Nice diving with Red Sea College - the Egyptian guides are good fun and love the job. Take a dry suit or a 5mm wet suit - january is bloody cold. The town is crap, do not use the hotels in the centre - 2 nightclubs in Neama Bay will keep you awake until 4am

I decided to take the bus to Hurghada. There are basically two options. The first is the Upper Egypt Bus Company and the other is Jetbus. I chose Jetbus because the office was in downtown Luxor, while the Upper Egypt Bus Company’s office is located close to the airport. This meant having to de...

-In regards to Shillings. Tanzanian chillings are quite easy to understand, as 10US$ is like 12 Tanzanian Chillings. In Kenya works different. You have to divide the amount times 60 and then you have it in dollars.
-Airports have good exchange rate! although sometimes hotels are not bad either.

S. Africa can be dangerous unfortunately. Several car hijackings are happening (not as much in Western Cape as in the rest of the country but that doesnt mean that Western Cape is totally safe).

The Pyramids at Giza are a must see when traveling to Egypt.. I would assume this is obvious for most travelers, but it can really be an amazing sight.. To get into the Giza Pyramids & Sphinx it costs about 25 EGP/$5.00 USD if you are a student... and about 50 EGP/$10.00 USD if you are an adult.. Re...

As a backpacker Cape Town is one of my favorite Cities. Although the public transport is lousy and at night it is dangerous to walk the streets alone the vibe makes up for the down falls. S. Africa has an interesting history and is loaded with adventure seeking trips. All of the hostels in S. Sfri...

We exchanged our money in our hotel and at the airport. For women, it is best if you do not show too much arms and legs. I realized my bare arms was causing a frenzy (rolling my eyes) so I purchased a couple shawls. Even then, many egyptian men came up to my husband and patted his back to say "lucky...

Although one of the most common ways to sightsee a foreign town is through a travel agency group, especially in the case of Cairo, I would stronlgy propose a better option: Either you travel on your own or you are with 3-4 friends, you can book (for a low amount of money) a local taxi driver for a w...
