Supermarkets and shopping in Egypt

[M Butler]

I know it's still hot but:

Anyone looking for duvets and duvet covers for the winter should take a look in Abu Ashara Market in El Nasr Street. They have a special offer on just now - buy one get one free.

I've never seen half the veggies on your chopping board Georgina, certainly wouldn't know what to do with it LOL

Looks yummy scrummy though

How do they rate the warmth

Been trying to get my partner to get me something but he does not seem to know about TOG ratings.

I have been sleeping under a quilt for the past 2 weeks!! I still have the aircon on but theres nothing better than snuggling under a quilt, instead of just sheets!!

Does anyone know what would be our nearest supermarket from the Oasis Resort please - any directions and are they within walking distance. As you can probably tell we are not really aware of the area.

hi margaret

i somehow am reading that it can be cold in hurghada in what winter evening i was wondering about duvets and sweaters myself, thanks for the tip i have been in that supermarket when i was there. this site has been wonderful for that so many forum members who either live or go to hurghada have given me so many tips that when i got there i recognised lots and lots of places from the forum, great

i was thinking i should bring linen from here especially when the sales will be very good this year, what do you think or should i be going to abu hamza!

Last month I took out a 10.5 double duvet ready for our trip in 5 weeks. I will also take 2 10.5 single ones as the ones we have at the moment are only 6.5 which Im sure wont be warm enough for me.
I cant stand being cold at night so will be packing my PJ's and slippers as well!

There is a tiny shop in the layby where Finally Home furniture shop is but I can't remember how far that is from Oasis. I will have a look next time I go past. I think it is further than walking distance. You can hop on and off the El Gouna bus that runs every 20 minutes if you manage to recognise it as it approaches. Otherwise it will be Hurghada or El Gouna for shopping. Or call Metro or Abu Ashara and have everything delivered.

Abu Ashara home delivery 0100102928 - 3547076. Will get Metro number for you.
