I stayed in the Hyatt Regency in Taba Heights, and I loved it...it's the perfect place to just go and sunbathe, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who enjoy sight-seeing and learning about the culture of a new country, as it was quite secluded. I found it ideal for a week of R&R, and I would love to go back there, if only to catch up on my tan!

Well, there's the one thing I regret -- even now people find out I went to Egypt and they're like "You DIDN'T see the pyramids...?"

i thought he pyramids are overated but the valley of the kingsis a whole different story. It's all the writing on the walls, some of them have been preserved really well it looks as if it was don yesterday. I want to go back because they have found another one since then.

The pyramids are good but not the best part valley of the kings and queens in luxor are fantastic luxor temple and karnak temple in luxor are also really good. the egyptian museum in cairo is great aswell. What's the weather like in india?

Among all the places i have been to Egypt sticks out the best , there is a lot of places to see and most of the stuff are kept in really good condition there musems seems to be overflowing with artifacts and mummies , nile is such a beautiful river . Everything about Egypt is good the pyramid the spinx and the history , Even i am planning to go there once more have you been to Alexandrea that too is a nice place to scout.

I went to Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria, and the Siwa Desert. All of these places had their own natural beauty. Climbing Mt. Sinai was the greatest time of all. The beauty of the majestic mountains when the sunrises is breathtakingly beautiful.

well i haven't been to egypt but it's one of my dreams. i studied museum studies in college and i'm now looking for a job in a museum, i'm hoping to work in egyptology. one day i hope to go to egypt to see the pyramids and one day if i can become an egyptologist perform a dig out there. there are still some places that they haven't looked for artifacts.

Hi Sounds exciting, you must go to luxor, to the valley of the kings and queens and especially the temples of karnak and luxor they are out of this world. I'm hoping ot go bakc to that part myself this year. good luck with it all.

last summer i had the pleasure of visiting both cairo and alexandria. it was so much fun and i thought different of the world after that. the food is delicious and the flavor of it seems more... real i guess you could say. anywho... so my uncle put me to drive while we were there and i thought i was never going to make it out alive. the driving is as much fun as it is dangerous. you can't just be on autopilot like if you were drivng in the states. i also liked that the people there are so friendly. everyone is each other's brother and you're really never alone. the pyramids left me speechless. it's amazing what ancient civilizations were capable of it really is. i would definitely recommend someone to visit the land of the nile

I just came back from my first holiday to egypt. I went with my sister and we stayed in Cairo for 3 days then flew to Abu Simbel, and then on to Aswan where we joined one of the Nile cruisers for a 3 day cruise down the Nile to Luxor for another 3 days there. We wnjoyed the holiday so much that we where already starting to plan another holiday in Egypt before we had finished this one! The next time, we will probably try to go right back to Luxor.

I took a beautiful cruise from Cyprus to Port Said, Egypt and then in an armored caravan, we drove to Cairo. In Cairo we saw the amazing Egyptian Museum where they had a exhibit displaying the remains of the Pharaohs. We also had lunch on a floating restaurant down the Nile where there were dancers and entertainers. Finally we drove to the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, which were incredible to see in person. They are extremely touristy now-a-days with beggars and peddlers swarming around the base of the pyramids harassing tourists. But the desert landscape is beautiful, and you can see the sprawling Cairo skyline from the pyramids. I would recommend to anyone a trip to Egypt. But beware, it may not be what you expect at all.

I just came from Sham El Sheikh and it was really good.I spent 1 week in there and stayer at a hotel called Amphoras holiday.The hotel was really good and the hotel workers were very nice.The food was good too. Mostly I sunbathed and snorkled in there.The sea was only 100 metres away and the corals and fishes were colorful and beautiful. I loved being in there and I certainly recommend going there.
