Wow!! Just seen the Senzo website. Can't wait :-) I have seen the construction site a while ago and a friend told me the other day it is supposed to be opening soon.
In El Gouna we have one extreme to the other for clothes shopping, either the usual fake designer clothes or ridiculously expensive clothes. It really winds me up when I am quoted prices in Euros because I think it is just targetted at the tourists earning European salaries. But I guess it is nice to have the choice here if you want to pay those prices.
We are still limited here for buying decent make-up so I love to go up to Cairo to City Stars and stock up on cosmetics. City Stars is wonderful to go to when you live on the Red Sea coast but just for a day or two. And I highly recommend Abu el Sid restaurant on the 6th floor for their Egyptian decor and Egyptian food.
In Esplanada Mall in Hurghada we have Charles Keith for shoes and boots. I have bought quite a few pairs but El Gouna was certainly not designed for high heels. I wear boots with narrow heels in the winter but once the heels have worn down I don't know of a decent shoe repair. I took them the first time to Hurghada and was charged LE25 which I thought was OK but they looked terrible and only lasted about four walks to the marina and back. I then went with a friend and paid LE10 so OK it's not too much but I would gladly pay more if they were repaired like in the UK. I have since learned that the Egyptian price is LE1 !! I hope Senzo opens a good shoe repairers for ladies shoes.
