Metro supermarket is now open in Hurghada! Located on the road between Dahar and Sakkala, next to Red Sea Hospital.
They do delivery as well.

I've heard there's going to be a new Carrefours between Hurghada and Sahl Hasheesh; anyone else know about this?

By the way I went to the new Metro. It is very nice and very european, although a little small. From the quick bit of shopping I did I thought it was better than Abu Ashra.

I have also heard that they have affected Abu Ashras Hurghada empire and he has already began cutting the cost of biscuits!

Yes, they have about 27 stores all over Egypt, also in Sharm.
They have fresh cheese, meat, chicken and fish. Also warm "ready-to-eat" products, for example: half chicken with rice.
Some bread is freshly baked in the supermarket.

The new Metro is a great location for shopper from the Arabia district (just over the hill).

Nice to see lots of shop getting bigger. It beena bit of a problem getting a good range of stuff from the small shops.

..

The big shop on the south side of Hurghada has been "around" as a shell for a long time - no building work visible last week so still likely to be some time off. It's a very big site with not many apartments etc near it yet.

A friend of mine who works at the International School in El Gouna, tells me that many of her friends go to Cairo once a month just to do their shopping at Carrefour. I went there just over a year ago and it's huge..and cheap! Worth a thought until one opens nearer Hurghada. Maybe several people could get together and organise a monthly trip.
(By the way, sorry if this isn't an original thought).
