In January, 2008, we took a 5-day trip to Egypt, visiting both Cairo and Alexandria. We went through a UK tour company called Oasis Overland, as they had a 4-day or 5-day "weekend break" to Cairo. We wanted to ensure that we had a guide and transportation, since we weren't sure how much English was spoken in Cairo. As well, once we got there and saw the traffic, we were VERY happy that we had a driver.
We took lots of pictures, so we've tried to split them on several pages, so that the pages don't take hours to load.
