Minette - OverlandingAfrica.com26 Aug 2011: Hi Mark. There is not so much begging in Egypt, however there is quite a bit of hassle especially at markets and main tourist attractions. Egyptians are very hospitable people and will always approach you and invite you into their shop and offer you food and drinks as this is one of the ways they try and get you to buy something from them. Hassle and Egypt go together like two peas in a pod, there is not much you can do to avoid it so best just to get used to it. This is part of their culture and just who they are! I have always said, if you can't beat them, join them! Happy trails!
mark franks25 Aug 2011: is there a high level of begging in all parts of Egypt?.would a lone traveller be targeted all the time?
Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com07 Sep 2010: Hi Jennifer, October is autumn up there so although the temperatures are still pretty warm during the day the nights are starting to cool down. Also there is a lot of KM's between Cairo and Luxor so temperatures will vary. On average, the days should be around mid to high 20's degC and the nights from 15 to 20 degC. Have fun!
jennifer Hermann05 Sep 2010: What will the temperature be in Cairo and Luxor during the day and night the first 2 weeks of October? Best Regards, Jennifer
