Answer 2

tour egypt is the government web its an excelent site for an insight into egypt history and photos etc www.touregypt.net
but i do not know where he got the other prices from a taxi for the day is 450le never mind a merc,the pyramids are 120le plus the entrance to see the Pharanic boat and going into tomb, the musium is another 120le plus the mummy room another 40le. the kanakallili souk is of course free but do it in the evening for a better experiance, also a visit to the Mosques is a must, then you have to go to see the belly dancing plus a meal at the Fish Market Restaurant on the Nile to round the day off, , do not resurve your hotel as its cheaper to walk in and there are loads of good 4/5 star hotels in Cairo and you may not want to stay for 10 days as Cairo is ok for maybe 2 days,

Answer 3

Well I went to Egypt in 2005 and I was there for 6 months and I spent a total of $1,000 plus another $900 for my airline ticket. I stayed in the residential area(I am married to an Egyptian), we rented a flat(paid rent, water, trash, electric, food) and I also came back to the USA with 2 big bags full of gifts from Egypt. I went shopping a lot, traveled to Alexandria, and I gave out a lot of Egyptian pounds to some little children at the zoo. I hope you go and have a great time, you will love it!!!!

Answer 4

if u bypass to egypt now bypass to Luxor direct do no longer bypass to Cairo maximum of foreigners bypass to Cairo to work out the pyramids it relatively is placed in Giza and to work out Cairo museum it relatively is placed in el-tahrir sq. and the revolution of Egypt placed in tahrir sq. too so could be u bypass to Cairo and locate the museum is closed and to work out the hollow museum u desire 2 days a minimum of and via the way the egyptians set up to persevering with the revolution in 25/January 2012 so if u bypass as we talk i think of the museum would be closed so if u bypass to Cairo u can see in basic terms the pyramids so bypass to Luxor and u can bypass to Alexandria to work out the Qayitpay fort and the Greek and Romanian museum
