The kids... well it was mainly them insisted we come back this year for our hols and the prospect of owning an apartment there is almost too much for them to contain!

We made an effort, even though we were based in a resort, and got invited to a local wedding, an evening with the locals at a cafe and a night out at a belly dancing club where we were the only non-Egyptians ( a heated debate took place between the owner and our host, but once in we were treated extremely well).

If you like the heat and are prepared to make the effort with the locals, I think you'll love it. Good luck with the purchase
