In Latvia, where I live at the moment, the Old Town is pretty much a tourist ghetto now - the locals can't afford to go there any more as prices are calculated purely for tourists.
There are cheap places in Hurghada and expensive places. My wallet is still in shock after having a meal at Little Buddha and eating anywhere at all in El Gouna is definitely not a bargain basement opportunity. I am sure that it will be the same in Sahl Hasheesh too.
