"Your web page looks generally well done, though some what lacking information. I do business in Egypt, and travel to Alexandria. I will be back
there this coming summer. I can find no information at all on your night clubs. Summer Moon in Alexandria is well known here in Florida
as being one of the world's best. Their laser show beats anything I have seen here includingWalt Disney. Please add information on Summer
Moon, along with pictures if possible.
Thanks for your time."

"My daughter is planning to travel Egypt Air to Cairo and on to
London. Can you send me a plan of Cairo Airport so that I can have an
understanding of the physical layout of the airport and whether it
will be possible for her to remain in contact with other members of
her party who would be returning to Singapore on the day she left for
London.
Alternatively, does Egypt Air provide a "security" service for persons
less than 18 years of age so that they are assisted or guided by
airline staff through the terminal and onto and off aircraft."

Dear Sir or Madam,
"I am a Canadian currently living in Japan. I have read the VISA
Application information provided at this web site. Am I correct in
saying that the VISA is free for Canadians? It says that Americans
must pay $15 but it doesn't say there is a charge for other
nationalities. Also, non-Americans must give a photocopy of a green
card. I don't have a green card. What do I have to provide? Can you
also give me the addresses of the Egyptian Consulates in Japan? I
will apply for my VISA through one of them."

Thank you for your assistance.

"I am preparing a project for my students in October and I am looking
for information about the city of Thebes. My class will be looking at
how big the city was, what kind of housing the people had etc. In
other words they will be looking at how ordinary people lived there
during the height of her power. It is proving difficult to find such
material, which is not specific to the whole of Egypt. Any help you
could give me would be very appreciated."
Cheers,
Saviour Pirotta
