F1 in Egypt

Hi Bubblegirl

I can't help at all with regard to where you may be able to see the race....sorry! When I see 'F1' anywhere on the forum I have to have a nose at the post!

For anyone who can help, this will be the AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX so if it's shown live anywhere it would be early in the morning.

Good luck, hope you get to see the race :wink:

Pippy :D

I'd take a bet that it would be screened at "Jobo's" Bar in Tamr Henna (main) square - as they have a big screen and cover most sporting fixtures. May not be live though - time difference from Australia ?????

Thanks for the suggestion! guess I'll have to investigate once Im there!

I'll make some enquiries for you when I go out in a fortnight and will come back if I can get any definite info at that stage ??

It's possible hotels will screen it too - where are you staying ???

If anyone does find out, can you please post an update on the site. My husband and I are big F1 fans too and we will be in Egypt 13-20th July which means we are going to miss the French Grand Prix (Magny Cours) unless we catch it while we are over there.

We are staying in the Coral Sea Resort. I'm not sure if they'll be showing it at the hotel, it doesn't mention a Sports bar or anything.

Any help would be appreciated!

Most hotels in Sharm have RTL in their rooms (Germanys most successful tv station) and RTL broadcasts every race and every qualifying session live. Enjoy the race!

Jobo's bar in Tamr Henna (Downtown El Gouna) will apparantly be showing F1 on request!!!

Had the pleasure of being there on Friday night last week to watch Egypt win Africa Cup and atmosphere was amazing - major party!!!

Initially the best I have experienced in Feb - was still in a t-shirt at 7.30pm!! By early last week however the wind picked up to it's usual strength and it was actually quite chilly at times - no way would you be going out in the evening without a decent thickness of fleece, and I resorted to long sleeves for wandering around in daytime too. not so bad if you could get a good sheltered spot, but sunglasses were more in order to keep the sand at bay than anything else!!

Great for the kiteboarders and sailors I should imagine!!!
