Just returned from Egypt and had the most wonderful time. I think that perhaps for some people it is better to travel with a tour group. We had absolutely no problems until three of us decided to take a very short horse and buggy ride. Seems like we set ourselves up to be taken advantage of. Fortunately, there was a tourist policeman walking by who we motioned over and although he probably could not understand us it was enough to change the tune of the buggy driver. Our guide later told us we should have gotten his buggy number and he would have reported the driver. I loved Egypt and the trip was fantastic. But, I am happy we were with a group of 7 and the guide who was constantly taking care of us. Besides the amazing sights, I found the Egyptian people very kind and to have a great sense of humor.
