The country is amazing but the people are mostly rude, uncivilized and very in your face aggressive.

Well, your trip needs careful planing. If you planned well, you might wonder where are all these images you see on TV come from? you might tell yourself Gee, that must have another country in the news.
Your careful planning should be only focused on Cairo Museum . It is not a bad idea to avoid Cairo Museum on Fridays as they are becoming our weekly demonstration entertainment. Any bunch of people who wants to have TV appearances will go there on Friday and just go bla bla bla, then go home by sunset. In most cases it is peaceful, but you never know!
The other region for history people is the Nile. Going on a Nile cruise is probably the best travel experience in North Africa canadian discount air travel , I do not like exaggerations of saying best in the world, I m a modest person :)
The sightseeing is about 2 to 3 hours daily if you are taking a 4 nights canadian discount air travel cruise. There is always time to rest and enjoy the scenery canadian discount air travel and soak the sun too. Almost all Nile cruisers have a plunge pool and sunbeds on top deck. Swimsuits are perfectly acceptable (the thinner the better) :) just kidding
You also have no troubles at all as long as you are not going to North Sinai. So the famous resort cities of Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Safaga Marsa Alam are perfectly OK. They also have international airports with direct, almost daily, flights from major European cities.
Just got back from a 3 week tour there. canadian discount air travel Spectacular place, with lots of antiquities, etc. but also the first place we've been to that we do not feel safe going ourselves... canadian discount air travel Read more without a guide.
Constant harassment everywhere! Walking back to our hotel (intercon) from the museum was a 5 minute terrifying walk. The vendors/swindlers whatever you want to call them were constantly all over us. Similarly, at other places like the spice market canadian discount air travel in Luxor, Aswan and elsewhere. They target canadian discount air travel tourists with charming lies and if that fails get very threatening.
The country is amazing but the people are mostly rude, uncivilized and very in your face aggressive. All the more since the "revolution" where there seems to be a further deterioration in law and order (even the police asks for money to be proactively photographed with you) My advice is do not go there unless accompanied by a qualified, canadian discount air travel professional guide at all times. Appoint a bonafide local travel agency. The risks aren't worth it.
After 25 JAN 2011, tourist arrivals to Egypt surged to a very low number. This had caused many people to lose their jobs in the industry and now it is becoming a survival game. When they see a tourist they just keep hassling in the hope to sell them something.
