Hi Mark,

Love to join you but work, wife and 2 kids dictate otherwise.

Just something for you to check as I've no idea how strict Egypt is. &nbsp; November (this year) is the Islamic holy month of Ramadan during which time muslims are required to fast (no food or drink incl water) during daylight hours. &nbsp;In some countries (eg Saudi where I live) &nbsp;this also applies to non-muslims, and restaurants etc remain closed until sunset. &nbsp;I don't think that Egypt is quite as strict, and I would expect that you will be okay especailly in the hotel, but you might want to check.

Cheers, &nbsp;John

I've been to Egypt during Ramadan several times. It really doesn't affect us tourists at all. I'd warn against travelling by long-distance coach in the evening, though. As soon as the sun sets and the jerrycan of water has gone round the coach, all the Egyptians light up a cigarette – they are not allowed to smoke from sunrise to sunset either – and the air becomes thick with the smoke from their evil-smelling tobacco. You can hardly breathe &nbsp;
