I’ll be sure to memorise the advice here for when I do go. Who can complain about eating street food to save money. I’ll let my gf deal with the haggling though!

Let Rami know I’ve saved his email already!!

That’s a great tip! Learning a new language is always helpful, no matter where you go.

In my experience it also helps to learn a bit of Arabic, as almost no tourists bother to do so. It will set you apart from the crowd and endear you more to the locals. Most Egyptians are incredibly warm and friendly people, and you will have a much richer experience as a result.
