What a fantastic vacation that sounds... Congratulations on a great week off.

I have always wanted to go to Egypt.. but finances and concerns about the situation there have delayed it.

When you say a great deal on the package, can you tell me how much?.

Like you, I would be concerned about my....... um... up top!!

Many thanks

Hi Mickie,
First thing I would say is not to be overly concerned about 'the situation' in Egypt. We were there last September and again a couple of weeks ago and we have booked again for October this year. The Egyptian people are great and we feel no sense of threat walking the streets, even at night. We go to Luxor because we love the history/archaeology ( temples, tombs, etc). The tourist numbers are only a tiny fraction of what they were before the revolution and the locals can't do enough for you. We went to Sharm a few years back but it isn't for us, nothing there apart from diving and bars. I'd be a wee bit more concerned about Cairo, but not enough to say don't go.

The deal we had a couple of weeks back cost us just over £300 each for a one week 'all inclusive' package, including return flights from London Gatwick. The same package holiday is still available at about £470 for TWO weeks (going on Wednesday this week).

That is a good deal indeed... Going to talk it over with the wife and see about a trip in our future.. May even see you there.

Many thanks
