Hello, My partner and I are heading to Egypt very soon. I am hoping that someone might be able to advise on a few questions that we have. Once we arrive in Aswan, we are hoping to trek and camp for about a week learning about Bedouin culture. We would like to end up in Siwa. I am wondering of anyone on this blog might be able to recommend the best way of going about this. We are looking for suggestions as to who are -great guide, (someone who will not present a sanitized and Westernized version of local culture) -where to go, -Can we stay in Bedouin style tents. How do we go about arranging this? - possible issues to be avoided. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. Best, M.KIrshner
