(Although the guide was good.)<br /><br />Some random thoughts:<br />-Cairo museum - musty, noisy and in dire need of renovation, but fab artifacts<br />- Don't miss the Coptic section of Cairo<br />- I found the pyramids disappointing....<br />- Try to make it to Abu Simbel<br />- The Temple to Isis was my favorite, but I got sick in Luxor and missed the Valley of the Kings<br />- If I were going back I'd aim to spend some time in the desert and maybe the Sinai peninsula<br />- I'm hoping to visit Aqaba on my upcoming trip - I'll let you know whether I figure the Red Sea is worth a detourKathyhttp://mytimetotravel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
