Cairo's Cabbie

by akosilei

Coming from a city where luxury is abundant arriving in Cairo was really an eye opener... On our first day in downtown, we walked around the city until the sun set to better observed the things around us and it was really scary to see how the Egyptians drive and park their cars in the busy street of Cairo. Our cab was i think the most maintained taxi ever compare to others we saw. It was without airconditioning but it was clean and our driver could speak English and knows the ins and out of the city for an extra cost, of course ☺☺☺

Alexanderia-Cairo

by Doctor38

If you have to travel by car from Alexandria to Cairo ALWAYS use the Desert road known as (attaree essahrawi) you'll pay a toll of 5 LE . It is 200 km and you probably make it in 2 hrs to your destination. It is 3 or even 4 lane highway very empty. NEVER use the Agriculture road (attaree aseraee) other wise you'll find your self stuck behind a donkey or some heavy vehicle or worst having an accident with a bicycleUpdate April 2010: I traveled by bus and the Desert road is not as good as it used to be due to reconstruction. It is being upgraded for the entire 200 km. it is currently a 2 lane highway in each direction. It is still efficient but not as smooth as it used to be. I think the toll has increased to 5 LE. Looks like it will be much better with lots of bridges are under construction.

Assuit Airport

by Doctor38

I was tempted to put this tip in the warning section but than I thought It was a hilarious experience that made my trip memorable. I had a miserable experience (I thought at the time) due to different factors that gathered at the same time. We arrived late at night around 2 am. Things appeared very upbeat and promising when the Passport Officer said " let do the Non Egyptian passports first" I thought to my self wow Egyptian hospitality when you need it. Thanks you. After whizzing through passport being the first one to be stamped, I felt grrrreat.Things started to collapse very quickly. I was prepared for a cold winter weather with layers of clothes only to be confronted by a warm weather. The airport had no bag conveyor built. We had to wait in a small hall and people started smoking after being smoke deprived in the plain. Soon I felt very uncomfortable due to the choking atmosphere...

Trip to Mt.Sinai

by sumanth7975

Hundreds of tourists climb Mt.Sinai everyday. Most of them start around 2am and wait at the top for the Sunshine. I personally think that going and being with such big group doesn’t give you the real feeling of the mountain. Nature lovers won’t appreciate it, either. When I climbed, I started my ascent at 4am and the path was free of all tourists. It was quite and serene. We went up with a travel guide ofcourse(50egp) and didn’t need a camel. We saw the sunrise though not from the peak but somewhere near the peak and it wasn’t bad. 7am and I could see hundreds of people descending the mountain and my god I would never want to be part of that group. I was alone on the mountain peak and could see cigarette butts, blankets and other stuff and was so glad I avoided that crowd.Views from the top where spectacular. But, I do not think this is the real Mt.Sinai as described in the Bible.

Egyptian Trains

by beethin

The cheapest way to travel to Luxor from Cairo is by sleeping trains. Sleeping trains start from Giza. You need to fax your request to prior to your journey and they will confirm your reservation by email. You need to make the payment and collect the tickets from the Sleeping train office located inside Ramses station.The price is 120 US$ including dinner & breakfast for 2 persons one way from Cairo to Luxor in 1st Class double cabin. All the sleeping trains departs from Giza station. Reservation offices open every day all the week (except Friday) from 9:00 AM till 02:00 PM. Overall the train journey is quiet comfortable and hassle free. The coach attendant are very friendly and helpful.

Land Transport to Hurghada

by solopes

As my wife fears planes, I decided to connect Luxor and Hurghada by land. It was a wise decision, since it was quick, pleasant and safe. My wife and kids had the chance to feel what I lived in the war of Angola - Being part of a military column. The tanks and weapons around us gave us a feeling of security, a purpose that the Egyptians, till there discreetly, cared everywhere and every time.The brief crossing of the desert in the air conditioned vehicle was a good aperitif for the Sinai.And we saved money.
