The YMCA Day-Camp : Accommodations & Camping
The YMCA Day-Camp, on Al-Karnak St. (tel. 38 24 25) 180m north of the service taxi station, offers a flat, grassy area for tents and caravans. During the summer the grounds are noisy with Egyptians partying until midnight or later (about which time the front gates close), and the litter level is a bit high. You can use the somewhat smelly but hot shower and toilets, and the enclosed camp is guarded 24 hrs. (LE3 per person, LEI.50 for motorcycles, LE5 for cars, LE25 for caravans.) The Rezeiky Camp and Motel (tel. 58 13 34, fax 38 34 47), just before Karnak Temple on Al-Karnak St., has a swimming pool with a Club Med-esque outdoor deck and bar, and a wide variety of rooms ranging from LE10 to LE25 per person (triples with fans LE5 for Let’s Go users), and campgrounds (LE10 per tent).
