Wow, a third excellent report!
I spent a month in Egypt some years ago (Cairo-Luxor-Aswan +Alex & Siwa) & really liked a lot.
Now it's on the top of my list when I start travelling again.
Thank you-- What an excellent, detailed report (all 3 parts)!
Two questions:
What language did you use to communicate with the guys?
Do you have any experience in Egypt?
