Invite Wording For Black & White Bday

Budget Accommodation Transport

Some info on transport ...
# Taxis . In general 5 THE in cities (3 THE if it is a very small town) or 10 THE if the journey exceeds 10 mins ... which is very often the case in Alexandria or Cairo. Haggling difficult but possible and very well explained on this note: How to take a taxi in Cairo?!
For a taxi for half a day, starting 40-60 THE (9h - 14h) and day between 200LE 120 LE and so good car with air conditioning.
Me Idea: We love firmly negotiate prices to try to have a price "Egyptian" and generally give more as a tip but never accept a price rise for the tourist. This is not a service to the Egyptians that a foreigner accepts anything ... Finally, it is our opinion!

# Feluccas, carriage, cart. Count 5LE for small distances. Approximately 20-25LE hour.

# Ferry. About 1 LE / person / trip for tourists (prices seen in Cairo, Aswan and Luxor)

# trains and buses. Refer guides that are pretty fair. In general, tickets purchased at stations with ticket offices and we do not roll. Prices of our major travel indicated in footnotes.
