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

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)

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
