== Hospitality ==
Goodluck Good luck and have fun. The people in Egypt are some of the most welcoming and interesting people in the world. Try to relax. There is no such thing as being in a hurry here. Don't be surprised if the driver stops to have tea. The rule of thumb for Egyptians is that [[hospitality ]] is more important than all other obligations. If someone is treating you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, just let it go. Unless you are a [[woman]], they are not hitting on you. The people are just very touchy feely.
== Safety ==
== Border crossing ==
=== To [[Israel]] ===
Hitchiking Hitchhiking can work out fine if you hitchike hitchhike from [[Sharem Al Sheiqh]] direction, but not many private cars arrive at [[Taba]] (the border crossing) nonthelessnonetheless. If you arrive by bus, than the bus will take you to Taba bus station, and than the conductor might demand 5 LE (a person!) to bring you 600 m meter forward to the border crossing. Unless you are very tired, it's better to walk to the border and get yourself a nice can of beer for the same price.
From the Israeli side, either hitchike 150 m after the border crossing (after the enormous parking lot), or take bus line 15 to [[Eilat]] main bus station, and hitchike north..
