Off to Sharm el Shiekh two weeks today anyone been? Is it any good?

Been to Hurghada and that was a bit of a sh!thole and our Eastern block friends leave a lot to be desired 

Hotel is not in Naama Bay 15 mins by taxi, looking forward to it and not cause I know I'll get Pharoh's revenge on the first day 

[Judge]

are you in sharks bay then?

you must make sure your hotel is a minimum of 4stars. the all inclusive deals are the best around in egypt. take plenty of imodium plus. never drink the local water, only bottled.

safe foods are pizza and chips, as they are cooked to a high temperature.

beware of the fresh fruit and veg as they are washed in local tap water, and if you have a sensitive stomach then you will surely get the pharoahs revenge

In naarma bay, there are a few good places to drink - the english bar (it has a mod brit cirlce outside it), ask any local they will direct you cigs. Hard rock cafe is excellent and across the road you can sit in one of the open cafe, and have a nibble and if you buy beer you can have a FREE smoke of the the sheesha for as long as you stay there drinking, otherwise it will cost you. Local stella is a good brew to sup.

always agree prices for anything you buy, and walk away if you dont want owt. they will always tell you its egyptian price, but thats just bollox. pay what you feel comfortable with.

There are always loads of germans, russian and polish in sharm, some italians this time of year.

mind you we had an excellent time last september. but if you can deal with the hassle then you'll be okay.
Also if your taking the other half, those cheeky Fu*king arabs will ask you out as theyve no respect for anyones partner - tell them to fu'ck off (or you could say in arabic - imshee (which means get lost)). but if your polite then say LA'h (means NO). then tell them you are happy with who you got and if they continue tell them you'll grass them to the management of the hotel. they are cheeky fu'ckers.
One who befriended me went and asked my missus behind my back - she told me, so i went and told him. he denied it, so i told him that he would get a smack if he lied to me again, and i would tell the hotel. it never happened again, plus he stopped asking all the other women also.

The best hotels in naarma are sofitel, hyatt regency, hilton and an excellent one called sunset gardens, but there lots of good ones in sharks bay.
which hotel are you going to cigs??

exchange rate is 8 english pounds to 1 egyptian. so its good now. was 10 when i was there.

remember this though - cotton from egypt is amongst the best quality in the world. so worth a buy. only if your into that.

if you want some local lingo to speak, other than what i have mentioned, then just ask cigs - ok

hope that helps. have a nice time   x

[Ciggy]

Thanx for the info Judge, BTW I can handle any shifty characters ecspecially on holiday been to enough places to tell them to p!ss raaaaar off.

This is the hotel we are staying in even though its 5 stars it is probably only 3 in Egyptian standards

Youll have a boss time dont worry

[Ciggy]

Well what can I say, highlight of the holiday was the fish snorkeling and so on.
Seen manta Rays, octopus, moray eels, clown fish, sharks, a grouper bigger than me, Napolean Bass again bigger than me, parrot fish it really was amazing will post the pics from the under water camera when I get them developed.

Hotel fab but huge didnt get around it in the week far to big and by 6.30 in the evening it took about 15 minutes walk to get back to the room.

We went to Jamaica once on a cheap all inclusive (stayed in like a Butlins kind of thing, it was utter b0ll0cks) and I had a go at that snorkelling. It was a bit of an experience as I can't really swim, but despite the water being really blue and gin clear, there wasn't any fish in it, at all. I was expecting to be giving it the old Jacques Cousteau, but instead the whole party were reduced to scanning the rocks for Sticklebacks. It was extremely disappointing, bit like the whole holiday really. They advised us to stay inside the "Hotel" grounds as it was extremely dangerous outside which was a bit OTT I thought, until this woman and her husband from our block went out and got mugged by a bloke with a Machete.

As I recall the Jamaica Patties that this gnarled old fella who wandered down the beach sold on a daily basis were pretty tasty. Him slipping under the radar of the partrolling security guards was something of a highlight of two forgettable weeks.

they are all the same over there cigs. as you say i did warn you, however, the problem is getting worse.

for some reason they think women go there just to see them. they really are so thick at times. makes my blood boil.

from what ive seen in the years ive been there, is that the problem is getting worse. hasselling and targeting english women even infront of their partners!! then when you confront them, they Fu*king deny it and claim that they never meant anything by it - Fu*king scum they are.

i blame all the old age widowed women and the young tarts that holiday there by themselves and give english women a bad reputation. Oh and if you complain to the police, half the time they are at it aswell!!

however, its hard not to like the country, despite the select people there. egypt does have alot to offer, but sadly the much of the locals spoil that

[bigmick]

They've been repeating that "Rick Stein does the Mediterranean" thing over here, and as soon as I get back home I'm really going to start visiting Spain, Portugal, Greece and all those places. Not the holiday bits with the UJ shorts brigade, off the beaten track and sample the local way of life. Can't wait to get me teeth into all of that, Scotland and Ireland as well. There's some fecking lovely places if you look, feck all that going miles and miles away. I've had me fill of all that old b0ll0cks.

[GRAHAM01]

not been there myself but sounds like i would get in to trouble on the first day

i went to turkey a liitle while ago and although they do ask you , YOU COME IN SHOP or YOU DO/LIKE THIS  they are not that bad and i really liked it there and would love to go back again

i did diving over there and there was loads of different fish all shapes and sizes, it was the first time i had ever gone it was great i have some pics of me with fish all around me

top notch place

[Ciggy]

My fella kept taking the p!ss calling me Jacques Cousteau

It was 50 metres deep here    seen a puffer fish, 2 lion fish, angel fish it really is just amazing, scary as feck though when you look down the wall to the bottom of the sea.

Them feckers threw bread it and all the fish swarmed around me I sh!t meself.
