[QUOTE]Originally posted by Luxorlover: [QB] All the people that you are likely to come in contact with will speak good enough English to deal with anything that you need or want. You can actually go around all the temples and tombs without a guide. In fact, if you have a decent guide book, you are usually better off on your own as then you are not rushed about. I have seen tours come into a temple and go before I have got past the first pylon. If your other half is as interested in the culture as he sounds, then I think that you might ind yourself rrevisitng places. I have been to karnak more times than I can count and I never tire of it. Each time I dinf something different. As a tourist, it is interesting to get a calleche up to Karnak. The driver will wait for you and take you back again and it will cost very little. It is the same with the Valley of the Kings, etc. If you cross the river on the local ferry (2 LE return for visitors) then you can easily arrange a taxi on the other side to take you around and wait for you. Alternatively if you are energetic, then hire a bicycle (5 - 10 LE per day). It's quite a long way to the Valley of the Kings (and all up hill on the first leg through the canyon) but it in intersting (and all down hill on the way back). Photocopy various pages of your guidebook before you come out and stuff them in your suitcase then you do not have to cart the whole guidebook around with you all the time. You will have enough trouble carting around bottles of water. You must take a felucca trip on the river at sunset to watch the sun disappear behind the mountain. (Bring good mosquito repellent with you as they can be vicious at dusk on the water). It is still very hot in September so bring loose clothing that will cover your shoulders, etc., not just for modesty but to stop you getting badly burned. [/QB][/QUOTE]
