  • Egyptian music can brig you in higher atmospheres, the sound is so hypnotic but enjoyable.

  • I really don't know if this tip is a common local custom.
    But there where so many men asking us to change their Euro coins into banknotes.
    Give them a helping hand, because most of the banks don't change coins.

  • Although Egypt is an Islamic state where alcohol is forbidden, you can consume and buy alcoholic drinks in most of the major hotels and bars in Hurghada.
    You can drink as much as you want, but remember you're still a guest.
    So don't provoke the local people by walking drunk around the city.
    CHEERS.
