Hurghada

by MattTB - last update: Dec 1, 2003

We found a cheap deal to Hurghada and stayed at Le Meridiene Makadi Bay Hotel. The weather was around 28 degrees C and sunny, which was great for some November sun! I'm not a fan of these big hotels as they are destroying coasts around the world, unfortunately I couldn't avoid them this time!

We got a real result when we arrived as someone messed up our booking and we were given an all inclusive package by accident for the cost of half board! Wicked!! I'll have 10 pints of Egyptian Stella mate!!

The snorkelling was good on the house reef and we took a day trip to Cairo, which was very tiring, but I finally saw the Pyramids!

Have a read and check out some great underwater pics!!

Pros:"Sun! Great diving snorkelling, cutural day trips available"
Cons:"They are overdeveloping the coast, too many BIG hotels! People standing on the coral!"
In A Nutshell:"Great for winter sun, cheap, diving and great history all available!"

 My son is is Hurghada at the moment, so I am reading up on it. That Cairo trip would have been tiring. Thanks for the advice on snorkeling
