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! |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |

Wild camping on the road from Baris to Luxor, just outside of Luxor. Take
the old road and get out of sight. Very nice. |

Rezeiky
Camp, a very nice relaxing spot from which one can get to major sites
in Luxor on foot. They even have a pool! (the picture is unfortunately out
of focus, sorry!). The manager Tony and his cousin can take care of any
problems you might have. |
