Recommendations on Egypt?
Hi
I am hoping to go for a cultural tour to Egypt and visit the main Ancient sights. I'm wondering if someone could recommend a Tour company that they have been with that would do a 1 week tour to Cairo/Giza/Luxor please? There seems many that do this but they all look similar to me so I'd rather go with a recommendation. Also, does a US citizen need a visa for Egypt? Thanks in advance Mike |

There seems many that do this but they all look similar to me so I'd rather go with a recommendation. Also, does a US citizen need a visa for Egypt? I spent the month of May there last year but I went on my own so I don't know anything about tour companies. You need a visa though. You can get one when you get there but it is a lot faster getting out of Cairo airport if you got your visa in advance. There are lots of companies who will help you get them but they'll charge about $80 US. If you live in the US see http://www.egyptembassy.us/ to get your own. Click on Consular Services on the left. I hope you don't intend on going in the summer. May was already getting pretty hot but there are fewer tourists then. Good Luck. My Egypt pictures are at http://home.hawaii.rr.com/pat/MapLinks.htm |

Regular terror attacks in Egypt, four in the last year, should be a death
blow to tourism there. Too bad, there is so much to see. Their economy will go to hell in a handbasket too. And they do so much to avoid these attacks. Tourists cannot even go from one town to another unless they're on a commercial bus, train or plane, or they've hooked up with a military protected convoy. You are searched going into large hotels and other public places. Military and tourist police are everywhere. Word is, after an attack the government rounds up everyone remotely associated with any suspect, even whole neighborhoods, and they're locked up for years. Too bad for Egypt even these measures weren't ultimately successful. |
