We've just returned from Egypt where we cruised on the River Nile from Luxor to Aswan and back again. The Egyptians are lovely people, from our ship we could see them going about their work and tending their animals on the river bank - it never rains in that area and the Nile is the only source of water. We had a excellent Egyptian guide who got us all up at 5am to see lots of amazing tombs and temples, some over three thousand years old. We rode camels through primitive villages, Jenny made friends with a kid goat and she also won the "make your husband into a mummy using toilet rolls" competition at the ship's traditional galabaya party. She also enjoyed bartering with the street traders and, unknown to me, negotiated the purchase of a granite crocodile which almost took us over our airline luggage allowance! If you want a "value for money" holiday with good weather guaranteed - go to Egypt.
