Remember that Egypt is a 3rd world country and has many poor people who think that all tourists are rich, no matter where they come from in the world. Learn the phrase, “La Shukran”, (No thank you), and dont’ be afraid to say it to anyone who tries to sell you something, or asks for “baksheesh”. Believe it or not this does work. Please do not say “Emshi” (as many tour books advise), as this can be taken as an insult.

If you are travelling by road to Abu Simbel on the day excursion you should ask your Egyptologist if the ship can supply a “breakfast box”. You should definitely take some food with you as hunger will set in before you reach Abu Simbel (a 3 and a half to 4 hour trip each way). Also, make sure you take plenty of water with you as it can be very hot there and you can dehydrate quickly.
