In January 2000 Ali and I are planning to backpack around
Egypt.
How can we organise a nile river cruise? Will January be
too cold at night? Wheres the best place to sart our
journey? Best sights? Whats the cost? Can everything be
organised if we just rock up and ask some Egyptian
boatmen? Any recomendations or suggestions re: dope!!!
All information appreciated.
Many thanks from Middle East dreaming aussies, Ali and Mike!

    Are you nuts? It's EGYPT you're talking about. If you get
    caught with dope you will go to jail for the rest of your
    life. If they determine that you are trafficking (who knows
    how the Egyptian police determine that??) then you can be
    executed. Go for beers instead.

    Egypt doesn't need your smelly ilk of unwashed pot-smoking
    backapckers.

    whoa--- that last post sucked. um, i was in the middle east with friends a couple years ago and i heard so many pot horror stories-- someone claims in morocco they actually hire people to pretend to be dealers then fine you or throw you in jail. stick to beers, no weed is worth the potential hassle or trauma!--good luck and have fun!
