Have a wonderful trip, your tour sounds as though you will see most everything.

Drink lots of water cover up with loose clothing (floppy tops and trousers) both to protect you from the sun and the lavious glances

What is the temperature like in Egypt in October?

Are you British, Akshar, or Egyptian? Or something else entirely? What is the general feeling like toward Aussies in Egypt?

Erika.

I am British by origin but Egyptian people have a warm and friendly attitude to all nationalities (ehich increases the more money you spend ). They are very politically aware but intelligent enough to know that the aversage visitor to their country does not personally reflect the policies of their government so they welccome Americans as much as any one else.

People who express any empathy or knowledge about their problems are much liked and respected.

Akshar,
I'm glad to hear that Aussies are well-received. It's hard to know sometimes whether different nationalities will be warm depending on where you come from. I know that when my younger sister travelled to China, she used to wear a badge which said I Am Not American, and found that her reception was greatly improved that way! Sad but true.

Raymon,
Thank you also for your input. I will definitely visit your site, and have bookmarked it to make sure I don't miss it.

I remember seeing this web site in the newspaper some time ago www.iamnotamerican.com so I took a peek after seeing your post. It's still up there and has a bunch of designs and languages, including Arabic. In case you couldn't figure it from the domain name, they say "I Am Not American". Certainly could come in handy in Egypt. :-)

Other than that, the other tips you received were right on the money. Most important I think, is listening to the news to hear of any possible disturbances. Certainly steer clear of any sort of demonstrations if they occur.
