going to egypt
 

Hey,
I am planning to go to egypt. Any useful information? I will probably spend most of my time in Cairo, but am interested in going into the desert especially oasis. let me know

Lots of useful info here - I suggest you type Egypt into search box - it seems to be working these days.

For the oases, I'd type in their names, oasis, oases or desert. I've written a bunch on it on Fodors.

"Any useful information? I will probably spend most of my time in Cairo"

Don't spend most of your time in Cairo

Luxor! Don't spend all of your time in Cairo. You can see most of the sights in 3 days and by that time you will be wanting a change of pace! Luxor is by far my favorite place in Egypt. You will need at least 3 days there to do it justice. Life is slower and after Cairo traffic, you will love it. Please, don't miss Luxor. You can fly or take a train (I flew). Have you considered a cruise? You then can see Edfu and other temples on the Nile. There is a lot of information to be had on Foders. Just ask! I went in October of 2005. LOVED IT!!!!!!!
