Hello all, I am new to this topic I was going to Cyprus this new year 2008/09 but Thomson Holidays canceled it with six weeks to go, so here we are now going to Egypt, and I know nothing about it at all only it can be hot.
So what do I need to know?
1 what sort of plugs do they have there round two pin or are they like ours three pin. Two pin
2 will we need a visa to go to Marsa Alam. yes
3 can we use Engish money for tips as we are A I, or do we have to have there money. Yes
4 are the mosquitos meaner than the ones in the Med. No
5 is the local beer any good. We find it OK in Egypt
Thanks,
Dave.

Marsa Alam is a lovely fishing village (although its population has increased dramatically in the last few years) which is a favourite of both local fisherman and scuba divers. The scuba divers seem to visit all year around to look at the wonderfull underwater wild life so i assume that swimming is safe the majority of the time, you might find it useful going on a divers forum and asking on there as they seem to be the people in the know when it comes to the sea in Marsa Alam
hope that helps
Dave.
Have a great time, and good new year
