I know quite a lot of people choose to stay in self catering appartments when they visit Luxor. I can see the plus and minus side of this. If you stay short term though e.g 7-10 days in one do you...

Annieacorn - I agree with your comment as it relates to the UK and most European countries - tips should never be seen as part of a wage - the employer should pay a proper wage in the first place and...

Must admit we hit the souk and McDonalds on a Friday so much quieter than other days, we personally do not get to much hassle, it's far worse if we have a man with us. We also usually go places via a...
