Dear Help,

I am going to stay in Cairo for 11 nights at the Pyramid Parks I-C Resort. What can I prepare in advance before I get there and through whom? e.g. excursions and contacts that will be useful to me. Please can you advise me as it is my first trip. Thanks

The hotel you have chosen is very nice, but it is also about as far away from everything as you can get. You won't be walking ANYWHERE from there and unfortunately, there are no "street taxis" (meaning cheaper taxis) that run past the hotel out there regularly, so your only means of transportation is with a tour or hotel taxi.

I am waiting for a reply to my email to you to see if Casual Cairo detours can help you with your needs. Thanks.

Dear Debbie,

Thank you for replying to my post, I would appreciate any help you can give towards my trip with my girlfriend to Egypt. We have just finished university in London so budgeting is very important, therefore I would like to ask what are the must see attractions as I know 11 nights is very long in Cairo.I also heard Luxor's valley of the kings is unmissable so what are the options. I have looked at various other websites before my preparation but was kindly pointed to this friendly website.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Debbie,

Thanx, I hope I can now really enjoy Egypt without all the stress of worrying about my budget and planning what to do.
