Talk about this trip (2)
Such a vibrant ,and unusual place... The trip to Egypt will not ever be forgotten. Only one recommendation, make sure that you carry ALOT of small bills for tips AND learn the word "shukrahn". It comes in very handy to be able to say "No shukrahn" (No thank you)when the vendors etc get pushy.
While in the government run shops you may feel safer, you get better deals amongst the locals. HOWEVER, no guarantee on quality or safety there.
I highly recommend going to Alexandria. While you don't have to spend alot of time there, it's called the "jewel of the Egyptian Coast" for a reason. Especially, if you like seafood!
