The best way I would have thought is to take the stop over at Cairo off the route, why stop at Cairo when Luxor is only a further 1 hour flying time

Tourism certainly seems to be picking up, Dr Dear, at least from our viewpoint.
We like to have tea in places like the Winter Palace, the Nile Palace and the Sonesta, to people watch as well enjoying the drink etc. All three hotels are very busy. We also like to join a cruise to Aswan whilst we're here, but this time we couldn't find a berth!
The streets over here on the 'Side of the Living' are awash with foreigners and Egyptian tourists alike, especially in the evenings.
We've also had our fair share of guests, over the 7 weeks we've been here so far. It's getting more and more like the good old days, I'm delighted to say.
I know that the EGP has tanked against the Pound Sterling, but even that fact could have a silver lining for those involved in tourism?
Insh'Allah, of course!

It raises tourism by still being in the news King Charles will or will not attend Sharm el Sheikh ?
Plus this november besides being mine and charlie's birthday, it's 100 years since Howard Carter's discovery.
Both are all over the media currently it's called King Mania....

Anyhow I'm off to waitrose's for a free Guardian then to The Eagle..
And no I won't be buying any tofu 'I can't stand the stuff.

And Sharm needs all the help it can get, Tony Bliar and Mubarak both have houses there.. 8)

"Anyhow I'm off to waitrose's for a free Guardian"

So they've finally given up trying to get people to pay for it? About time too, I would venture!

Mind, that's a very unflattering picture of Saint Tony. (Or is it the sainted ex-President?)

On my way home popped into The Eastern just the other side of the square.

Dead as a dodo, but had a brewdog, no draught bitter...
But had an interesting chat with the lonely bar manager, me explaining the many problems of pub closures
due to conversion by companies.

He said it's Stonegate owned now, seems they own 4,700 UK pubs, well this one isn't working... 8)

Ps: This after me reading this article outside the Eagle.............

Perhaps because in an age when air travel is more costly to the pocket and the environment, it is better to amalgamate flights. I understand the frustration of not being able to fly direct to a particular airport of choice, but tourism in Egypt does not begin and end in Luxor.

We would love to take a two week break next year, but Larnaka to Luxor is 2 hour flight direct. It's the 4-5 hour stop over in Cairo that puts us off.
In a total of 7 hours we could get to India. I know some will say if you really want to come you will put up with the stop over, yes we may, but just not in Cairo Airport.
