Hi Endor,

October seems a great time. Am planning a trip there with my wife - probable dates are october 10th onwards and are planning to stay there for atleast 2-3 weeks (dates to be confirmed sometime next week) - award travel on KLM.

We were planning to travel independently but realised it would be more prudent to take what is referred to as a hybrid option - part organised part self arranged.

We plan to cover Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Sharm el Sheikh, Alexandria, Sinai and El Gouna and we plan to take in a Nile cruise, a desert safari and a few days by the beach as well as a couple of nights at the Nile Hilton.

Could you or other members of this forum who have been to egypt recommend some good online travel agencies for handling bookings for the above and let me know whether 3 weeks would be enough to explore egypt?

Its our third wedding anniversary getaway and want to make it as memorable as possible.

Thanks
