Better later than never! Egypt post!

It's been a while since I last time wrote a post & I'm sorry for being absent! It was a really good & busy summer! Of corse that's not an excuse, but today I'm back & fainally writting about my trip to Egypt, more specific to Hurghada.

I guess lots of people, especially for the last few years, don't want to travel to Egypt for safety reasons, but today I'm here telling you that people in Egypt are very nice & friendly! You have nothing to worry about as long as you don't walk into a dark street away from a main road... I mean they might want to steal with a trick your money or something, but remember only in the dark streets which are located away from the main streets (on the main road are all the shops & bazaars), but that can happen to you in any other country too. People are really nice & I recomend it for you to see it!

Egypt is known for it's rich history ( Luxor, Kairo,..) & mostly sightseeing these places is good if you're staying in Egypt between October & Aprile, because it's not that hot yet there. However pyramids are not the only thing to see & experience in Egypt!!! Kiting, surfing & diving are just another fun things to do in Egypt!! I went to this lovely trip with a boat where we were diving all day long! It's a must do thing there , because their corals, fishes & other animals are so interesting to see. So yes if you love active holidays Egypt is definitely for you!

Egypt has become through years touristic & has many beutiful hotels to offer. However, you have to know that most of the hotels are a 4 or 5 stars hotels, but accorindg to their standards. In result there might be a hotel which has 5 stars, but it's not really a 5 star hotel according to our standards. So what I suggest is that you choose a 5 star hotel, because it will be at least 4 star hotel in reallity, meanwhile a 3 star hotel might be very disappointing.

Transport in Egypt is crazy! So if you're not a native there don't drive there! Rather take a taxi which are not expensive or their local busses which are so cheap! If you don't feel comfortable enough going on your own to the city just ask some other people you meet in the hotel if they want to go with you to the city & the feeling is definitely better! ;)
