Some people say that the sights are too crowded to enjoy and that I'd be better off watching a video..what do you think?

I have not heard that at all. I didn't think that Egypt would be so crowded.
No matter how crowded something is, I think it's always better to be there in person than to see a video, anyway. It's all about the experience of witnessing something for yourself.

I haven't heard that either. I think no matter the crowd size, that some places are worth it, though.

Yes... if someone isn't able to see a world destination, then I think videos of the place are a great thing. If there's any way to see something in person, though, that's definitely the best way. Just can't capture the full ambiance on a video. |

I would definently take the crowds to be able to see the things in person. Maybe going in the more off season would help with the crowds.

I'm a big advocate of traveling off-season. Not for the crowds either... many places offer lower priced accomodations for off-season, too. |

You're are so right that it is so much cheaper in just about everything when it is off season. The only downside I have found is some things might not be open during the off season.

I love to travel off season, the prices alone can be what is worth it. Then you couple that with the fact of less tourists and it almost always makes for a great trip.

I think it would be worth putting up with all the crowds. It is something you might never have a chance to go again. So I would put up with all the people.

Yes... there *is* a problem with this when a certain place doesn't actually have an off-season. Some Caribbean destinations and some in sunny parts of Europe come to mind... but then often they have rainy seasons, so that could be a problem, too. |

To be honest I would rather put up with the crowds over the rain. I am not a person that cares for the way I feel when I am drenched.

I am the same way when it comes to the rain. I have went places and ended up getting rained out the whole tiime I was there. Which is no fun at all.

I am not a crowd person, I prefer to not be in big huge congested crowds of people when I am trying to enjoy myself. For that matter anytime. I think faced with a choice between rain or crowds I would have to pick rain.
