I can suggest you the agent I got my flight to cairo...
$315 for 5 days. price including round trip ticket + 5 star hotel (The Sofitel) + tour guide to the pyramids and the bazzar
The agent is an arab, and the only reason I got that offer cause I spoke arabic with him, so if you are interested let me know, I could go with you.
The office is in Taksim

The office is in Taksim Is that seriously $315 USD for all five days, including airfare and hotel? Or is that the rate per day? Heck, sounds better than Greece for the border run and probably about the same price! Is this a Bayram-only deal, or is it ongoing? Color me interested! Kate

Kate, its ongoing. To be honest, bayram may be a bit higher than quoted. What BenBen quoted was the normal rate. I've had lots of Turkish friends take this offer. And YES, its for the whole 5 days, NOT a daily rate

This sounds like a great surprise for her three-week vacation. Yippee! Good thing for us that hubby also speaks Arabic. I'm so lucky! Time to start batting eyelashes.  Kate

Indeed....very good!  Sofitel Maadi isn't really 5 star though and you'll be in the 'burbs - but who cares at that price! Fabulous!!!! Enjoy! (Take your jumpers!)
