Honeymoon In Egypt?

At this point in time, I probably would not choose to go there for a honeymoon.

Egypt is beautiful...I was there last August. Go to Sharm El-Shiekh...they have gorgeous beaches.

Egypt is the best place to have your honeymoon at, Sharm is awesome if you like yellow sand beches and worm weather.....Night life is the boom too..........

Ooops, I accidently started a new message with my original reply - sorry, blame it on being a Brit!

Anyway, as the message did say, my fiance proposed to me in Egypt in September 2003 - he got a round of applause from the reception staff at the hotel we were staying in.

We`re from the UK and were going at the height of the war in Iraq, which is what I assume the first reply was hinting at - the situation being dangerous. Well, we found everyone in Egypt so kind. Security is tight and you`ll see armed guards at every hotel reception with airport scanners - don`t be put off, they`re there to protect you and are happy to get to know you and advise you. Use their knowledge of the safer places to go.

One thing I will say is be prepared for people to approach you to try to sell to you on the street - just be polite but firm. The Egyptians are a gentle people and will take the hint if you say "no thank you" often enough.

Also, if you say "I promise" to an Egyptian, they assume you mean it - so if you "promise" to come back the next day to buy something they will keep the stall open all day waiting for you - don`t let them down or don`t make the promise in the first place. We promised a taxi driver that we would use him for a return journey - he waited in the blazing heat for two hours and was so happy to see us as so many foreign visitors had let him down in the past.

Have a wonderful honeymoon.
