Hi,

I wish to visit egypt with my wife during the last week of march 2010 and I plan to be an independent traveller. Can anyone tell me if it is necessary to make prior bookings at the hotels/cruises etc or I can just land there and find my way ahead ? I am on a tight budget. Do I get better deals with hotels, cruise etc if I approach them directly rather than booking them thru a travel agent ? For example a 3 nights cruise on a 4 star vessel from aswan to luxor costs USD 270 if I book thru the internet. Is it lieky that I would get a better price while i am there ?

thanks
BJ
