I just need to order a water purifier before the end of this week. All the guide info I've read said it's a good idea to take one with you,... besides, it will cut down on buying bottled water. Oh, I'm also looking for some light weight pants that are easy to hand wash and quick to dry but other than that I'm set. I'm traveling very light, just my camera bag and a small 55 liter backpack which will just have a few clothing items and essentials.
I've pretty much fixed my itinerary. I'm leaving a few days loose so I can relax but I've decided that I'm going to spend my time at a few location instead of trying to get a whirlwind trip in to see lots of sights. So far, my trip is going to be Cairo for several days, Luxor for several days, Alexandria for several days, and then back to Cairo for the last day or two. There are so many things to see in just these cities that you could spend weeks visiting one and still not get it all in.
Lets take Cairo for example, I'm going to see the Egyptian Museum and that can take a full day to go through. I've even heard it's worth a second day and that may happen but the museum is first on my list. After that, I plan for a day visiting Coptic Cairo and the Muhammad Ali mosque at the citadel. I'll get in the Giza plane the following day and see the great pyramids. I'm not sure if I'll get an opportunity to but I also want to see Dahshur, Saqqara and Memphis. Ahh, I want to just absorb the city too so after Luxor and Alexandria I'll have to come back and spend a day or two walking streets and seeing other sights.
Awesome, I'm so excited!
