    Getting TO/AROUND: The fastest and most comfortable way to get to Egypt is by plane. I had no problems when I arrived to Cairo because everything was very well organized but I was very unpleasantly surprised on my way home at the Hurghada airport by the poor organization. I dont know whether this is a characteristic for this particular airport but one must be prepared for slow checking in, baggage carriers who will aggressively try to take you your last euro or two, clerks who dont know to use computers etc.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The best way to get around an Egyptian town or city is by taxi but there are several problems. First, you must bargain for everything in Egypt taxi service included, so you have to be prepared and patient in negotiating a price. Second, there are no traffic rules the Egyptians obey while driving, they drive everything that can run on 4 wheels, cars with no lights, no breaks ... Their cars are nothing like the one in the photo. However, one thing must be ok and that is the sirene. They use sirens every now and then in order to communicate with others.
