Would you give me advice for traveling to Egypt ?

I plan to travel to Egypt on March. Do you know reasonable and comfortable hostel or hotel in Cairo , Aswan , Abu-Simbel and Lu-xor ? And , if you have any instructive information about traveling Egypt, please give me !Would you give me advice for traveling to Egypt ?
My best advise is for you to get hold of a copy of The Lonely Planet guide to Egypt .


It will be a handy reference and resource book for planning your trip and during it.


I would advise you to book as much as possible of your trip through your local travel agent unless the company or hotel is recommended by either Lonely Planet or Tour Egypt.


There is also and excellent website that covers absolutely everything you could wish to know about Egypt.

in cairo, stay at the mena house - it's very near giza and you can have a view of the pyramids from their restaurant! it's also walking distance to giza. be sure to enter the great pyramid and check out the boat museum. of course, spend a day or 2 at the cairo museum and visit khan-el-khalili (oldest market) and get great prices on their spices. when we went to aswan, we stayed at the old cataract hotel and took a 3hour bus convoy to abu simbel. well worth the trip. abu simble is magnificent. in luxor, we stayed at the sonesta. all are very nice hotels! i can give you the name and contact details of our tour guide, marwan, who's an archaelogy or egyptology (i forget which) major. he was very very good and gave us details on egyptian history that i'm sure other guides would have skipped. he also took very good care of us. we brought our own water but when we ran out, we bought bottled water and we were ok. although egypt has become tolerant of the way some europeans/americans dress, i suggest you avoid wearing short shorts, tanks or revealing clothes. enjoy!
my advice is canceling your plan

the weather here will be around 60 F day time and 45 night time (in cairo), may have some light rain in Feb but of course it's heavy winter in Alexandria and the red sea (hurgada, sharm el sheikh) and so warm in luxor and aswan


in cairo i think Nile Hilton is nice cheap hotel and in midtown so near to everywhere in cairo


you'd love cairo specailly at night and in that time of the year


wish you nice trip and would love to help in case you have any question about egypt just contact me


welcome to egypt
