Hi there,

You are very helpful. I will be honest, I am very overwhelmed with all the planning. We just got back from Australia for our wedding and that was a huge planning event from the States. We just bought a house and moved in 6 months ago so I am pooped with details. I am beginning to get a feeling that getting to ,from and around Egypt is going to be time consuming and a bit of an ordeal. I was very excited up until yesterday and now I am having doubts. If we get in on the 26th at 3.15pm and leave on the 5th at 0110am that only gives us 8 full days to see Cairo and go diving. I am an avid diver and have heard so many tales of the Red Sea that I can't go to Egpyt and not dive. However I need to see ancient monuments also. Weeding out the must sees and the information is what is driving me crazy. I have been told that 2 weeks is what one really needs to see the highlights. We could go another time if that is the case. However, we have talked about this a bunch and would love to go but it means planning down to the minute and it is a 3rd world country. Any thoughts? How long have you spent on your visits?
