| Hurghada | Ferry Travel Posted: Sat January 26, 2008 06:05 AM UTC
First posting on here so hello to everyone!
We have bought an apartment in Hurghada which is being built and should be ready by December 2008. This is primarily an investment to rent out but we will hopefully find time to make use of the apartment ourselves. I have however noticed that flights into Sharm El-Sheikh seem to be significantly cheaper than flights into Hurghada. I therefore wondered if it would be cost effective to fly in and out of Sharm and get the 1.5hr ferry that runs between Sharm and Hurghada? Alternatively,does anyone have details of cheap flights from UK (manchester/liverpool)? Thanks in advance for any assistance offered. Kind regards Tom. |

| Hurghada | Looking for Airlines Posted: Tue January 15, 2008 03:48 AM UTC
Some friends of mine are having trouble locating flights to Hurghada. Ideally they would like to fly out of the U.S. west coast, however, it looks like they will plan on flying to a location in Europe then buying separate tickets for the flight to and from Hurghada. Does anyone know of a good website that lists flights to Hurghada or have any other suggestions?
Thanks |

| Hurghada | Fishing from shore Posted: Sat December 1, 2007 01:04 PM UTC
Hi!
We re going to El Gouna for Christmas. Is there any shore fishing in and around El Gouna/ Hurghada? Is fishing allowed in the marina? We have searched online, and all that seems to be on offer is deep sea fishing. Fly fishing would be ok, but where? Krzysztof |

| Hurghada | Aquarius Diving Center at Makadi Bay Posted: Mon July 30, 2007 03:18 PM UTC
We are going to the Makadi Palace for a week shortly and my daughter is planning scuba diving for 2 or 3 days then (has PADI AOW certificate and 15 dives). Rather than having to travel in to Hurgada each, we are considering diving with Aquarius (at the Royal Azur).
Has anybody any experience of them? Alternatively any other diving operation to recommend? |

| Hurghada | trip to cairo and the pyramids Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 06:46 PM UTC
Does anyone have a credible suggestion of a tour that they took (plane prefered) from Hurghada to Cairo to see the pyramids?
also any tip info. I am confused by this concept? how much Livre do you tip to each person who helps you - whats the average tip so we can make sure we get the accurate change.. like if we go scuba, do how much do we tip the person who takes us out compare to the people who take us on a tour to the pyramids. Thanks. nadine and does everyone usually get a bit sick tummy wise by the end? excited for Egypt nadine |

| Hurghada | walking district Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 09:15 PM UTC
i stayed in the mariot last year and visited what the rep called the walking district. took a taxi there then walked back after realizing it wasnt as far away as i was led to believe. i had a map but lost it. i would like to take my family on holiday to hurghada next year the beach was lovely but the pool at the hotel is not really suitable (far too deep)and the one at the spa too shallow but with sudden drop for dive training. does anyone know of a good hotel near the walking district that is suitable for a family of varying ages who love the pool and beach and shopping? also where is the walking district as i cant find out now im home? is it sakalla?
