ive also thought of this problem but then ive related back to my holiday in spain , 8 euros for a umbrella, and two sunbeds for the day now just the same over here but with the use of a pool and bar as well, and nice toilets what i will say is that there seems to be still some open public beaches left between the hotels but there is nothing on them and there not perfect but u could always take your own folding sunbed and food ,and set a trend but most of the appt's have their own pool, how many of us have been away and stayed around the pool or a nice tan can be got off the roof"" what is needed badly over there more to the point i think are english news papers OH SO MISSED THEM, would be nice if anybody can shed light on this!!!can you get them,could some one not set up as paperboy!!!you know find a way, sharm has them !! and first of all i paid £3.00 for the daily mail, but after getting wise paid £1.50 when insharm flew over to hurghada and loved it much more but that was the one thing i missed about sharm, but compared to a sunbed, towell and umbrella for £2.50aprox the beach is good value

How does schooling work on the red sea - is it all private? If so, what sort of cost is it and how does the quality of education compare to the UK? My son is 3 and while I was originally looking for an investment, having now visited I am coming round to the idea of leaving the UK. But have to make sure that my son can still get decent schooling when it's time for him to start in about a year. Also are there any good nurseries?

HAving spoken to a friend of mine who is Egyptian, it appears that if you import a car, you pay the cost of the car again for import tax, something to do with them preferring that you contribute to the economy rather than bring your own car in, could be totally wrong - but with taxis being so cheap why buy a car, just rent one when you need it ha ha !!!

We have looked into importing a car and it just wasnt worth it I believe you can buy brand new from approx £7000GBP maybe not the style of car you would have got in UK maybe hyundi or daewoo but still a new car if you want but it wont stay new looking for long !

Has anyone come across a launderette in Hurghada? Preferably around the area of Regency Towers.

Thanks

Why bother with a launderette Lyndsay? Laundries are ridiculously cheap; your washing and ironing comes back the same day and the cost is minimal. When we were in the Hor Palace a bag full of washing including at least 10 shirts and a couple of pairs of trousers cost about 20 LE!

lyndsay552 · #**249** 13-04-2008, 01:46 PM

But how would you go about that if you where staying in an apartment?

Peter Mitry · #**250** 13-04-2008, 01:59 PM

I guess we will just have to find out where the laundries are and take it in; there is a laundry in Mubarak 2 but I just asked at my hotel reception (Marlin Inn on the Esplanade) and they said you can just bring your laundry to the hotel in the morning and it will be back the same day. Its a bit more expensive than the Hor Palace but shirts are beautifully ironed and come back on hangers inside a plastic cover. Cost for 10 shirts, trousers, pant socks etc about 60 Egyptian.
