Hi, I haven't seen a trip report yet for ABD in Egypt so am hoping it is a great trip - looks like it from the itinerary so I am thinking of booking the February 2014-

I think only one trip to Egypt has run since ABD announced the trip almost 2 years ago

I think that is right--and no trip reports from that as I recall! We are still booked for Dec 2013, and keeping our fingers crossed.

We were planning on doing this trip. When we called ABD a few days after thanksgiving they said they are in talks of pulling out of Egypt completely. I hope that doesn't happen though as I really want to see Egypt!

I hope this goes - we are thinking about the March trip.

Don't give up on Egypt! It's a fascinating place to tour. My view was through the Egyptian military (and that is a whole other conversation), but the history there is mind boggling.

When you DO go, see the Cairo museum (hall of Pharaohs, especially), Alexandria is awesome, and when you go to the pyramids, be sure to negotiate your transportation to the pyramids proper by camel ROUNDTRIP! You don't want to get all the way out there to find it is one-way ... And it WILL be.

Also, the high-pressure sales are much less tiresome if they think you're Australian! I'm from Maryland, but they didn't know the difference when I told them I was an Aussie ... they left me for more lucrative American targets!

Well Disney hasn't pulled out of Egypt yet! They just added the following dates:

Jun 8, 2014 - Jun 17, 2014
Oct 12, 2014 - Oct 21, 2014
Dec 21, 2014 - Dec 30, 2014
Mar 22, 2015 - Mar 31, 2015
Apr 12, 2015 - Apr 21, 2015

We booked December 2014, and we'll keep our fingers crossed it will be safe to travel then.

They are offering less dates now. I also hope they don't pull out completely as we booked this adventure twice with ABD and canceled twice as well.

We have to wait until August to see what we are doing next year. If our Brazil plans don't work out, we are considering the Egypt March 2014 ABD, if still available.

Fingers crossed for you!!

We just booked for the March 2014 trip! So far it's just my family of 4, so hopefully a few others sign up so they don't cancel. (But not too many - I like the idea of a small group trip

)
