We were a year ago, with my wife, the age is no longer a student, but still quite ... :-) $ 700 is enough. All inclusive - you will be full and drunk. Service - "5", food - "5", housing - "4". sea and climate are excellent. Don't be afraid of the heat - the wind is from the sea. Sun cream - mandatory - the strongest, wide-brimmed hats, for excursions - cotton shirts with long arms. You can buy local clothes - cool, comfortable, not expensive and a souvenir! It is cheaper to buy fins and a tube there - the same China. Buy - papyrus (Cairo), local spices and incense. Lots of fakes. Excursions - Luxor and Cairo (Giza). You can - extreme in the desert - if you have money. Diving?? - Mask, fins - no worse. Avoid shopping tours (IMHO). Stock up on water when traveling. There won't be much. Bargaining is NEEDED, otherwise they will be offended. In the hotel, baksheesh - in rare cases, and to the cleaner of the room ($1). On excursions - guide and driver - $2-5. It is better not to communicate with local Bedouins and not to ride camels. Have a good trip!

I advise you to definitely go on excursions to Luxor and Cairo, they are worth it, we went to Luxor by bus, we were absolutely not tired, we went to Cairo by air, but you can safely take a bus, the road is really longer than to Luxor. About gifts. Of course, it depends on who you will take them to. They took wonderful T-shirts with the inscription Egypt for their child and children of acquaintances (the quality is wonderful, the cost is about 4-5 USD for 1 piece), for adults - books about the beauties of the Red Sea (available in Russian) - 10-12 USD, for myself (still happy with the purchase) - wonderful beach towels, I would say bedspreads (they cover the entire sunbed with a margin, the quality is super, the cost is 8 USD - 1 pc.). What of the gifts I didn’t like was papyri (the quality is bad, but if you don’t want a lot of money and really want it, then you can), you didn’t successfully buy a women’s bag (the quality is terrible). How to trade? Actively, they love it, it's a kind of ritual.
Call the price several times lower than the one offered, I'm sure you will buy at a price slightly higher than what you offered, but much lower than what you offered. In general, I advise you to buy souvenirs at Hurghada airport before departure, the most optimal prices. Good luck and have a good rest.

hello! according to the habit of excursions: Paradise Island on the Red Sea SUPER, Luxor (tombs), Cairo, Alexandria joint tour WILL NOT REGRET! At the trade account, look carefully at things (onyx, leather, women's bags - a lot of fakes) do not take gold fake! cups, look at the light, if porcelain is translucent, take it! bargain calmly drop the price to the maximum within reasonable aisles! happy rest! write!

Hello. Be sure to take an excursion to the sea, the Red Sea is one of the most beautiful (this must be seen)!!! Be sure to drive ATVs into the desert (it’s BETTER TO TAKE A MOTO SAFARI where you drive the ATV yourself, and on a jeep safari they get into a jeep less extreme and are taken to a Bedouin village). And of course, Luxor there is still a more beautiful and richer program than in Cairo. SHOP EVERYWHERE!!!!! Except fixed price shops.

In July, Luxor is SOOOOO HOT !!! Think first 100 times. Not everyone can withstand such a walk. Cairo is also very hard to endure in July: high humidity, haze, hard to breathe. it is better to go on a motorcycle safari after lunch. In Alexandria, now 90% of Egyptians are resting. There are also crowds of Egyptians with the whole family everywhere :) - they won’t crowd the beach and the hotels are probably full. Souvenirs, gifts, cotton products can be found in Hurghada itself, on the main street there are a lot of shops for every taste and color. In hotels, as a rule, these same products are more expensive and at the same airport, prices are also an order of magnitude higher.

Good day. Sea trips are just what you need !!! You will get a lot of pleasure and dive, look at the fish and corals, and fish. Luxor Cairo is an amateur, as for me very tiring. I recommend going to the city itself, only the girl should dress more modestly, they (Egyptians) do not catch up with our minis and tops .Trade until you lose your momentum, don't be shy. You can buy cotton items, towels, T-shirts, and I also liked silver jewelry. Have a good trip and have a great holiday.

Hello. We are going to this hotel on July 2nd. In Egypt, not the first time, in this hotel - the second. As for excursions - Cairo - if you have never been - it's worth a visit, no more. nothing interesting. Safari - or take a moto (on ATVs to the village) or "White Sun of the Desert" (interesting). Boat trips are also available. Relatively inexpensive and interesting. $700 is enough for you, I even think it's a bit too much - there's nothing to spend it on. All these souvenirs can be bought in Kyiv for the same price. Standing - theirs towels - if you bargain, last year it was 5-6 USD. in the shops opposite the hotel, hookah - if you want to pull it out of there. Papyrus and porcelain must be able to choose. I advise you to visit the fish restaurant in Hurghada - you will not regret it. You can eat with your head for 20 USD. per person (lobsters, squids, delicious sea fish, shrimp, etc.). All in all, a good holiday. We will be there at that time too.

I really liked the excursion to Sharm el Naga. These are reserved places, 25.00 euros from 9.30 to 16.00. Awesome sea, and what reefs, fish right from the shore.
Were 20.06.-04.07.2010.

I was with a girl from 14.07.-21.07 visited super cairo and diving, and we were also given a motorcycle safari and 1000 and 1 nights as a gift, the rest was active because every day we went somewhere, of course diving is an unforgettable experience, take it you won’t regret it, they will teach you the full program on the spot, I also liked Cairo, of course it’s very dirty, but we were in the museum, sailed along the Nile and dined there at the same time, visited the pyramids of Cheops (father and son) of the Sphinx, then we were taken to a perfume shop, there I bought my girlfriend very cool perfumes called "Beloved", then to the shops and to the Turkish leather store, these were meaningless visits to these expensive 2 stores, as they cooperate with tour operators and probably bring us to the most expensive ones that are in Cairo, although the guide told us that there are the cheapest goods, DON'T BELIEVE ..
to bargain on the account, you have to be very active, I bought myself a hookah, I told the seller that I needed the best one, but I didn’t say how much I was counting on, he picked up the really best one that I had seen in my life, then he told me that he had collected $ 120, and I had $ 60 left in my pocket, bargained with him for 40 minutes, nevertheless I survived, and even my girlfriend was asked for three magnets)) and I advise you to ride a motorcycle safari. Good luck.
