Just wanted to add that I went with the tour company Gecko’s for my Egyptian adventures. I was on the Egypt Encompassed tour and it was fabulous because they only use local guides who know the cities inside and out. Check out their website (http://www.geckosadventures.com) …even if you don’t go with them, their itineraries are useful to look at when planning your own. And of course, you’re welcome to ask me anything as well. I’m no expert, but I do recommend horseback riding by the pyramids at night!

P.S. found your website via the departures fan page on facebook. great marketing!

I spent 3 weeks there, and I still want to go back!

Don’t know if you’d want to do Egypt solo though…foreigners get harassed in general, and it’s even worse if you’re a female. I’d look into some tours just to avoid the harassment – it’s likely worth it (especially in Luxor).

I have some detailed posts re: Egypt on my website so feel free to check it out.

Whatever you decide, I’m sure it will be awesome.

Strange how similar styles range throughout the world !

Although Mel can give you more info on the beautiful places in Turkey, I’d go to Egypt first. We need a break from traveling in Europe! Do some research on traveling alone as a female in Egypt though… There are some shady areas.
