Hi! I am a 27 yr old Canadian Chinese gal planning to take one of those overland trips from Cairo to Istanbul during the middle of June 2004. I will be visiting Greece first but after realizing the prices there think I will proceed to Egypt quicker than I thought! I have some time before the tour and since I will be by myself - I am looking to find someone who is interested in making a new friend and showing me the best of Cairo! (preferably female) Please email me if you are interested!
Also - does anyone have any advice about this overland route and if it is dangerous? All my friends are warning me not to go ...
