what ever you do don’t go up mount cionide (sp?) … the toilets you’ll have to use are vile!

Cool, I shall avoid this mount cionide (never herd of it anyways). I think I am in the middle of a desert so not sure theres much to do other than sea based stuff.

i’ve been to that shithole country, i nearly died out there. Save your mooney and go somewhere worthwhile like the dominican republic.
The pyramids are a fucking mess, theres litter everywhere and dirty camel owners that rob you.

Do not go to that place, if you like severe food poisoning and disentery….by all mean go

I am not going anywhere near the pyramids really. The food poisoning issue is a slight worry but its a 4 star hotel with a good reputation for food so I think it should be fine. Egypt was the cheapest place to go all inclusive with sun and its already cost too much so had nothing to play with.

I take it you went and got food poisoning then mate?

4 stars means nothing over there, i stayed at the mariot in the capital, got dihorrea from the food, food piosoning from the hotel food.
It don’t matter where you go in egypt, its ALL horrid, word of advice, dont carry money, the cunting shop/stall owners can’t smell it a mile off.

How much you paying for you holiday?

A grand as its the worst time of year to go sadly as its the school holidays but cant go any other time. Trip advisor is worth looking at if you dont want to just go with star ratings, I certainly wouldn’t rely on them. There are no shops or stall owners where I am going so there’s no worrys there. Will just have to hope I dont get a stomach upset, no ice and salad etc

haven’t they only just had a civil war there (or are still halfway through it?) all that said, its probably no worse than GR or ES the way things are going in these nations.

I guess a good rule of thumb is when you see a fuckload of angry blokes shouting Allah-u-Akhbar and chucking things at a similar number of such blokes its best to get the fuck out of the way very quickly, irrespective of who looks like they have the upper hand or is wearing some sort of uniform.

The same advice applies to many parts of Aylesbury and Slough.

there are no travel warnings or anything, there is stuff happening but no where near where I am going. Greece would have been more risky in all honesty.

Makadi Bay, Egypt – Google Maps

thats a map of the bay I will be in, no where near anything lol

something’s gone a bit strange with google maps as that came up with a UK map centred on Basildon :laugh_at:

if you put in

[*map]name of place, country[*/map]

it should show the map correctly

yeah just noticed, have sorted

that looks more like it. There was a riot this weekend but it was a bit strange as apparently the rioters may not have got challenged by undercover feds/thugs but local shopkeepers who were pissed off that the protests/dissent is stopping their business and frightening away tourists. its safer and nicer than Great Yarmouth at any rate.

is Great Yarmouth dodgy then? dont know anything about the area

Ive been to tunisia and morocco which are close I think.. I thought the food was fine, didn’t get ill at either. but did almost get abducted a few times by strange men 🙁 so don’t think I want to go back. other than that it was nice.

Egypt was wicked if you want to sit on a beach for 2 weeks, drink and eat at a bargain price with guaranteed sun its the place to be.
