Arous El Bahre hotel. Paid 125E£ after negotiating a rate for 90E£, the receptionist apparently made a mistake! Rooms are nice and the view excellent, too bad about the bait and switch tactic. The hotel next door would have cost 90E£ for pretty seedy rooms!
Cairo, Salma Camping (in Herraniya, near Giza)
N29 58.164 E31 10.439

One of the only camping spots near Cairo. Another one nearby is being renovated (2006). This one is very pricey by Egyptian standards (25E£/person). The proprietor is a very friendly and extremely interesting man Mr. Saïd Moussa. He is very helpful with any problems or questions regarding Egypt, and well worth a conversation or two. Beware the mosquitoes and ants who like to eat through tents.
Bahariya Oasis, Eden Garden Camp

Eden Garden Camp The best value for money in Egypt. The proprietor is very friendly and helpful. The food plentiful and good, and the ambient wonderful. Probably the best place we found to relax and catch your breath in Egypt.
White Desert
N27 20.697 E28 10.388
An excellent wild camping spot on top of a white limestone hill. Great view over the rock formation at the entrance of the park, and nice and quiet at night.
Dahkla Oasis (Mut)
N25 33.735 E28 56.985

The camping spot here was so dreary and it was so hot that for nearly the same price we got a small "cabin" with an electric fan. Dinner in the restaurant is better skipped, breakfast was very good though!
East of Luxor
N25 17.913 E32 09.515
          Wild camping on the road from Baris to Luxor, just outside of Luxor. Take the old road and get out of sight. Very nice.
Luxor, Rezeiky Campsite & Hotel
