Steve, after several days of hard decision making we (my future husband) chose Egypt for our honeymoon destination. We really hope that you can help us. What is a visa?do we need one? is it safe for tourists given the proximity to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?? Vaccinations?? How many? I hope you can help us. Your help will be greatly apprecited.

if you are not an egyptian citizen or of egyptian descent (paternally i believe), u need a visa to enter egypt. i think its like 15 US$ <BR> <BR>it is safe for tourists given the proximity to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.. egypt is a serious tourist-haven and the dependence of the country on tourism ensures the safety of tourists.. <BR>Vaccinations?? How many? <BR>dunno.. good luck finding out

Steve -- I'm planning my first trip to Cairo, solo, this fall. What is the best way for a "solo" traveler to get to Luxor and the other Nile River sites below Cairo? Are there tours one can purchase, after arrival in Cairo? How long should one allow to get to Luxor and back to Cairo? I prefer to see things on "my own," and not with a tour guide and tour group. Thanks for your response and help!

Steve, I need your help. I plan to go to Egypt by the end of Octuber. This will be my second trip. Last year I went to Memphis, Saqqara, Cairo and Alexandria among others places. This year I would like to stay longer in Cairo. Even though Luxor is the most convenient place, my tour begins and ends in Cairo. So I would like to stay longer at Cairo in order to visit the Egyptian Museum on my own the whole day and the Islamic Art Museum and some others places (1 day). I think that it could be possible some excursions from Cairo, What do you recommend me? <BR> <BR>Regards, <BR>Betty <BR>[email protected]

Steve, <BR> <BR>Is the train reliable from Alexandria to Cairo? We are on a cruise and want to get to Cairo as quickly as possible to get to Giza. <BR> <BR>Are there guides and drives in Cairo that you recommend? Also, what is the difference in the Spanish train and the Turbine train from Alexandria to Cairo and return? <BR> <BR>Many thanks, <BR>John <BR>

Hi Andy, I was wondering if you returned from your Egypt trip yet. We're scheduled to depart next Friday (9/21) and now with all the current disaster, my husband is very adamant about not going. What's your opinion? <BR> <BR>Steve, can you please give me your input about the current atmosphere in Egypt and if we should go as planned or delay our trip?

Steve,<BR>I am a female traveller who is contemplating on a trip to Egypt by myself. I will be visiting some places on my own and will most likely join a tour. So far, I am interested in starting my trip on my own in Cairo. From there, I was thinking of heading to Luxor and joining a cruise down the Nile to Aswan. From Aswan, I would catch a flight back to Cairo. I can't decide if I should visit the Siwa Oasis or Mt. Sinai and the Red Sea Coast. I was hoping to spend up to 21 days in Egypt. What would you recommend I should not miss? Any help is greatly appreciated.

We were in Egypt last fall, and brought a box of ball point pens in every color, as we had heard these were in demand and hard to get there. They did seem to be much appreciated small gifts. People liked postcards of hometown scenes too. Other info and many photos you might find useful are on my travelogue, if you haven't seen it: www.costumegoddess.com/travelog.htm
