Hi i wanted to make sure you know that upper egypt is NO where near the delta. it is in the opposite direction past giza south and west and then below 15th of May.... upper is southern egypt and no one should go there alone unless it is to luxor and aswan and then I would still say take someone with you that speak colliquial arabic...

learning in a college or classes is not going to teach you except how to speak proper arabic and everyone will understand you but you will understand no one @ beginner of post.
