which would take us down the Nile, for three days, towards Luxor. These wooden sailing boats have been traditional modes of transport Posted by AlTiffany2 in Alex's Round the World Gap Year | Aug 24, 2011
- Back in EgyptAfter our adventures in Israel and Jordan, all we really wanted to do was relax by the pool. Unfortunately we only had one day left in Dahab, and that had already been booked solid. First up for the day was snorkelling Posted by EmShell in M&M hit the Big E's | Aug 25, 2011
- Pyramids, Temples and BoatsThe first week in Egypt was insane. We were fully booked doing pyramids, temples and all sorts off "cultural stuff". The day after Alexandria, was the day most of us had been waiting for - the day we got to Posted by EmShell in M&M hit the Big E's | Aug 21, 2011
- Abu Simbel and AswanAfter the heat of Sudan and the Nubian desert, a hotel with aircon was just what everybody needed. Aswan is a lovely city with a friendly, laidback feel. Our hotel has a rooftop terrace with a swimming pool overlooking the Posted by AlTiffany2 in Alex's Round the World Gap Year | Aug 20, 2011
- AlexandriaToday we left the hotel veeeeeery early to head off to Alexandria. First stop was the catacombs, which were amazing. It basically looks like you're entering a vacant lot in the middle of the suburbs - there are housing development Posted by EmShell in M&M hit the Big E's | Aug 7, 2011
- Boredom to Protests in one day..I should begin with a bit of background. When we met our tour guide we were given a basic "survival guide" to Cairo which included: * Don't talk to the locals * Don't follow the locals to their shops * You WILL be Posted by EmShell in M&M hit the Big E's | Aug 6, 2011
- Still Walking like an Egyptian....So, the Hotel....hmmm, what can be said about it? Lovely staff. Very helpful & friendly despite the language barriers. Airconditioning - although not often used as everyone here seems to be oblivious to the blistering heat. A swimming pool - that we Posted by Mitler in M&M hit the Big E's | Aug 5, 2011
- Walk like an EgyptianWhat is it that they say? When in Rome..... Well, when in Cairo, walk like an Egyptian! Just be sure to mind the cars that come out of nowhere, driven by people who don't seem to abide by any road rules! Posted by Mitler in M&M hit the Big E's | Aug 4, 2011
- Planes, airports and more planesSo yesterday we finally left for our big trip. After an emotional farewell at the airport to our families (hey, the tears were there on the inside), we set off on our big adventure. Of plane travel, and waiting at airports.

- Cairo TimeEgypt – Cairo – July 24th We arrived early into Cairo and were at our hotel before 9:00. After waiting for the room to be ready, settling in and cooling off, Hamed came to meet us with a d Posted by Leo and Mo in Where in the world are Leo & Mo? | Jul 26, 2011
- Luxor: life and death on the NileOur plane left Cairo late, so we didn’t arrive in Luxor until after 9pm. The hotel staff was amazing, and they kept the Italian restaurant open so we could have a late dinner. Our hotel room was much Posted by Leo and Mo in Where in the world are Leo & Mo? | Jul 25, 2011
- Leaving LondonJuly 22nd, 2011 We were up at 5am this morning to get to Heathrow 3 hours early. We actually prefer having an early start when it’s still relatively quiet in the airports. Resting and recuperating last night was a Posted by Leo and Mo in Where in the world are Leo & Mo? | Jul 21, 2011
- Walk Like An Egyptian*We exited Southeast Asia at the halfway point of our World Tour – not because we were tired of SEA (far from it!) but because it was time to move on to new adventures. We selected a destination that Posted by Baxters in Baxters' World Tour | Jul 17, 2011
- Cairo to Istanbul in 21 Days - EGYPT!! (May 2011)We weren't in Cairo for more than 15 minutes and I almost had my first mini heart attack. Wowza! The drive from the airport into downtown was organized chaos at its best. I'm still AMAZED that Posted by dee-n-ash in World Through the Bottom of a Pint Glass | Jul 16, 2011
- Our last day in EgyptLast night we did the sound and light show and it was very dramatic but best of all - no crowds. Omar Sharif and Anthony Hopkins did the voice overs. Today is our last day and Hatem is guiding us through Posted by Bowlers4 in The big retirement trip | Jun 29, 2011
- Giza and the Giant Geometrical ShapesHatem wants to beat the heat and crowds again so we're off and running at 7.00 am. On the bus with us we have our own personal security guard who looks like the men in black without the sunglasses. The Posted by Bowlers4 in The big retirement trip | Jun 28, 2011
- 21 June - Abu SimbelToday is our last day on the boat and I will miss it. It's been so relaxing and the scenery as been beautiful with children waving at us from the shore as they swam with friends. We saw water buffalo Posted by Bowlers4 in The big retirement trip | Jun 27, 2011
- Back to Cairo===Saturday 16-1-65=== We rose at 4.30 am this morning and got the train to Cairo, arriving about 5.00 pm. It was a rather uninteresting day, another long train trip, back along the way we had come. Only notable thing was that Posted by Ozac in Shoestring Road | Jun 24, 2011
- Lazing and Gazing in Luxor===Tuesday 12-1-65=== Changed some money unofficially and then got the Luxor train at midday. The journey took thirteen hours and I did not sleep. Towards the end it became bitterly cold, but during daylight hours it was very pleasant. I was Posted by Ozac in Shoestring Road | Jun 23, 2011
- Anything to Declare?===Saturday 9-1-65 PM=== At 8.05 pm exactly, the Esperia docked in Alexandria, and I promptly did the most stupid thing I have ever done in my life. Having been told time and again not to declare my Egyptian Posted by Ozac in Shoestring Road | Jun 21, 2011
- 20 June - AswanLast night we had the Galabaya party and we all dressed up in Egyptian costume and the staff sang and got us up dancing - well Adam and I at least. The photos will remain classified in the Bowler archive. Posted by Bowlers4 in The big retirement trip | Jun 20, 2011
- 19 June - EdfuWe got to sleep in today - 7.00 am - bit whoop! It didn't really matter to us as we were awake at 5.00 am and John got a sunrise shot instead of a sunset. My tip for travelling on Posted by Bowlers4 in The big retirement trip | Jun 19, 2011
