    As far as I can see, the price killer for Egypt is an evening meal with wine.

    A bottle of wine is expensive in restaurants there and a decent one is extortionate:eek::eek::eek:

    And this won't affect most visitors as they will be AL in big hotels or FB on Nile cruises.

    General things like day trips & daily car hire would be more useful than suncream (which most people bring) & fags (which most people don't smoke).

    yeah strange these surveys, if a bottle of wine is too high i'll drink beer, if beer is too expensive I'll drink water..
