Going to EGYPT in two months. Suggestions?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 19th, 2018 7:32 PM Author: Racy Useless Brakes 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: Pearl Abode 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: Claret psychic 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: Racy Useless Brakes 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) |

Date: June 19th, 2018 8:26 PM Author: Racy Useless Brakes Sadly, no, gotta leave on Saturday.
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 8:31 PM Author: Racy Useless Brakes My cheapest option has a 17-hour layover in Munich, so I'll be spending a day there. Return has a similarly long layover in Frankfurt. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4005830&forum_id=2#36274704) |

Date: June 19th, 2018 8:25 PM Author: Racy Useless Brakes 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: Pearl Abode it has gotten noticeably worse between my first visit in 2012 and my visit last summer. Going now is the right call, that country is going completely down the shitter in the future. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4005830&forum_id=2#36274705) |
