[QUOTE]Originally posted by Albino_Eskimo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SayWhatYouSee: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Albino_Eskimo: Its hard pressed to find a European travel agency that will sell a package to an American. I saw only one packaged tour group and they were a bunch of Mormons. I rest my case. [/qb][/QUOTE]You would be better advised to look at Egyptian companies marketing to the American market. There is no shortage of cheap packages. Friends of mine work in the tourist industry, I have seen exactly what is offered. Here is an example of a simple internet search: MISR Travel. ''“7 day/6 night Budget Cruncher from [b]US$ 1399.00[/b] . Short of time?Low on funds? Take a deep breath and tackle Cairo AND A NILE CRUISE in the space of 7 action packed days. Enjoy 2 nights at the Movenpick Pyramids Hotel, 3 nights on the Movenpick managed HS Radamis I or II Nile Cruise or the Oberoi HS Sheherezade or Shahrayar and 1 night at the Movenpick Hotel, Heliopolis, local flights, transfers, a full day guided tour of Cairo AND, of course, your flights from and back to JFK on Egytpair’s non stop service. Departures Wednesdays and Thursdays only. Departures Sept 27 - Dec 7, 2006: US$ 1399.00 per person (double occupancy) Single Supplement US$ 300.00 For travel July 15 -31, please add US$ 450.00 per person, for travel Aug 1-15, add US$ 300.00 per person and for travel Aug 16 - Sept 26, add US$ 50.00 per person'' No need to rest my case, as this is a chat forum, not a court of law! [/QB][/QUOTE]Unless I see more American ESers or local neighbors boasting their "packaged tour" in Egypt I don't buy it. I don't see American travel agency ads for these package tours. I do see European travel agency ads on European websites. You'd have to be here in the USA to know. Besides most travelers from the USA are actually Egyptians going home for FOTs (Family Obligated Trips) and not for leisure. Which might explain why American wives have more trouble with getting sick in Egypt and have more difficulty finding common western items. But a better insight into modern Egyptian culture and family mores. [/QB][/QUOTE]
