It is on the main road from Hurghada towards Dahar. Apparently the one opposite family Abu Ashara is pots and soil and also along that road is a Metro supermarket opposite there down a side road is a place that sells plants. Good luck Read More

Hi Sally, Spinneys out at Senzo mall do long plastic plant containers and round plastic plant pots. There are several "garden centres" one of which is opposite family Abu Ashara down the side street. They do plants and soil. Good ... Read More
Uk tv channels by johnnymalta
Is is possible to get the UK tv channels in Hurgharda via the dish on the roof of all these flats being built. Hope so and does it come with a cost or a problem.
I am not too up to date on this side of things but an English lady living here was using something via the internet connection to get all the uk channels on her tv here. Seemed to work just fine. Read More
Public Beaches by johnnymalta
Is the public beach opposite the Al Ahyaa area ie The Tibas really public and can anyone use it. A lot of people say you cannot, does any body have any pictures of it.
From the airport is always a little more cash than a normal journey of comparable length. Look for the blue and white taxis parked over the road from the arrivals exit. They are normally more reasonable and the drivers are a little more sedate! You ... Read More

Racism by Kamaa
It's sad to know that racism is here in Egypt,when one is of african origin walking in the streets in Cairo just out of nowhere you hear somebody calling you samara,shikaballah,kawarshy and zoul it's really irritating to hear this cause it's kind of ...
Very sad. Can you imagine if shop keepers in the UK charged you a different price, based on the colour of your skin or where you are from? It is an unfortunate fact of life in less enlightened societies. Read More

Hi John, I see that this one slipped through the net! In all honesty, most Europeans would not use and Egyptian public beach. They are generally not well kept, have poor or non existent sun loungers and facilities. Most people pay anything from 5le ... Read More
