this was 3 years ago and according to my ex
there's only one resort or "campus" that sell alcohol in Egypt |
|
By:
Sounds like you're better off staying at the Luxor in Vegas.
|
|
By:
so they dont have little bars like other holiday places ?
|
|
By:
no jimnast, it's not like that there, you're almost in the middle-east, it's not fun there
|
|
By:
when it comes to alcohol anyway

Suberb country long as you dont go to sharm el sheik which is just a concrete hellhole and as represenatative of egypt as say shortbread is of Scotland!
You can get booze all over but only certian hotels,your taxi driver WILL KNOW exactly where to go etc.Though in fairness it's not a drinking place really.There are of course no bars/clubs dotted about like you'd get in Spain or somewhere!Not really a country to go for for uk newspapers beer and net acces though you'd be better going to las americas imo. |

By:
bonviv its not the end of the world a change will do me good,i can certainly survive without newspapers.
|
|
By:
You can get em though Jim no doubt about it in Cairo,and same day as well as they come in from spain where they are printed same day etc.May even be able to get broadsheets,early eve though.

oh this is important, you must agree a deal before going on a camel or else once you get on the camel, the guy will not let you off the camel and will charge you a high price, and it's extremely difficult to get off a camel
the guy will not ask you for a price until you are on the camel |

was at Sharm Nov 08 and was surprised how much i enjoyed it. Did'nt see Uk newspapers but internest easily accesiable. Local lager is called Sakara & hotels are 5 star.

By:
punter i wont be going on any camels ,did it in lanzarote and was ashamed of myself the momnt i got on the poor animal.
|
|
By:
kenny what of our lagers would you compare sakhara with if any ?
|
|
By:
Only point of going to Egypt is to see the historical sites. A beach holiday at Sharm is at best pointless, loads of beach holidays at places with bars etc. At worst, some tourist WILL get blown up there sooner or later.

christ corky i wished i had not asked the question now.

Punter
