Luggage when going Aswan to Abu Simbel
I have a day without accommodation in Aswan next week, catching the 6pm train to Cairo. I will come to Aswan the day before that, by a cruising ship, boarding off in the morning. I plan to go to Abu Simbel by microbus. I understand that the convoy leaves Aswan around 4am. Does anybody know where could I safely store my luggage for that day? -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

I am supposed to get off the ship that morning (i.e. I'm checking out). So, is there a place where I could safely store my luggage for that day? Hello. Maybe it's an idea to go to a hotel-lobby and ask them if they would like to store your luggage for that day for a few pounds. An example would be the Cleopatra-hotel, a short distance from the Nile. Just ask them how much it will cost from the start, so, showing them that you are not looking for a free gift, maybe in that way they are more willing to help. On the other hand, if doing so, be carefull not to pay "just" a bellboy that will not be there when you return in the afternoon, so, make it a little official. Regards, John. |

ask your guide on the boat where it is possible he may know of a place. If
you don't have alot of luggage ie: a bag and a backpack, take it with you on the bus that way you know it will be safe, you can leave it safely jon the bus while you tour abu simble. I went by plane and left my stuff in the hotel who put the bags in a safe locked room, if you go to a hotel you can do what John said. what ever you do decide to do though, make sure you keep your valuables ON YOU....not in the bag.. |
