Egyptair CAI-LXR price question

[tagor]

We are considering taking an overnight trip to Luxor from Cairo while we are visiting in August 2009.
I have been looking at EGYPTAIR flights from CAI-LXR
Prices right now are 357 EGP which converts to roughly $65 U.S. round trip including taxes.
I am wondering if this price is traditionally high or low?
Trying to decide if we should book the flights now, or wait to see if the price comes down.
Consider that it will be the middle of August, which I believe is low season, also the downturn in the economy may impact travel and lower prices. On the other hand, if this is already a very low price, prices may increase as the date approaches.
If anyone has any experience or knowledge of average prices on this route your advice would be appreciated.

Also wondering if 2hrs is enough of a connection time in Cairo. We will be connecting from the return Luxor flight on EGYPTAIR which arrives at 9am, to a departing EGYPTAIR flight to Dubai leaving at 11am.

a quick tip

I just booked and ticketed a ALY/SSH/CAI ticket on egyptair.com
When their request your country on the main page, i typed first France
I was offered only Y Fare basis at 136 Euros
I tried the egyptian version (in english) , and miracle M and H fare available!
Price: 116 Euros
Worth the try.....

Thats a great price...I would book it if you can..also as for your connection times, thats cutting it close as EgyptAir and CAI is somewhat of a zoo.....but rest assured, if you miss your connection, you will be on the next available flight. If this means the next day, they will put you at the Novotel Hotel at the Airport with a room on the second floor + a meal voucher for lunch and breakfast. They are somewhat good at taking care of their passengers. The reason I know all this is I booked the same flight you are looking at.....
