Let me tell you a story, be very, very careful in Egypt especially if not accompanied. We went on a cruise to see the pyramids. Disembarked at Alexandria, a couple of hundred yards to the buses (they could have been very close, but) all the way being harassed by street sellers. On the buses, armed guards, they were with us all the time. Got to the pyramids, bus drops you off nearly a mile away, more beggars. You are dropped for one reason only, to make you pay for a "camel ride" up to the pyramids. Or you walk in the stifling heat. Yeah, inside the great pyramid, very claustrophobic, but more importantly if you can't stand the smell of stale urine don't go in. Came out the pyramid, buses outside. Why didn't they drop us off there? The same back, armed guards and beggars to get to the ship. Save your money and don't go.
Your story is exactly the same as what one of my co-workers has told me, practically word for word. She said she was constantly harrassed and it totally spoilt the whole experience. I could never afford it anyway to be honest. My holiday consist of 4 days at Butlins, Minehead.
