Hired a driver to take us to the sites. The guides from our cruise were terrible too. Mostly because my kids weren't paying attention and there were 20 people on the tour so I jst hired a guide for our family.

Great trip.

Is Egypt a country one should only visit with a guide?

You don't go in Cairo. I think a tour guide is best, or 3 day Nile cruise

We did Egypt last year. Yes, you need a guide. You won't even know what you're

If you’ve done a lot of travel, no you don’t need a guide

I once turned up my nose at the idea of Nile Cruze. Turns out it’s a great way

A live aboard in Egypt is a fantastic value if that’s your thing. Fun with kids!

I can’t think of a good reason not to use a local tour company to see Cairo.

Also trade your dollars on the black market.
