COMMUNICATIONS

Both the Mercure and Mena House hotels have a business center and internet access in the rooms. The cruise ships also have internet access. There are some Internet cafes available in Luxor and Aswan. International telephone calls from Egypt are easy to make, and can be dialed directly from our hotel rooms. They are much more expensive from Egypt than from the States, depending upon your international plan.

You can also call the US, let the phone ring twice, then have your party call you back at a fraction of the cost (or pre-arrange your own “code”). We recommend that you get an international calling card from a reputable phone company that has an access number in Cairo, such as ATT or MCI.
