THURSDAY THIRTEEN
13 Things about my holiday location Hurghada in Egypt at the Red sea
1. Hurghada is an artificial town not older than 20 years. It really started in the 90th.
2. Built in the dessert around a very little fisher village
3. all hotels are built like little villages surrounded by a wall. The entrance is everywhere like a check luggage point in an airport. Tourist police is everywhere and in every hotel. Egypt is one of the safest countries for tourists.
4. There are to 90 % only 5 * hotels. All are looking like oriental palaces.
5. There are many jeweleries, more than food shops
6. A big airconditionned shopping mall has everything a tourist heart can wish and to very cheap prices.
7. The main street is very large and looks like a Christmas decoration in the evening
8. You can visit and eat in the restaurants of the different hotels and also attend the shows.
9. There is nothing historical in this area
10. You can make quite a lot of excursions, a ride on a camel and watch the sunset in the dessert, join a submarine by boat and admire the coral riffs and colored fishes, or make an one day excursion to Luxor and visit all the temples and historical sites.
11. In our hotel is as everywhere a program to entertain the guests the whole day with gymnastic, watergym, waterpolo, belly dancing and a lot of other things.
12. The food is excellent everywhere in all hotels and you have a lot of choice. For a real good menu with drinks you can count around 7 euros ! It is cheaper than eating at home.
13. I just watch the belly dancing women, one had just her breasts jumping out of her bikini top and I have to stop I laugh too much !
The tourists, Ilona, Chantal and I

It sounds exotic. Was it created for tourists? What does it mean that it started in the 90th? Is any part of the Red Sea even remotely red? Or had it been?

ReplyDelete2005 I read some where that the 3 top cheap contries to tourist in were: Egypt, Paraguay & Philippines.
I've been to Paraguay and it really were that cheap - and we almost got to the Philippines. We've friends that gos there every winter and they confirmed that it were cheap, but they have started to raise their prices there too now.
That water looks so wonderful!
