Desert Driving
Although most of the places in this section can be reached by public transport or locally arranged excursions, a few of them entail real desert expeditions . The following advice should be borne in mind even if you're going to stick to main roads; for motorists considering more ambitious trips, it's only the bare outline of what you need to know. An easier option is to take an organized desert safari , though you should enquire well in advance, since they're often booked from abroad. Cairo-based firms include Albarai Desert Travel (16 Sharia Sherif Pasha; tel 393-5094), El Badawiya Safari (tel 345-8524), El-Tahawy Tops (15 Sharia Haroun, Dokki; tel 348-6782) and Siag Pyramids Hotel (59 Saqqara Road; tel 385-6022). El-Tahawy Tops also rents 4WD vehicles .
