I'm working with a travel agent for the March 2009, possibly a solo traveller. Anyone else planning as well?

Yeah my husband and I are planning to do the European Discovery and the Spotlight on Greece tour in March/April 2009. When do the dates come out?

I'm planing on going to Egypt and Turkey in July 2009.
I would perfer to go in March, but it doesn't work out with my Russia and Canadian trip.

Sorry, I mean I'm going in June 2009.

I'm also planning on going to Egypt and Turkey but in April/May 2009.

Hello -

I am thinking about joining the March 2009 trip. I had plans to go to Spain with my mother, but they fell apart so now I am looking for somewhere else to go. The trip sounds like so much fun, with great reviews, and I've always wanted to go to Egypt!

My friend and I just booked March 6th 2009 . We are excited. We were originally going in Nov 07 but it became sold out sooner then we thought. Hopefully it will not be to cool at this time of year..

My friend and I are planning on booking the March 6 Egypt & the Nile trip. We will be leaving from Arkansas, USA.

Hi Danny, My frind and I are leaving from NYC on march 26th? Have you ever taken a Contiki trip before?

Opps I meant to write we are leaving on March 6th...

Hi all,
my fiancee & are planning on going on the March 7th trip - we haven't been on a contiki tour before but it sounds fantastic!

My hubby and I are also looking at the March 6th tour. Im just not sure because of it being so early in March. Im afraid of what the weather will be like (cool, sand storm?)

Hmm..just looked up info on weather in Egypt in March and it says that average temps are 11.2/23.7 C OR 52/75 F. The sand storm thing I heard about isnt until April (generally). Not too sure what to do?

I did March 07 Egypt and the Nile. Hot near the Sudan, some days chilly in Cairo, some days hot. Overall I wore jeans every day, a few days wearing a jumper (mainly at night and for the early mornings).

One day there was a dust storm in Cairo. It's not like on TV with not being able to breath and dust/sand everywhere, it just covers up the sky making it look dull (and making pictures not as impressive). You can see the difference in my pictures of the pyramids which were one day apart here:

Overall, I was more then fine with the temperature. It wasn't ridiculously hot, I went swimming at points, and coming from a cold winter felt refreshing.

I signed on today for the trip starting March 6th. I would love to chat with anyone else who is going and maybe plan to meet up early if possible.

Wow Ed those are great pictures. Thanks for sending them on.
Dancingsu - my friend & I found a great flight for a great price and did not anticipate spending an extra day or two. I wish we had. We arrive mid afternoon on the 7th.
