We were all extremely casual - I didn't bring a dress. It was hot, so bring lightweight loose clothing. Don't forget sunglasses, and I loved my big straw hat! They suggested covering up the arms to the elbows and legs to the knees for propriety. Have a great time.

Question for thos who have been on this trip - Is a dress necessary? I am trying to decide the minimum I can get by with clothes wise. Any advice/suggestions?

I do hope you all are able to get to Egypt eventually. We went on the Road Scholar tour last October (just before the latest turmoil), and had a wonderful trip.

I'm talking about program #12778 "Beyond the Pharaohs". Two different programs, one country. Doesn't seem one would go and not the other, however, my program isn't there yet! We too may be cancelled even tho our departure draws nigh.

That was not what I was told, The gentleman from Elderhostel phoned me a week before we were to leave that the State Department had told them not to go!!!

My March program was cancelled due to low enrollment as well so i asked to change to the Feb 22 program as it was a "go". I'm surprised RS didn't offer you that option.

Well, we are less than a week away from leaving for this trip. Very excited and so far the political unrest seems failry contained.
Very much looking forward to all the wonderful things we will see. Nancy Dunn

I think it will be a wonderful trip despite some in-country unrest which I know RS is monitoring closely.
