I have an amazing fictionalised account of her life, called Child of the Morning. It is just amazing, very powerful and poignant. Makes me cry every time. And it so evokes Egypt. And yes, I'd love to see ALL those places you list.
How do you mean, definitely get sick on a Nile trip? Do you mean tummy wise?
Tourists dragged off a coach and shot? How casually you mention it - you must have nerves of steel, Epona!

Yes, dodgy tummy - they're notorious, all those people on a boat with limited clean water for food preparation and hygeine and on the Nile with mosquitos everywhere - I'm not kidding when I say everyone gets sick!
I wasn't brave at all, I nearly pissed myself on more than one occassion - I'll elucidate if you're interested!!!
Hatshepsut's temple is great - looks like a 1960s concrete car park [img]tongue.gif[/img] and only 1 image survived the 'damnatio memoriae' which followed her death
