I do not advise. Mirok on a visit. and for - antipodes,
1) you can suffer a lot from the indigenous aborigines, 2) get into the police by violating something (a fire, an illegal enterprise, for example, do not equal the Bedouins, there is nothing to take from them) or just like that, 3) for a ticket (for example .) you have to work for five years, 4) a moped there (a chic item), it’s better to rent it, you don’t need a license, but it’s smarter not to take or buy at all, 5) only lizards can roam Egypt on foot, 6) for trying to export a piece dead. coral. or a shell - a fine of 1000 c.u.

agree with the above. night in the desert is not day, and anything can happen.
I rented a car from a friend of the guide - I traveled the day myself with a girl back and forth, I liked everything very much. We found a small beach where the advertising"bounty " was filmed. We found an abandoned pioneer camp, which was bought by some Saudi black-black Arab. Very cute. He made us coffee, gave us fishing rods, we fished. I invited him to live as a savage in thatched huts for 5 bucks a day. That would be semi-savage. I even thought about it. But without a girl. His camp is somewhere in the area of ​​​​the Czech castle-restaurant in Taba. In addition, you need to know at least a little Ingish and / or Arabic. They will never accept you for theirs / theirs anyway. And to offend / deceive the wrong / infidel is an honor for them.

)) There is just something to take from the Bedouins, but no one will do this. You can grow very much in the eyes of Allah by offending a pale-faced brother, why touch your own? As for earning extra money, I doubt it very much, it’s difficult in Egi with earnings, well, only if you get a job as a guide, but what kind of "homeless ")), and you need to know languages.
As for riding a moped, I wouldn't risk it. A dangerous form of transport, and even with Egyptian traffic rules. Two years ago, our newlywed neighbors went to a wedding in Hurghada, on the second day they rented a moped and did not miss the tourist bus. I don’t think that they got such pleasure from riding in Egypt that their parents later got, who sought for several weeks the repatriation of the bodies to Ukraine. Do not think that I am scaring you, everyone has their own destiny, but why look for extreme sports where there is already enough of it?
аватар Amorr
It is clear with a Moped (in principle, this type of service and with such a share of "extreme" is in many places. It is not clear with a fire, you can collect chips and organize a fire on the beach in the corner, by the way, in the rooms you can use a boiler (mini in a mug) to use, and has anyone else seen street artists, singers?
аватар underwaterlove
Bedouins should have firewood worth its weight in gold or hashish. they have long looked after and numbered all the bushes as potential firewood. I don't think that they will be very happy when some pale-faced bastard burns everything in a big way at one time :) firewood will have to be bought at gas stations in Kyiv. :)
there are street singers in more or less large settlements.
аватар DREAMS
This is a tough world, and behind the wall of the hotel it is so tough that you don’t even suspect. You will graze camels in the SINAI and IF BEDOUINS HAVE WIPED LAMB ON YOUR HEAD THEN KNOW - YOU ARE STILL ALIVE.

I would not risk it. In general, I agree with all the previous advice, the only thing that concerns shells and dead corals :) shells and corals were brought from Egypt more than once.
аватар Alla__
What need made you homeless in Yegit??? I don’t advise ... and convincingly ... A tough country, and we are really natives for them .. moreover, they hate them madly !!! For den_sonya - you are very lucky!!!! serious thing .. export of their beloved representatives of fauna and flora
аватар underwaterlove
DREAMS - you are 100% right. I agree. Holy innocence.
den_sonya - you're lucky you didn't get caught. The guides themselves offered us to carry our shells for 10 bucks behind the frontier post. We just put them in pots of flowers - you never know for a set-up ... for a piece of bucks.
Alla__ - sunshine, what is your hair color? Who are the natives? well, how about for you? :)
аватар olena-rv-ua
den_sonya, lucky ... You can fly into a solid fine, the precedents have repeatedly observed personally at the airport)))
аватар Alla__
I answer... underwaterlove - I'm not a blonde Read my text carefully. For the Arabs, we are incomprehensible people. And they are quite aggressive in their souls, they just hide it. Therefore, being under the patronage of the hotel, the tour company, you are more protected .. rather than just wandering around the country.

Amorr- Well, don't be so naive, Egypt is a Muslim country that lives according to the Karan, somewhere in the 13th century. More or less a European can feel safe in closed rooms. from the local population of resort areas. Everything else is as crazy as walking around Afghanistan or Iraq. Yes, and you can fly in, as well as fly away, only on a charter, but you yourself can’t buy a ticket, no one will sell it to you. By the way, what are you going to draw, for the image of people, or animals, a scribe, in short, study the country first.
аватар Amorr
Let's just say -90% of the countries open for recreation are Muslim, starting with the same Turkey, the second thing you haven't met Muslims on vacation? Well, let's say the Russians from Kazan and other "Muslim" regions of Russia? Have a different attitude towards them? -the same landscapes, flowers, architecture, but as I understand it, no one can take these works out, so they won’t buy them either. In general, of course, I don’t know anything about Egypt in terms of a "wild" visit, but thanks to you all, clarity appeared, thanks for saving me from fatal steps :)
аватар Nastashka
Amorr I have never heard a wilder idea (I apologize for such obvious rudeness). Comparing the local population of the Arabian half and Africa with the CIVILIZED MUSLIMS OF RUSSIA is just as not correct as windu oink with a calculator.
You can hitchhike and savage around Europe and America, a little bit in Australia. Asia, Africa and South America are not genetically disposed to this. These are cultural traditions and attitudes towards"dark Gentiles " and so on. Only 3 people returned from such an excursion as you described: the equilibris team :) because they are well insured and they were guarded by foreign insurance agents;)
аватар Amorr
You did not understand a little about Muslims, almost every post slips the phrase"offend the wrong " But the Muslims of Russia, one faith with the Muslims of Egypt, so they are not in danger?
аватар Liiz
I agree with everyone who called this idea wild. Why are you so extreme? You do not want to be stolen, taken out somewhere, then to stay forever in a distant African country to weave "baubles " for sale (at best). The first thing I noticed in Egypt was the armed guards along the entire perimeter of the hotel. And in every sightseeing bus or jeep there is also a guy with a machine gun. Who do you think we, tourists, were protected from? From steppe Kazan camels?
аватар Amorr
Again, it is not clear, many in the reports write how they take a taxi to the bazaars for fruit or water in a nearby city or for souvenirs, and in the evening they walk along the sea, and this is like that, not counting the extreme. Or did I mess something up?
аватар underwaterlove
Amorr - along the sea - it's not along the whole sea. This is only within the hotel fence on the beach 200-500-1000 meters. There are posts with protection from local Bedouins, builders, rapists, etc. :) in the course of your thoughts and the naivety of your questions, it is clear that you know little about the country, so you personally should draw and sing better at home.
Alla__ - I read your text too carefully ... but you mine - well, not really. Do you know what Dahl's dictionary is? Open it and see the word Aboriginal. Then you can safely change the color. :)

Amorr - Muslims of Russia for offending an infidel (that is, a Russian) threatens to at least be beaten in a purely Russian way, maybe a period depending on the severity of what he has done, to which the bullpen must still live. And as a maximum of stripping with armored personnel carriers, helicopters, GRAD, etc. Remember Beslan, for example, and all the other undermined school buses, etc. Putin went the way of Israel, and well done. For one - a dozen, for a dozen - a village. And now no one raises his nose. They are scared! Do not confuse cutlets with flies. And in Egypt, a terrorist who blew up a bus with you will be a national hero (especially if he himself dies in the process), and will receive such a reward from the Mujahideen that he will not have to work for the rest of his life.
If you still want to go and live there as a savage, you'd better choose any other non-Muslim country, so as not to make yourself a potential load of 200. Watch the movie "9th Company". And do not think that in Egypt there are some not so Muslims.
They are always very smiling, but - they are not smiling at you, but at your money.
And you, apparently, were not in Egypt ....

I’ll say more - I just don’t know anything about the country, but this section was created for this, and since with civilized recreation everything is more or less clear, a lot of experience has been accumulated and there are answers to all questions, it is appropriate to probe the parallel world.
аватар Amorr
The question about Muslims, again, is not understood, I asked how the Muslims of Egypt relate to their fellow believers, the Muslims of Russia and Ukraine, who are also many among the total number of vacationers.
... I wrote a little higher that I recognize my idea as absurd, because I really didn’t know anything, but the topic is interesting for its nuances. You understand that there is nothing absolute and there are a lot of people, and even more so now - extreme sports lovers who can’t do this like a go-ahead flag .
аватар underwaterlove
Amorr, you shouldn't probe the parallel world personally, especially if you have children, family...
We won't even have time to read your savage trip reports. The hotel will not let you on the Internet. It's not in the post office. You will hardly return to Ukraine alive. Look"Ninth Company " and then just buy a civilized holiday. I myself heard on October 6-7 how the Yodans fired in front of Taba with cannons and machine guns.
Do you know why?:) The Israelis had holidays, in my opinion it should have been Judgment Day and the New Year. The Arabs just teased so that the Israelis would not relax. A couple of warships left Eilat by sea just in case .... And I suddenly really wanted to go home to my native autumn mud and constant traffic jams :)

Amorr - DO NOT! (bang [gun]) :)

By the way, just a report received, writes your mother resting herself with a 5-year-old child "My new friend from St. Petersburg, a mother of two children, offered to take a walk around the city after dinner. We wandered along the dry sand along the highway, looked into local shops, asked the price, bargained, chatted and enjoyed an extraordinary evening.By the way, there were plenty of such lovers.Already returning to the hotel, we met a lonely Bedouin with a camel.
.."campaign gentlemen, you divorced me;)
аватар olena-rv-ua
Yes, we divorced you. "Walking around the CITY after dinner " - this is "become homeless and earn some money, build a fire on the beach and fry the fish "? It turns out that my dear colleagues and I simply did not understand the question)))
аватар Amorr
Stumbling along the highways in the evenings, and poking around the bazaars ... just a different verbal form, but the content is the same ... by the way, if I understand correctly
"underwaterlove " slavery awaits me right outside the perimeter of the base (and even if they don't immediately shoot me in a perverted form) how lucky these ladies are to stay alive in their evening promenade 8(
аватар underwaterlove
Well, why do you exaggerate like that?
they do not need artists and singers in slavery.
By the way, I didn't talk about slavery. I talked about possible problems outside the perimeter of the base. which? - this is a question for the Arabs. I definitely don’t want to cross paths with them at night, it’s unclear where without Uzzy or at least PM.
slavery could shine for you in Afghanistan, or Chechnya,
if you have someone to pay a ransom.
now, if we were a pretty tall blonde ... walking along the highway at night ... well, we wouldn’t take a long walk.
Do you know that waiter boys and receptionists get 365-400 pounds per month of work, + food and lodging for the night on a bed in a barrack? They save money for school/wedding etc. And then they see how a new Russian (not you and not me) arrives and fattens, drinks, scatters bucks, and his wallet is full, and he also sends them with obscenities back and forth. How do you think this boy feels? You yourself understood everything.

Do you want to make everyone laugh? Being in Egypt for the first time, I decided to visit a Coptic Christian church on my own. naive, I thought that I would explain to the taxi driver - and it's done. as a result, from Hurghada, he took me to the desert km. for 30, at least (on the way, assuring that he was definitely lucky for his intended purpose). brought to the temple with a cross, but a slightly different denomination, as I understand it, similar to our Armenian church. he asked for a lot, I gave something about half of that amount, sent him and went to the temple - well, it was not in vain that I had already arrived, realizing that he would leave, and I would be left alone - the track was 2 km away, some village nearby. Their priest opened the temple for me - it was closed, the priest is very wonderful, however, we did not find a common language; I was not even upset that I didn’t get to the Coptic temple, but I had to walk on foot to the highway and to Hurghada.
Well, with God's help, - I reached the police post at the highway, walked silently, braked the minibus, offered - I don't remember, either 5 or 10 dollars and safely reached Hurghada. But there was no more desire for this - where to go there herself - did not arise. I don’t know, maybe my appearance scared them, I have a height of 185, an athletic build; but I will not advise anyone to repeat it - life threatening!
аватар underwaterlove
asd - but what an experience... with your physique, you are still able to post on the forums...
around any church there is a blank wall of the fortress with this church inside. why? but the wall preserved the fortress and the church ...
