HI
My boyfriend and I are hoping to travel to Eygpt for the first time next year, I am starting to plan our journey; where to stay? What time to go? What places to Visit? etc etc...What I need is some advice as to whether we can do this trip without doing it through a travel agency which will give us a package approach. If anyone has done this I would love for some recommended contacts in Eygpt to book our own accomodation and excursions through. Is it far more cost effective to travel this way, or do the travel agencies get a better discount than joe bloggs?
If anyone has any thoughts, advice & ideas I would be really grateful.
Thanks for you time
Z

first off all it depends on the time how long you want to travel in egypt.
do you have less then 2 two weeks then arrange it by a travelagency because you don't want to baragain every day in egypt

but if you travel longer you can make some reservations in hotels or camps and also for some safaris,trips

the best time to go is for sure in spring or in the winter because it the best climate then for travel and enjoyment.

where to go?for sure cairio;giza pyramids
old cairo,egypt museum

accomodation in cairo
the dahabhostel is nice and cheap with an nice roof terras and has some quiet rooms.
the ismaeliya househostel is probably the cheapest in town
both are at tachrier square nearby the egypt museum.both organise niletrips etc. for reasonable prices.
I have no emailadres of them at the moment.

siwa;most still authentic and interesting oasis
reachable from cair via alexandria,masra matrug.
which are less interesting cities then cairo but more comfortable(cairi is very hectic)

luxor,aswan;for it's cultural sites
acc.camping sites are cheap,hotels very expensive.

the white desert for it's beauty
you can go from bahariya oasis
cheap nice hotel in bahariya is deeb safari hotel
email for reservations.
bahrea_awses@yahoo.com

other oasisvillages are not really interesting after visiting these 2 (bahariya,siwa)

the sinai also for it's beauty,snorkeling,swimming relaxing
dahab is best place to stay and arrange your trips from
alaska camp in dahab is a nice camp,friendly,cheap and with good info about trips in the area.
for reservations email dahabescape@hotmail.com

the are places where I have stayed in egypt
I haven't been in all egypt yet.
I hope I have helped you a bit with this info
