Mickey Lad,

There is a TV room at the CSR with a giant screen as I recall, where you pay 1 english pound to get in, as being a big Man Utd fan I saw part of the first game last season where we beat Fulham 5-1. I also recall City getting beat by Chelsea. (my other half a city fan). I'm sure they had english commentary. Hope this is of help to you.

dont worry take sterling its ok most people except english, you can change this up at reception, if you wish to.

If you do take sterling, make sure its English. As in not Scottish or Irish!

what about U.S dollars?
the exchange rate is supposed to be very good at the moment

Stick with £££

I cannot understand the advantage to changing ££ to $$ and then to LE.

Surely changing money twice will devalue the original amount???

we was over there for the new year and a couple we met had been told to take dollars with them as the exchange rate was better but they had trouble changing them and the shops wouldnt take them but if you take sterling they take them in the shops

There is also an ATM in the reception area, which we used last year when we were there. We usually asked for 500 LE at a time, which is equivalent to £50 english. Although we did take english with us, it was easier changing into egyption currency that way.

Tickets arrived yesterday :P Roll on 20th August!!!!

Hi

Not sure if you will find a channel that shows Big Brother, we had only a few channels and they were movie ones in English then on the last day hubbie found the tune in button on the remote and managed to tune in a load more English Channels but they were news, cartoons and movies.

Think you will have to see what you can tune in but i wouldnt go making any promises !!
