Going to EGYPT in two months. Suggestions?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 19th, 2018 7:32 PM Author: fragrant trust fund lodge Figuring I'll spend three days in Cairo and three in Luxor. Sadly I only have about 10 days total off and I lose three traveling, so I don't think I have time to hit Aswan.
I know that Egyptians are basically the world's worst people and I need to be prepared for scams, but anything else I should know or something less famous I should check out? |
Date: June 19th, 2018 7:34 PM Author: hyperventilating boistinker In Cairo/Giza, besides Great Pyramid/Sphinx/Egyptian Museum...Memphis, Meidum pyramid complex, Dahshur, Saqqara. Didn't go to Luxor, thought it was supposed to be high alert for musterror. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4005830&forum_id=2#36274316) |

Date: June 19th, 2018 7:48 PM Author: Galvanic Property Telephone aswan is unnecessary but abu simbel is 180. you can sneak down to aswan for 1 night just to a trip to abu simbel.
luxor requires 2 full days (3 nights).
cairo: rsf is cr that you need to see the other famous pyramid complexes besides gisa (the red pyramid, the bent pyramid, the step pyramid). you're a jesusmo so make time for the coptic shit that the musbros havent destroyed. you could easily do 2-3 full days in cairo plus a day trip to all the pyramids.
the people and the food are both awful. |

Date: June 19th, 2018 7:58 PM Author: fragrant trust fund lodge Abu Simbel looks 180 but I just don't think I have the time for it. There's no direct flights from Luxor anymore either, it seems; you have to go through Aswan. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4005830&forum_id=2#36274434) |

Also I'm a bit of a cheapskate so I took a longer flight that is only $900 over the alternatives which fluctuated between $1100-1500. |

Date: June 19th, 2018 8:25 PM Author: fragrant trust fund lodge Before it was Muslim Egypt was pretty cool and built a lot of neat stuff I'd like to see.
Also I figure it's the country I'd like to visit that is mostly likely to become entirely off-limits due to Islamic kookery. |

Date: June 19th, 2018 8:31 PM Author: hyperventilating boistinker it has gotten noticeably worse between my first visit in 2012 and my visit last summer.
