In a few short weeks I'm off on a trip to Egypt. There's a lot nof planning involved including getting there, getting around and finding places to stay.
The summer weather in south west Scotland has been nothing short of abominable. So to say I'm looking forward to going to Egypt soon would be an understatement. Even though it's work it will be tremendous knowing that for a few weeks at least I will not see any rain.
I'm flying into Cairo then planning on taking a rail journey to Aswan and flying on to Abu Simbel to photograph the temples there. Then I'll spend a few days round Aswan, checking out the attractions, the souks, sailing on the Nile and visiting the dam before taking the train to Luxor. There I'll be shooting stock photographs of the many antiquities before taking the train back to Cairo for a few days exploring the old city, visiting the Pyramids and the Museum.
The only thing I have in place at the moment is my flight to Cairo from Glasgow. Everything else has to be arranged. Check my blog regularly and I'll let you know how I'm getting on and how you can use the same sources to book yourself an individually tailored tour of Egypt without having to fork out a fortune to an agency.
