Well that's how much it cost me in Egypt for the 10 days I was there. That includes food, train tickets, entrance fees and accomodation. I thought it was an excellent deal. I travelled to Egypt during December and due to the limited time I had I could only travel to Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. The three major tourist spots. I have written the review based on my experiences.

That is already quite a savings that you could make on your travel to Egypt. I found that youth hostels in Cairo to be as good as any in Europe. I stayed in Sara Inn and I found it to be very satisfactory. It cost me 15EGP per night which was a very good deal. It doesn't include breakfast but you can buy breakfast for about 4 EGP. Sara Inn is quite central so most sights could made by public transport or by walking. The metro costs only 1EGP for a single journey and it will take you to the Coptic Cairo area. Coptic Cairo is quite an eye opener to how old Egypt really is. From Coptic Cairo it is possible to get to Islamic Cairo by public transport but it is a slightly fragmented journey which involves a bus and a taxi. Islamic Cairo and its mosques are located in an awkward area so it more advisable to take a taxi. From Coptic Cairo to Islamic Cairo , the taxi rate for the locals in EGP2. Tourists should be able to pay 10EGP. You have to haggle to get this price. Try taking the taxi from the main road near Coptic Cairo. It's a very short ride and 10 EGP is a good deal if you could get it. Islamic Cairo is bigger and more spread out than Coptic Cairo. Its best to get a map but there is a good chance that you will get lost. From Islamic Cairo you vould get to to the Khan El Khalili market by foot. It is a bit of a journey but worth the while. The market gets very busy on Saturday nights, which is the best day to go there. Khan El Khalili market can be a bit daunting but I found more things in the markets in Aswan and Luxor that I like than in Cairo. So it may be a good idea to try your luck in Aswan and Luxor rather than in Cairo. I found it easier to haggle and bring down prices in Luxor and Aswan rather than in Cairo. The whole set up of the market in Cairo is quite intimidating especially if you start haggling the price and start to walk away. But you have to experience it, and it may be different for you as well. It is a great place for lots of cheesy gifts.
From the market you could walk all the way down back to Downtown Cairo. The walk is pretty amazing as the entire street down to downtown Cairo is filled with stalls and people, all locals and you get a picture of what life is like in Cairo. You get to see some amazing scenes as well. There was a guy who was balancing a huge tray full of bread on his head. When you see how the bread is traded on the streets you may just start to decline the free bread that is given to you at every meal in restaurants. I tried using the maps in the rough guide to Egypt to try to navigate myself but it was quite difficult but I managed to find my way back to downtown cairo in the end as the roads are well signposted anyway and they are in English.

The pyramids in Giza are within easy reach from Sara Inn. Once again you can take public transport. A metro to Giza station and from there a bus. It is quite easy and can be done without wasting too much time. A taxi should only cost you 20EGP. You must make sure that the taxi driver takes you to the official entrance though as there are two entrances to the pyramids. You wont have this problem if you take a bus. We were dropped off at the 'wrong' entrance and we were immediately greeted by a guy selling his camel trips. There was no one else selling the camel there so we didn't have a choice at all. The main entrance has police presence and also a ticket counter before you can go in. So you can't miss it. You will probably get more deals for camel rides there. If you want to ride the camel within the vicinity of the pyramids than you have to get a guide who will take you into the pyramid site. The camel ride we took circled an entire village before finding an illegal entrance into the pyramids. I did see some people who got on the camel inside in the pyramid entrance, so that must have been a better deal. It is not particularly exciting going around the village as it just takes up the time and the sole purpose of camel rides are usually so that you can ride it within the pyramids. So get the cabbie to drop you off at the right entrance and make sure that the camel ride if you take one will get you inside the site first. The ride costs us 150EGP each. That does not include the tip that you have to give the guys who chaperoned you on the camel. We gave another 100EGP for both the guys and also gave a 1 Euro coin to each of them. That price we later found out was very good. Some other tourists we met later told us that they had to end up tipping too many guys who followed them, so it will best to check just exactly how many people are following you on the ride so in the end you don't get ripped off too badly. Ignore suggestions to go further away into the desert as this may an ideal way of getting more money from you once you are in the desert just to escort you back. Once inside the pyramid compounds men on camels will ask you to pay them money to take a photo of them, which is a bit ridiculous.

We left Cairo on train to Luxor. Contrary to what you read on Lonely Planet it is very easy to buy local fare tickets to Luxor. It involves jostling with the locals to get the tickets but they are so much cheaper than the sleeper class tickets. We only paid about 25 to 40 EGP each compared to 60USD for the sleeper for each. The EGP 25 to 40 was for a 6 seat compartment. It was comfortable and there will someone selling tea or coffee all night long. Delays are normal so be prepared. I walked past the sleeper coaches and there were nothing to shout about. You might save the money and get the cheaper ones. Getting the ticket at Cairo wasn't really a breeze actually but it was an experience. You have to ask around for the ticket booth as they have quite a few rooms for different types of tickets. There isn't really a queue for the normal fare ticket we were trying to buy so there was much jostling and in the end a tourist police helped us and we gave him some baksheesh.
Luxor exists I believe because of tourism so you will get hassled a LOT here. It depends how you handle it. It also depends on what you want to do in Luxor. The Thebes Valley has to be the most exciting thing to see here. The cheapest way to get to the Valley of Thebes will be to take a ferry across the rive and hire a van or a taxi to take you to the Thebes Valley. It will cost you about EGP20 for a return trip and you can arrange with the driver to pay him when he picks you up to take you back to the boat. The boat across costs us EGP5 for 6 people. But we were lucky. The official ferry will only cost you EGP1 each. But no one will tell you where it is of course. Coming back will be pricier but try to haggle the price anyway. At the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens, it all depends on what you want to see and want you want to do. In Luxor itself, there are quite a few things to see and do. There are a few museums which are all within walking distance. There is no point taking a taxi if you want to save money. The museums are good though. The best thing about Luxor is that it is a good place to get gifts. I felt that there were of better quality and also there were cheaper. Maybe bacoz you can bargain more and the vendors are willing to reduce the prices quite significantly. I suggest you do the gift shopping in Luxor. The hostels in Luxor were not as good as the ones in Cairo. But for the prices you pay it was good. We stayed in Queen Nefertiti which was good value for money. Breakfast is included in the price. There is 2 Queen Nefertiti so make sure get the right one. Well I don't have a fool proof plan on how you find the right one but what we did was follow the map on Lonely Planet and ignore all the touts that were there. The few restaurants in Luxor are not too bad but not all that clean.
