Just thought I'd bring up the subject of sim cards.

We bought an Egyptian Vodafone sim card and it cost 100le plus topped it up with a 50le card. We used it a lot all week (my mum was in a different hotel) but we also used it to phone the uk a couple of times for about 10 mins at a time.

Definately worth getting and holding on to for each time you go over. I think there is a 'tourist' sim card but it will only last for a few months.

Just make sure your uk phone is not sim locked and then you can just put in the Egyptian sim card and you're ready to go.
