It's a fair way off, but I'm going to Egypt for two weeks over next Christmas. It's a place I've wanted to visit for years, so I'm really looking forward to it.
Are you doing the Nile cruise? I'm quite jealous. That's one of my "dream" trips I'm dying to take.

I'm just curious (and I hope I will not be accused of hijacking this thread):
how many vacation days your big boss is giving you?

I need a holiday badly. Christmas wasn't precisely restful... I'll be visiting my sister in Miami in February. At least I'll get to see a bit of blue sky. And no snow

It's a 7-day Nile cruise, followed by 4 days on Lake Nasser (ie above the Aswan dam), and finally three days in Cairo. It's very much my "dream" trip, too. Costing me a blooming fortune, but I've been saving up for it for the last two years. When I "did" Egypt I wanted to do it "properly".

You're so right; I always wanted to go too, but my husband doesn't and if he isn't about to become sensible about this; I might just go by myself one day ! &*

At least I've got more sense than a neighbour of mind who went in August, because it was cheap. They found it a little on the warm side . Winter is peak season in Egypt, which is why I'm going at Christmas .

Exactly!

I know of a couple of people who have been to Egypt (Sharm El Sheikh) and not seen the Nile or the Pyramids.

seems a shame.



Obviously not Egypt, but I've always been interested in visiting Petra.

Petra looks fantastic!

Did any of you guys watch 'An Idiot Abroad?' on Sky 1?

I've been there in 2009. Wonderful and beautiful. But if you ever go; go also to Syria: Damascus, Aleppo; such beautiful Roman buildings and such I never saw. And than Jordania: the desert where Lawrence of Arabia fought and the cave where he hid himself. But Petra: really is astonishing, beautiful. But don't go for just one day in Petra, but 2 or 3. It's not just the treasury, but also all kind of other buildings and tombs.
