Sitting around in bars all evening, talking complete rubbish?

You sound like my kinda guy!

I will be in Hurghada from 1 February and looking for someone to sit around in bars with talking complete rubbish, so if you would like to meet up some time that you're over, please PM me.

HI as living in Hurghada i recommend you following fairs:

from Dahar to sekalla (Mc Donalds, Sea Gull, Touristic Central, hadaba till Abu Ashara mall) don;t pay more than 10 L.E

From Dahar to Sindbad, or kawther till end of walking road pay 20 L.E

From Dahar to Villages up like Magawish or Hilton Long Beach pay from 25 to maximum 30 L.E not more.

and from Sekalla same just deduct 5 L.E

and if you like to take taxi to El Gouna don't pay more than 40-50 L.E maximum

if need other info let me know

we went to sharm 2002 ,,, january.. was warm till about 1ish then turned cold.we were due to go up sinai but weather was too bad too much snow..

as long as it is warm im not ccaring too much

Hi All,

I would recommend to make sure you pay what's on the meter.
The blue and orange taxis are controlled by the government,there is now a sticker in the taxis that asks you to call the number shown if you should have a complaint.
Take the taxi drivers number and complain should you need to.
Some will try it on but just pay what's on the meter and give the driver a tip.
I thought I would just mention this,if there are no orange and blue taxis available then obviously agree on a price before you get in the cab.

muchos grassias

Hi
Its nice to pay what in the meter and now you can find a number on the taxi glass in front and back but some times its better for you to agree on the fair before you take tha taxi and what i said is the maximum payment i hope it help, for sharm El Sheikh the taxi charges start from 25 maximum 50 l.E i just was there, and for the weather in feb it might be cold but in the morning as long as the sunshine it will be warm and you can enjoy the sea but in evening take care it will be cold

All very well but the whole point of this thread was that the taxi drivers always say to tourists that their meter is broken. Even when you threaten to report them them just dive off.

Well the idea is to then take the taxis number then ring this new number they have in the cabs window and report them,or use another taxi,I was there last week and the majority at my request did put the meter on,with others I agreed a price before travelling.It's not a massive problem if you are not happy use someone else, there is hundreds of these cabs flying about,there is no need to even argue with them.

use another one don't use who say its broken there is lots of them

I am OK with paying LE10 for most journeys inside Hurghada. The LE1 and 50 piaster notes are so disgusting that I would rather the taxi drivers keep them for fear of my catching some disaease off them!
