Have just booked up for this holiday and wondered if anyone else is going or only "Just Me".

Went on the Egypt / Nile Cruise last October and was totally gobsmacked so am really looking forward to this.

I've just booked this trip. Went to Libya last November and didn't think I could face lots of travelling around again ('though Libya Is a great place to visit)but here I am!

Petra in Jordan was the highlight. Dead Sea was too rough to go in and nothing to do there for the 3 hours, apart from wait to get back on the coach.

Egypt was main reason I went, overall it was pretty good. And not too many early mornings on the trip.

Highlight overall was to start off in Amman and travel all the way through Jordan, then start off on coast of Egypt travelling to Cairo (8 hours on coach) but few stops on the way.

What did you do about currency for Jordan and Egypt? Eg did you get dollars and use them for both, or change sterling locally?

Thanks

Reccomended to steer clear of travellers cheques as very few shops / hotels are willing to cash or accept them and bank opening times are whimsical to say the least.

Egyptian money is filthy so pack some Hygenic Hand Gel unless you want to be laid up with "Tut's Tummy".

And as for the 'antiseptic' hand wipes for money I didnt use for that, but would certainly suggest taking those and tissues for the loos, as hardly any of them had loo paper in and the condition was not that great. Plus, you will need to pay a few EGP to use them so useful to get some notes changed up fairly quickly on arrival.
