Can't afford to prop up the bar every night in El Gouna I just work behind the bar on Sunday nights. I wrote about the owner, Richard, in the summer issue of El Gouna magazine on page 29 elgounamag

I shall definitely pop in there next time I am in El Gouna on a Sunday!

Welcome back to the forum Nick! I wondered what happened to you? Egypt Real keeping you too busy?

Long may it continue!!

I tried out the new cinema in Mirage Disco, Downtown, El Gouna last night and was very impressed. They have sorted out the sound problem now. It was great to sit with your feet up on the cushions under the stars watching a big screen. Ordered beer and cheese burger and chips. Couldn't really see what it looked like and the chips didn't taste so good but the burger was delicious. Found out later that all the tomato sauce had gone in my flip flops and not in the bun

The movies are every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 8.30pm and entrance is free. Thursday is another showing at 10.30pm. From Sunday will be Die Hard 4.0 and the following week What Happens in Vegas.

Next door to the disco/cinema is Les Petites Nursery and they have just started Salsa dance classes every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday at 6.30pm. It costs LE35 for one hour. I went last night and it was great fun. Usual problem though, no men But it makes a nice evening because you have time to go for a beer in Downtown inbetween the salsa and cinema

Sounds great Georgina and for free as well - cant be bad. You will have to get Nick and Peter down to the Salsa nights - dont forget to take lots of pics of them to post here tho lol x

All sounds good Georgina, are the films in english language or subtitles? Maybe we'll venture there next week I love tomato sauce flipflops ... yum

The films are in English. Last night there were Arabic and French subtitles too.

Hi Sharma's
Any advice appreciated
My son and his girlfriend have just booked a last minute deal to go to, I think (he told me when he came in last night at 11.30 and is at work now) Naama bay in 3 weeks. he is also going with friends and they are all very sporty and would want to experience snorkeling and diving (and probably every drink available!!)
Do you think it would be best for him to arrange this through agent at hotel or would it be better to try and source/contact someone independantly?
I have been given the task today of trying to find the best insurance to cover him!!!
Thanks in anticipation
Take Care

Hi try Colona

I took this from their facebook

Colona Sharm has started a new system where we can offer full Diving Insurance that begins immediately. No waiting for confirmation emails or 24 hrs for payment clearance. This means the diver can decide on the day of check in or even on the boat to have insurance.

No messing about with credit cards we pay for you and add it to the bill.

It only costs 5euros/day so it’s ideal for the diver who wants to dive only a few days.

It has added bonuses of; Diving upto 50mtrs (ideal for technical divers) and it fully covers rescue boat transport, which is one thing that most other insurances don't cover.

Weekly, Monthly and yearly policies are available too.

Policies are supplied by Divemaster Insurance full info at Welcome to Indepths
