If anybody else wants to discuss holiday destinations the they can feel free to.

Egypt is fab, went there a few years ago in July! It was 50c and most tours had to be done really early in the morning cos it got so hot later. Spent time in Cairo for the pyramids and the museum to see the mask of Tutankahmen, then on to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings and then Aswan to see Abu Simbel. If you get the chance do a cruise down the Nile, you'll never forget it.

Make sure you drink only bottled water and don't buy any bottled water from roadside stalls because they just use old bottles filled up from the tap! Also take loads of biros (yes biros) and give them to the local kids who follow you everywhere instead (instead of money). I even got in Luxor Museum for free by giving the bloke in the box office half a dozen biros for his kids.
