This is all rather overwhelming because there is such a variety of things to see and do in Egypt. Very well-written and informative tips! Great that you rented a bicycle at Palm Tree in Siwa.

Egypt certainly has lots of attractions to explore! Desertsafari, Lake Nasser, Mount Sinai, temples, monasteries and pyramids all look very attractive. We certainly like Luxor and Alexandria. ~ho & pang

The price now is 70 pounds[egyptian pounds]a night for two with breakfast.The rooms are not very clean and the bathroom is basic .Also there's a caberet in the basement that keeps you awake until 5 in the morning even on the fourth floor.
