Spent a week in Egypt last month. We spent time in Cairo and then flew to Luxor. We were very lucky that we just happened to book our trip at the same time as the grand opening of the new Grand Egyptian Museum, so we got to go on opening weekend after they opened up all the galleries, including the treasures from the tomb of King Tut. We had a private guide for the pyramids so we didn't have do deal with any type of scamming/harassment. Great trip, ask me anything!
