        The Trip Planner is a tool to customize your Egypt vacation and share your route.

        Getting Started

        To add attractions to the trip planner click the "add" button to include an attraction in your itinerary. You can add as many as you want and remove them while you browse.

        Organize

        Once you've added several attractions, you can customize your itinerary by clicking on the "organize" button in the Trip Planner sidebar.
        The Trip Planner automatically opens and organises all the attractions based on the cities they are located in and shows the distance between two or more cities.
        Click on the city tabs to see your city route. Attractions located in the city are automatically arranged and displayed on the map based on the shortest distance between attractions.

        Customize

        1. Choose a city to see the attractions located in it.
        2. Attractions can be dragged to rearrange the order in which they appear within the same day.
        3. You can edit attractions by clicking on the edit button. Editing allows you to move the attraction to another day and change the duration of your stay.
        4. You can also add new attractions at the bottom of the Trip Planner city page. New attractions are automatically arranged based on the shortest route on a new day.

        Sharing & Claiming

        You can share routes by clicking on any of the social media networks.
        Any shared route can be customized by copying the route and editing it after logging in through your Facebook or ETA account.
