Yep.....housework now on hold!! this is much more fun!
We are flying from Gatwick on 18th.Most of the time we will be getting our appartment sorted (as long as the furniture arrives from the UK on time!!) but my partner has never been to Egypt,so want to show him around a bit.Not sure if there are any public beaches in Hurghada,any ideas?

Plenty of public beaches, there is a thread on them somewhere, you will have to do desert dtrip too fantastic day out, quadbiking, camel riding, snake zoo, two meals, show and the jeep safari taking you in the mountians for all this. 12 noon kickoff back 8-9pm

We also went to El Gouna for a day trip the bars, the marina, go karts and we had a meal in the chinese restaurant, Fantastic day out just to see how the other half live.

Excuse my ignorance here,but is a day in ElGouna a boat trip or by road? is the beach a public one?

[J4hurghada]

We went with friend that lives in Hurghada and his cousin owns the chinese restaurant there, but there are busses that go to el gouna and also taxi's and you do your own thing. Yes there is a beautiful beach, Combie would know details regarding El Gouna with her having apartment there too.They do the golfing there too.

Thats Mr Crombie

There are 2 Public beaches

1) Zeytouna which is in on an island between the Sheraton & Movenpick hotels . It can be accessed by boat from Downtown and via bridges from the 2 hotels . It has a market and restaurants and a long jetty to get out past the shallow water

2) Mangroovy beach is to the North of the Marina . The Marina bus also goes there . This beach is very shallow for a long way out and is very popular with kite surfers. There are a couple of refreshment options here too.

You also have to wander around the Marina and drool over the Yachts and think which one you would have after that lottery win.

No need to come here on an organised tour
Buses from Hurghada run Ever 20 Minutes and cost 5le
a day ticket for the buses and boats inside El Gouna costs 5le
Come and explore !

Sorry Mr Crombie.

Thanks for the insight for the others, I know it is a great place and we all enjoyed our day out. You bought at a fantastic time and for what I paid for mine 2 years ago I would have only been able to buy a beech hut in El Gouna if they had them. Sorry for getting things wrong but I am just a dizzy blond.

Am I forgiven

Best regards
