Wow, you've changed my mind. I'm going, my friends complain about every place they go. I usually enjoy most places when I don't have unrealistic expectations.

If I were to go in 2019 for a trip similar to yours, could I still sleep out in the desert by an oasis? Your trip is pretty much what I wanted to see too.
How many days did you spend there total? Money (estimate)? I know inflation is a factor here since it was 15 years ago.
- thekid314 8y agoYeah, there's a few places you can get out to the desert. The closest rural desert park is a place called Wadi al-Hitan (Vally of the whales because there are lots of fossils from when the desert was an ocean floor). There are many tour companies that take you out to the White Desert in Farafra for some crazy rock formations. If you have more time go to Siwa to see a real oasis city. The train can take you down to Luxor for the Valley of the Kings and such. You can spend as much or as little as you want here. If you are very price conscious get a flight from kiwi.com, uber to get around, there are some cheap hotels downtown, or airbnb, or couch-surfing. Wish I could show you around.
- rblion 8y agoThanks for the tips! I'll refer back to this before I go. I will also pack my Indiana Jones hat for safe measure. :)
