Overheard in a changing room.
This isn't stupidity in the sense factual ignorance, but stupidity in the sense of, "EH?"

I was in the changing room of the gym, and overheard a tanned-to-the-point-of-crackling bloke telling another about the holiday from which he'd just returned. I gleaned that it had been in Egypt, and he'd never been before.
"It was fantastic," he said. "Everything was laid on - food, drinks, everything. We didn't have to leave the hotel complex once in the whole two weeks. Fantastic."

He followed it with a statement about how he was thinking of going to Mexico next.
It was all I could do not to go and shout obscenities in his face.

Depends where in Egypt
Could be one of the beach resorts on the Sharm-el-Sheik side, just spent a week windsurfing in one of them, the only times we left the hotel were to get cheaper water from the shops in the town, and a 2 hour drive to mount Sinai to watch the sunrise from the top (I recommend doing it, I do not recommend jumping on a windsurfing board as soon as you get back, especially if you have a history of back problems and spent the minibus journey back in the most uncomfortable sleeping position possible)

EDIT: Just to not look like a complete philistine, I have been to Luxor, and seen as much as possible of the places around there (all well worth a visit, though memory fades as to any specifics at the moment), and really want to go back, and to see the pyramids etc. around Cairo
