So I have arrived in Egypt and after a pretty massive blowout I have managed to get tyres........but what a job.....
The hotel offered but as per usual price was over double (EP3000 - E413) what I could get in UK, then when I came up with money the tyres where not available anymore, basically trying to get commission by looking like they were doing work but not......
Tried Mohammed Anwar, for 5 days never answered his phone (it is Ramadan) then he promised to get back to me never did finally cost of tyres EP2200 E303
By this time I had found a great bloke in Luxor called Anton, his English is good. If you are facing the train station in Luxor, to the left is Cleopatra Street he will be moving very soon to Michelin Shop in that street. His number is +020123151256. He worked to get me the tyres and inner tubes sent from Cairo everything came to EP1650 - E227 including the fitting. He has all the contacts for motorbike and car tyres so give him a shout if you need replacements. Hope this helps any travelers.
