Hi Dave saw it here Hurghada Information Network - Home

I need to hire a people carrier to go to Marsa Alam. Anyone got any contacts?
What can I expect to pay for a car and driver for the day?

see Egypt car - rent car Egypt

Took a long time to find it on this web-site - it is very slow.

The message is not very clear about what routes - do you think it is maybe only the long distance routes - if not this is serious bad news for non-egyptians not "in town" wanting to travelling up and down the coast road towards El Gouna and all those new resorts on this long road

- good news for taxis I think

Like many countries the most problems are in the highly populated areas - these are near the Med for Egypt, particularly Cairo.

If you ever get to the outskirts of Hurghada, north or south, you start to ask yourself why have they built a dual carriageway - there is virtually no traffic to have an accident with.

Except the one coming the wrong way down the road with no lights on at night that is !!!!
