I’m actually thinking of saying in Hurghada a coupe of days to do some excursions there! At this rate we will need a holiday to recover from being away

Sounds like a good idea. Tombs and temples have a limited appeal to most 7 year olds!

Try a snorkelling boat trip out to the islands....maybe see dolphins!

A desert safari - jeep or quad bike - is also interesting. Fake Bedouin included!

Hurghada has an impressive aquarium....and el Gouna’s worth a visit, if only to observe the contrast between upmarket international-standard tourism and what you’ll experience in Luxor.

Is that good?

My first thought was - ask him to quote in GBP (I hate changing my money to USD). Unfortunately, having not visited Egypt for a while I've not been watching the currency conversion rates between USD/GBP/LE so I'm not sure now which currency would be best for you. I know I paid GBP when I used them and it was better on my purse.

No such thing as a reputable company, hey! this Egypt.
Go get the bus.....

You will have noticed the frequency with which buses crash in Egypt..with enormous loss of life.

Ask him to tell you how much in UK pounds or Egyptian, the Egyptian pound is about 20le to 1 UK.

Interesting to read the above. Sort of confirms my own thoughts.
