Thank you for the information! What is acceptable for a private driver from luxor to the red sea area like Marsa Alam? Did you book thay driver through your hotel?
We actually made friends with a cab driver that we ended up using for 2 days in Luxor and had him them drive us to Hurgada. I honestly do not remember how much we paid him as we did a bulk deal for his time for the two days. You might be able to go on the app we used (Careem) and get a ball park idea of the cost by inputting pickup and drop off locations.
I booked a couple of private tours (ATV in Giza & Aswan Botanical Garden and Felucca ride) Are the tour agencies generally safe to hire? There will be an Egyptologist on my Aswan Botanical tour.
@TravelTipsByBill Love the content ... Question ✔As a solo traveler, will you eat at the hotel restaurant or room service? I will be with a tour but I'm going to arrive few days earlier, I want to be present 😊. The hotel is an American Hotel. Thanks V/R Maria ❤✈🌐❤
In the hotel itself I would not worry at all about where to eat or your safety especially an American hotel. Remember do not eat anthing that isnt fully cooked. Example raw fruits or vegetables. they may have washed them in unsanitary water that could get you sick.
What do recommend for phone usage while traveling? Is it best to add international to my current phone plan and would I have the freedom to use it just as I do here at home in the states? Or??? This would be my first time traveling East of the USA. I typically Caribbean cruise and get ship Wi-Fi and then keep my phone in airplane mode when off ship. Also, I was planning to use my phone to take pictures and use a memory stick to dump them often to keep from filling up my phone. What is your recommendation on phone use for photos? Please be as detailed as possible for both questions. I think a vlog on these would be great too. Thanks in advance!
We cruise all the time. Last year we were on the ocean 10 out of the 12 months. We both just use our international plans on our phones. She has Verizon and I have att. When we cruise we buy the Wi-Fi package too!! As far as photos when on the Egypt trip I just made sure my pics were uploaded to the cloud. Apples iPhoto and I also use Google Photos. You can find Wi-Fi around Egypt. It’s not the fastest mind you (incredibly slow to be honest) but if you set your phone to back up to the cloud while you sleep you should be fine!!

I was told a solo female traveller should stick with her tour and not stray off alone in Egypt.
I would not worry too much about that. Just follow your instincts and dont put yourself in a situation just like you wouldnt at home.
