Has anyone been to Egypt recently
As a present for my daughter graduating i'm taking her to egypt at end of september. Has anyone been recently and got their visa at the airport in Egypt. Have read you can buy the visa when you get there. Just wondering how easy it is. Also anyone recomend any excursions apart from cairo/luxor. Thanks for any info.

Thanks for reply m8. Also going to Sharm. We are at least going to do Cairo so from what i've read cant get away with free visa. As you said will prob just have to join the long queue. Just wanted to know if its straightforward at the airport.

Thanks for info m8. We're staying at Dreams Beach. Got really good deal. Dont think we will do cairo by road!! Will pay extra and fly. Going to try to do Cairo,Luxor and a snorkling trip. Seen a good one with camel ride snorkling and lunch with bedhouins. Have also been recomended the night trip into the desert.

Agree about Cairo, dreadful place but the pyramids and museum are a must, memphis and saqqara too... all do-able in one day and if you get the chance to go to the sound and light show at the pyramids during the evening, go for it, its lovely.
I doubt you'd fit Cairo and Luxor into one trip, its a 2 hour flight from Cairo to Luxor and Luxor is far far nicer with much more to see, Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Luxor temple, Karnak temple (superb), Luxor museum etc etc

Thanks for the advice. For some reason i am not getting post notification.
I am at the moment looking at a 2 day trip. Day 1 in Luxor staying overnight then to Cairo next morning.Therefore will have more time in Luxor. Always the way wish we'd booked longer.
Everything Kaytutt said is included in the 2 day itinerary. Light show at Karnak Temple instead of pyramids.
