Myself and my partner have been on boat trips down the Nile and stayed in luxor and Cairo, couple of hints I might suggest
1) When you are shopping in the local bazzars people will try to say that they work on your boat and try to make you feel very guilty for not paying them so please buy from there stall when they not working, they have a photo there of A boat and they also pretent to know you, nice little trick but if you really wanna know if they telling parkies Ask them the name of the boat they work on, and I bet you get the answers most of them...dont fall for it,it is a scam.
2) Local men will approach other men and ask you if you want a Good time, now if you are gay or like a bit of both, BE SAFE, they are usually going to rob you, get you to goto a local hotel and you pay for the room, or even worse undercover police, may I remind you this is a muslim country and if you are cought have gay sex or even a hint of it you WILL end in Jail, and they aint nice!!
3) Herbs and spices. Simple rule is DONT buy them , you see huge bag of saffron for very cheap price, unfortunaly it is usually colour Donky crap or simalar if you dont know what saffron looks like it should be long strands of deep orangey red, they should be about a cm long and no shorted, if shorter and poweder ask for a sample and pop in some water should dye the water orange around where you dropped it str8 away or very quickly.
