Would you do it?

seen some lovely deals in October half term. Under 2k, Hilton, movenpick hotels, but Egypt? I went and hated it, although I left the hotel grounds which we wouldn’t be doing. But I got a dodgy tum too BUT this was 15 years ago?

what say you MN?

I love Eygpt, my GC have been going since the eldest was 18 months. I stay in a Rui and we've never had stomach issues. I like Morocco as well. However if you aren't leaving the hotel then I'd be looking elsewhere with a splash park and good children's entertainment.

Egypt was my dd's 2nd holiday, she was 2.
This was 20+ years ago, we all loved it.

The area we were in has changed so much now - of course it has, and there are now lots and lots of hotels in the area. Makadi Bay area.

We went through Kuoni and it was a ' nice ' holiday.

The nearest town was Hurghada and we went into ' town ' often, sometimes on the hotel free shuttle bus, sometimes by taxi. I see Google maps now call Hurghada a city.

We also went on a trip into the desert, and visited a Bedouin camp.

Took dd back ( when she was 10 ) to Egypt to Cairo and did all the major sights including the Pyramids. Pretty sure it was a Movenpick hotel then.

One day we will do a Nile cruise and visit the Valley of the Kings etc.

but if you have been before, hated it, got upset tummy etc. and never left the hotel - why repeat the experience ?

Oh god no. We went 2 years ago and genuinely hardly left our hotel room as we were all so ill.

As a child, we did a day trip to Egypt (I am sure we were in Cyprus but that can't be right 🤨) and everyone who went, came back ill too

Wouldn’t personally, can’t imagine I’d enjoy it.
