Wilts#Dave Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I stayed at another hotel in Hurghada last November, Jasmine Palace if that’s any help?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minky Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 We docked into Hurgada and had an afternoon walk about. It was a S hole of a place and we were harassed to buy stuff pretty mercilessly. You'd have to stay in the hotel compound and facilities or be brave and have the skin of a rhino. Don't know anything about the hotels there. We went out on a glass bottom boat trip and the sea was a mass of jelly fish. Millions of them. No sea swimming there with the sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogone Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Having lived and worked in Egypt my advise is:be careful. DO NOT get involved with random people in any way. Keep walking and do not engage. If you are familiar with the phrase “I’ve been gypped” I believe it originated in Egypt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Might be a good idea to avoid that region, unless you like firework displays. Stick to Turkey, you know that well.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted January 29 Author Report Share Posted January 29 I am returning to Egypt (Soma Bay Hurghada) twice again this year. It will be our 14th visit to the same hotel.(Palm Royale Resort) We have ventured into Hurghada Marina and were not pestered or bothered by anyone. I asked about the other hotel because we will have friends stayihng there the same time as we will be in our hotel. I agree though, about not getting involved with 'random people'.
