Shake it all about...........take some anti bacterial hand lotion and use it after handling........their currency ,its filthy and the cause of most of the stomach problems......not an urban myth either.......otherwise have a good time
It's great, went in September. Who you going with? We went with Thomson... did a Stars and Dinner evening in the desert, quad biking and camel riding and a 'VIP' cruise, all well worth it. Quad biking was too slow though, wanted to put the foot down so maybe book that away from the travel companies as they're probably too safety conscious! It's very good, nightlife is expensive though so make the most of all inclusive drinks (assuming you have them) before you go out! If you go on trips, tip about 20 Egyptian pounds to guides/drivers which is like £2.50. All about bartering over there too... taxi for about 15 mins should only be 30 Egyptian pounds or something but they ask for more at first. Taxis are cheap though, better than paying for transfers and you get there quicker. All in all though, barely a bad word to be said, I'd go back in a shot. Have fun! Anything else?
