Well without wanting to sound too official here Newcastle, the taxis, tourist mini buses, and tourist coaches have to pay a special premium or 'insurance', and certain condions have to be met for certain vehicles to carry tourist.newcastle wrote:Tourist minibuses, cars with tourist plates, taxis. .......no problem. For some reason a tourist in his own car can't get into the VoK car park and has to abandon his vehicle outside. It's the 'rules'.
Years ago, through their ill-gotten gains, a number of men in Luxor purchased cars and mini buses for the sole purpose of attracting tourists, without being correctly registered. Some years ago now, private vehicles were banned from official tourist car parks. I remember warning a certain person at the time on this forum, after repeated warnings, that persons vehicle was confiscated.
