On Saturday in Luxor I paid 135 EGP for an "air-conditioned" minibus (the AC sucked...it was cooler outside...yup 110 degrees was cooler), a tour guide, and admission fees to 3 sites. I also paid 130 EGP for 2 rolls (36 exposures each) of Kodak 400 speed color film at the Valley of the Kings. The vendor started our negotiation by asking for 500 EGP for the 2 rolls. That's about $100 USD for 2 rolls of film. Because I "was such a hard man," the vendor sold them to me for 130 EGP. On Friday at Karnak Temple I paid 30 EGP per roll. Film here seems to be hard to find for less than about $3-5 USD per roll. In Zamalek the Kodak store hasn't always stocked it. But I can count on finding it at tourist destinations, at ridiculous prices.
So feel free to "donate" a nice digital camera!
