I've got mixed feelings on this. I was the guest of a few people there, and while with them, my experience was absolutely stellar. However, prior to my linking up with them, I decided to visit the pyramids on my own, which was not positive. Everyone there is 'in on it', and I was frustrated.

I also visited Luxor while there, and I have to say I'll remember that for the rest of my life as an amazing 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience. I had amazing hosts and guides for the duration of my stay.

If you find the right people, it can be great.
