Has anyone ever been to Egypt if you have...?

February will be on the cool side, but probably fairly warm during the day (perhaps 60s to 70s Fahrenheit).

The people are generally great. If you don't clearly have a husband with you, young boys in Cairo have a tendency to dare each other to grab you and then run away, but otherwise you don't generally get hassled.

If you are only going to stay around Cairo, you should see the Egyptian Museum, the pyramids at Giza, and the Step Pyramid at Saqqara (there are a bunch of other tombs at Saqqara for you to see too, if you're really into it).

Also, you might want to see some of the older parts of Cairo from the Middle Ages, and shopping in the Khan il-Khalili is a necessity. You can get nice carpets, jewelry, clothing, as well chincy souvenirs. Just make sure you know a bit about what you are buying and always, always bargain. If they don't want to sell at the price you want, start to walk away and 95% of the time the price suddenly drops -- this works for taxis too, as long as you negotiate before you get in.

If you want to see more areas, there are tons of monuments around Luxor, and it will be a little warmer there than in Cairo. Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, and the Valley of the Kings are the most popular tourist sites there. The people in Luxor have very little business other than tourism, so they are prone to hassle you more to try to sell you goods or rides in their boat or horse-drawn carriage (please don't take one of these unless you can tell that the horse is treated well).

I spent months in a more rural part of Egypt and liked all of the people there. They were all friendly and wanted to practice the small amount of English they knew. I knew about as much Arabic as they did English, but we managed to communicate somehow. The people in tourist areas will generally speak multiple languages, so language is not an issue in those places.

I hope you enjoy your trip. Post again if you have any more questions. I'd be happy to help.

The weather in the early spring in Egypt is wonderful it will still be warm in the day time and cool at night. Egypt is an amazing place to visit, go on horseback to the Pyramids, go to the museum in Cairo, (I actually saw the mummy of the Pharaoh from the time of Moses.) Take a Nile cruise. The people are friendly, it is very safe and the food is incredible. I don't think there are any holidays at that time but Egypt is great at any time of the year.
