Visiting the Elephantine Island (Nubian Villages) is a must if you are in Aswan.
Consider the less-crowded Tarabin, instead of Nuweiba or Dahab in the Sinai. The Coloured Canyon was a highlight there.

A must-do in Cairo: the Bazaar Khan al-Khalili. Be sure to devote some time to this; it’s most enjoyable when you get lost in it and can just wander about with no time pressure.

The Birqash Camel market was truly one of my favourite sights. The folks were wonderful to us, but then we were the only tourists.

Dakhla: we visited an old cemetery in the direction of Farafra, which is more than 400 years old from the time of the Ayyubids. It is a nice place with some old mausoleums, and on a little hill there is a white grave of a famous sheikh. Then we went to Al-Qasr. Today, there are only 150 people living there. Most of the buildings are in ruins, but some were recently renovated. Highlights are the old mosque with a grave of a famous sufi sheikh, Sheikh ed-Din. Once every month you can see meetings of sufis here, and watch them doing their religious songs. There is an old medresse, which was a court and afterwards, an old corn mill. There is no entrance fee, but give something to the local guide. On the outside of the old city, you can visit an old pottery not in any use any more. After Al-Qasr, we drove to a nice hot spring in the middle of green fields. There we took our lunch and had a good bathing. On the way back, we made a stop in the sand dunes and were invited into a house of bedouins.

I think this is studpid what Mubarak doing in Egypt. He lost already and nothing could help him. People should now when they’re fallen.
