I am planning on going to Egypt next year, and I was wondering when it would be best to go (good weather, less crowds, etc). I plan on seeing some dancing and doing some costume shopping as well. I also would like to take some lessons.
I am also torn between going with a big tour group or going on my own. This will be my first visit. Do you all recommend a tour group or do you think it would be better to go on my own? Just as a side note, I have traveled to West Africa (Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Burkina Faso) on my own, so I am not afraid of a lil third world action!
