Hi there, I'm seriously thinking about the Egypt trip over the Labor Day holiday. I plan on booking in the next two months.

Yes -

Dave and I are going on this trip. Feel free to e-mail us at drjsimonson@yahoo.com. I just randomly met an Egyptian on Saturday and got all kinds of tips and advice from him. It was great fun. He told me that I didn't have to worry about the souveniers being made in China, they truly are made in Egypt. He also said that riding a camel is a very good experience and they are well trained and cared for, however, as a novice camel rider, you'll probably want to ride over flatter areas for comfort. I did have a question for the group - are you getting your VISA at the Cairo airport, or before you depart?

Hi, I've booked this trip as well, my friend had gone to Cairo earlier this year, as part of work, and had given me advice as well. I'm departing from the NY area, anyone else? Thanks!

I'm leaving from NYC as well. I am leaving JFK at 10:55pm on August 30th and getting to Cairo a day before the tour starts.

If you want to say hi, my email is gabriel.pincus@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you.

I can't believe we'll be leaving in 2 weeks! We did go ahead and get our visas in advance. I was able to download the application form off of the internet and mail it to the consulate in Texas. We got our passports back in about a week. See you all soon!
