Hello bejay, nice one, we only have 1 holiday a year so you're lucky to be going again at Xmas
Thanks for the tip there about the Stirling, we are doing the same, was going to get £50 pounds worth from the Booth in Tesco but decided to get some Egyptian LE at the Airport in Sharm when we land

not bothering at all with Egyptian, we just tipped in pounds and paid pounds in shops at hotel. At end of holiday we did change pounds for notes for the staff as they can't change them in banks. We could not snorkel in December the shark attack was the day before we went. Read now our hotel has 20 metres by 3 metres snorkelling area. Have they netted it off anyone know. Thats the Reef asis Blue Bay Sharm
You have just reminded me bejay, I need to dig out my snorkel and check it's not leaking
Hmmm tipping wise, some say they prefer their own currency others say they are happy with our currency, I'll think more about this next week when we are there

I always tip in LE or $ otherwise they chase you around looking to change into notes. I came back laden down with £20 in £1 coins last year 
Although the pester a lot to go into shops etc, i feel they don't like pestering to change the money, they want to spend it not wait yonks for some British person to change it.

5th december to jaz mirabel beach . shoulod we be worrying about the new troubles yet.
Probably not, just don't prebook any day trips to Cairo, Luxor etc wait till you get there and see what the current situation is.
I flew back to Europe from Cairo on Monday and like anywhere else where there are protests life goes on normally just a few streets away from the demonstrations. Though I wouldn't advise anyone to book a trip to Cairo over the next few months as the situation is very volatile I certainly wouldn't cancel a trip to the beach resorts . The Eygptian tourist business is really suffering at the moment, numbers of visitors are substantially down and workers are losing their jobs. At many places I was thanked personally for visiting the country at a time when many tourists are staying away.
going next week
No problems but Luxor was very quiet,really feel sorry for them with not many
tourists,our hotel Sonesta st George was quite full lots of American tourists.

Welcome back Ann, glad you had a good time. 
It's a shame for them over there with the lack of tourists, we came back from Sharm a few weeks ago and it is a similar story there. Probably a bit better than it was in April and we were in a brit dominated hotel which is pretty popular, but I think they are still struggling.
