I wanted to know if I have estimated correctly the costs for a 2 week trip to Egypt. My estimate per person is $600 (Canadian) so about $500 American for 2 weeks NOT including accommodation (I've contacted people about renting their apartments so I'm okay with figuring out costs for that). Here's our itinerary: Cairo (5 days) Pyramids at Giza The Sphinx Cairo Museum Amr Ibn Al-As Mosque Al Azhar Park Nile River boat ride Khan El Khalili market Birqash Camel Market Hanging Church Step Pyramid at Saqqara The Synagogue of Ben Ezra University campus tour (AUC?) Pyramid Sound and Light Show Alexandria (1 or 2 day trips from Cairo) Alexandria Library The Roman Amphitheatre Latest Egyptian Movie at a theater Mall Sinai (night trip from Cairo) Mount Sinai (Gabal Moosa) Hurghada (4-5 days) Snorkelling/Diving Boat with glass bottom Submarine Desert Safari + Souvenirs = ? + Food = $150 + Transportation = $150 TOTAL = CAD $600 / person / 2 weeks ** We may also want to do a day trip to El Fayoum from Cairo. ** Also, we'll be with a local who is a friend of mine and he says he will try to save us as much money as possible (as we're poor little students lol) - can he really do that?? Thanks in advance!... Read More »
