6 times!  Certainly could have done with some of your advice then Phil!

Overall I enjoyed it - Accomodation and weather top notch, the locals and Egyptian people in general were out to fleece you though

Christ, I never thought it would be this bloody warm in Egypt!  Roasted the ti.ts off myself on the first day and I've had to spend yesterday and today in the shade - luckily my hotel has a reasonably priced internet cafe and plenty of bars.

Very impressed with the place overall though.  Food and drink is reasonably priced and all the staff at the place I'm staying are excellent.  Not much to see really in Hurghada though and the whole having to tip staff for everything is a bit tedious- you wonder whether they expect a tip just for smiling at you

I'm happy enough though, 2 hours ahead here, so you can just sit and have a few beers watching the world cup on the big screen at 8 and then 10 o'clock at night- what more do you want?

Very nice to hear that you had fun john, i've went to egypt, but went to cairo and went down the nile on a 3 day cruise.

Yes the Camel men are crazy, but as a fellow arab i tend to make them my friends! 

rah'lee, wulahi lazeem tal'arta halass (it takes time to pronounce it correctly)

Comon Judge, its not that hard! 

Btihke arabi mneeh ya judge? 

[metalhead]

you must be hard and tell them what you will pay, if they dont like it then move on. you will see the price come down - trust me on this one fella

Very true! I bought a model of a sphinx for about 5 gineh.

it costs 20 gineh, so it took me 1 minute to negotiate, bloody hell the salesman was desperate for money, so i told him i would buy it for 5 gineh, so he accepted
