I'm travelling to Egypt either mid-May or August 2010 and have decided to take a tour while I'm there. I'm not normally one for tours - I always travel alone and completely independently, but thought it might be a good idea to go a bit 'touristy' in Egypt.

I've found a few ideas online for tours etc, but they all charge a massive single supplement which I'd like to avoid!

Is anyone willing to share a mattress with me in order to see Egypt at the best possible price? I'm considering anywhere between 5 days and 15 days at the moment and am looking at a budget tour including the major sights as well as perhaps some 4WDing, diving, trekking, camel riding, camping, cruising. I'm quite interested in a lot of what Egypt has to offer!

I'm Australian, female, 29 years old. Of course I will want to know quite a bit about you before we shake hands, and I'm not at all interested in unnecessary attention at night if you know what I mean. I am more than happy to answer any questions about myself as well.

Please feel free to get in touch if this sounds like something that could work for you!

Peace.

Hi,
I just want to add that even if the temperature is too high, with the right clothing it is ok.
Wear long skirts and blouses!! Yes long to protect you from the sun and heat.
With the absence of humidity, even though it is hot, you can move around easily.
Have in mind that it is better do all sightseeing early in the morning. The earlier the better.
I remember when we were in Egypt we had to get up at 06 am to leave for a tour because it was considered the best hour. Just have this in mind, and I hope you find sb to share this trip with very soon. Have a look on the trip I had if you wish.
