“Best part was the camel ride and we have rode camels in many other countries. Bring lots of cash for tips because every man, his dog, police, camel and anyone else you can think of want money from you if you are white. For some unknown reason our guide forgot to take us to the famous souk/market which we booked and would have liked to see. We saw the museum with Tut’s mask even though the guide wanted to take us to the mummy museum which I didn’t want to see. Lunch was ok but does not include drinks so being 20US$ for that. The guide makes sure they leave…”
