Good Points

The whole holiday is brilliant a must for everyone. Very good value.


Bad Points

The continual harrassment by traders. However they are in competition with each other, so he who shouts the loudest. You must tip for everything, advice, photos, even toilet paper at public toilets, however this is how they supplement their income.


General Comments

We did the Nile cruise followed by a week at the Three Corners El Gouna.
Miss Sara is lovely! Cabins are snug, but you don't spend much time in them (take some extra hangers and a hairdryer). They are always cleaning, put down a cup and it disappears. All inclusive is just that, and plenty of it.
Service excellent. Food - something for everyone and quality superb. Try everything, no fear of eating salads etc... Inspector came onboard to test whilst we were there.
Clothes - Wear what you like, if they are skimpy expect some extra attention from the traders. Cover shoulders and knees for church visits.
Watch the sun - 50C in August, 15min = 2-3 hours in Spain.
Do not tip the children as they will not attend school if they can earn a living in this way, give sweets or biros. Don't give traders your name or hold anything that they hand you, unless you want to buy, they are difficult to put off if you do. Never give the asking price, start at a price less than you wish to pay (around -50 to 75% of the original), and haggle. If they are not happy they will let you leave without comment, if you are close they will keep haggling - happy shopping.
If you only go on one holiday during a lifetime, this must be it, fantastic!!
