Hi,
My girlfriend and I are going to Egypt on the 2nd of April. We fly to Cairo and stay for a few days, then on to Luxor for a few days and then to El Gouna for the remainder totalling 2 weeks.
I would be very grateful if anyone could give us a few pointers on what tours to go on and what operators to use and what costs to expect in Cairo and Luxor. Obviously we'd like to see the Pyramids at Giza and spend some time in the Bazaars while in Cairo. Once in Luxor however we're not sure. There seems to be so much to do in and around Luxor. It would be great if we could get advice on which monuments and attractions to see to get the most out of the 3-4 days we're going to be there.
One last thing. All of our connections and hotels are taken care of except for getting from Luxor to El Gouna. Our travel operator said that they couldn't arrange that sort of thing. So I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on getting from Luxor to El Gouna (probably by bus) and costs of this.
Thanks in advance

hi
which company did you book with? it's unusual for them not to arrange transfers as you have to travel in convoy. where are u staying in Luxor? if you ask the rep at the hotel i am sure he will be able to get you on the convoy.

I can thoroughly recommend reallifeegypt.com. We used them last year and had a brilliant day in Luxor! Our guide, Mahmoud, was extremely knowledgable and very helpful. He even took the trouble to get us to a pharmacy so I could get some cream for infected mossie bites!
We are going to El Gouna in June, I'm only sorry that we don't have any trips planned this time!!!!
