If anyone is looking for some business ideas, here are some things that we would like to see in Hurghada.
1. A little cinema showing English language movies. I know that there are some plans for one in some developments, but we can't wait that long. We want one right now!
2. An English language free newspaper. The Russians already have one - Komsomolovskaya Pravda - which is a fortnightly 32-pager and seems to be doing very well from the amount of advertising in each issue.
3. The girlfriend needs some decent clothes/shoe shops. There aren't really many mid-market shops in this area - just the trashy stuff with fake D&G, Prada, Armani, etc.
4. Some place for the high-rollers to go. I don't know why there aren't more casinos here when there are loads in Sharm. The fanciest place around at the moment seems to be Little Buddha, but it just seems to be an over-priced Chinese restaurant crossed with a provincial disco to me.
5. There still seems to be the opportunity for a decent English/Irish pub. The best that Hurghada has to offer in this respect - Papa's, PJ's and the Winking Frog all leave a lot to be desired still.
