Egypt
View Profile
| I am quite familiar with Cairo, Alexandria and most of the popular tourist areas. I can answer questions on transportation, places to stay (meaning hotels, or cities), sites to see, how to handle the natives, where to eat, you name it. I am the type of person that likes to do things and I`ve experienced quite a bit in Egypt from riding the metro (I can give a detailed description of how to do that from buying a ticket to finding the womens only car) to how to find your way around town without a guide. I have lots of friends now around Egypt that are happy to meet foreigners and help out, if the people with questions will be tourists and want additional assistance when they arrive. | On Vacation

| I have extensive knowledge of tourism in Egypt, specifically Luxor, and Egyptology in general. I can answer questions on travel, hotels, restaurants as well as about the sites and dealing with the locals. I can tell recommend deserted sites where you are the only tourist, local guides who will take you walking over the hills, reliable drivers, taxis, donkey and camel men, sailing and motor boat captains.
I can answer questions on Egyptology(up to the end of the New Kingdom) as I have been involved with Egyptology for over 40 years and have contacts in the Antiquities department and with many of the Archaeological teams in Luxor. | On Vacation
