If you have an option on where to go when in Egypt, then you should choose Hurghada or its babysister El Gouna. Hurghada is the pearl of the Red Sea.

But at least my LCD showed it. I worked around it by using a battery grip with AA Batteries. Great to hear you're visiting Germany, but don't expect too much from Berlin. It's a historical city, but it's also pretty dirty. :/ Have a great time in Egypt! I am thinking about coming back to Egypt this year :-) Chris Hi Jason,

Great to hear you’re visiting Germany, but don’t expect too much from Berlin. It’s a historical city, but it’s also pretty dirty. :/

Have a great time in Egypt! I am thinking about coming back to Egypt this year :-)

I'm here in Egypt now. My trip is almost identical to yours. Cairo (Giza, Saqqara, museum, Citadel Mosqe, etc) Aswan (Abu Simbel, Philae), then a cruise up the Nile checking Kom Obo and Edfu on the way... then arriving in Luxor. Valley of the Kings, Queens, Hatshepsut, Karnak, then over to Horghada for a day of snorkeling. Then back to Cairo and I fly from here to your home country. Flying into Berlin, excited to see Germany as I've never been and never been to Europe at all. Sadly my Nikon D80 is acting up though, after putting a freshly charged batter in, after just a couple hundred shots its drained completely. Doesnt even show a low battery indicator or anything. LCD is completely dead. I usually get about 5 days on a single charge, and when the batter is low it flashes etc. I am reading that this could be an internal power supply problem on the D80... which would be very unfortunate timing! :-/ Here's to hoping i'll make it through ok...
