We only went to Cairo, as our pockets weren't deep enough to trek south, but, man, it was great. You would LOVE it.<BR/><BR/>And Petra? Oh, I so want to go to Petra. If you go, take a zillion photos!Merujohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14123831956012950960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-1160002087439230692006-10-04T18:48:00.000-04:002006-10-04T18:48:00.000-04:00It's more a matter of interest level and timing. ...It's more a matter of interest level and timing. Most of my friends have unpredictable work schedules, and none are anywhere as much into Egypt as I am. I do have a friend with family in Lebanon though, and I think he might be game if we could ever sort out the timing.<BR/><BR/>I haven't priced out an independent trip, but some of the group trips are rather expensive. A trip to North Africa which also sounded cool was 3x the cost of the one to Egypt (which I'm sure is why it didn't get enough people and was cancelled).Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168243108016358137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11901578.post-1159998367252771022006-10-04T17:46:00.000-04:002006-10-04T17:46:00.000-04:00There must be some other group tours of Egypt with...There must be some other group tours of Egypt with side trip to Jordan that don't involve a 4-day cruise. I am not sure, but I think that those college alumni tours are always exhorbitantly expensive, but maybe it's just a prejudice on my part.<BR/><BR/>Is there absolutely no one you could pair with to go on such a trip?Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397908781677596824noreply@blogger.com
