I loved it and could have spent hours there if it wasn't for my nagging husband who has a shopping phobia ;) I thought it was a lot better than Naama Bay and definitely better for shopping. Its a lot better in the evening so a great place to head to after dinner.

Here the prices are much better than any were if you want to buy any clothes or gifts and there are also a few good seafood restuarants.

I liked the old town as it reminded me of my trip to Marrakech. There is a restaurant recommended by a number of Egyptians I got talking to - El Masrien. I can see why they visit there. Delicious Egyptian food.

Everyone had hyped it up so when i got there i was a little disappointing. It was like walking round Brixton market to be honest, its just that the people were selling different goods. I ate at a very nice Egyptian restaurant though with one of my friend's.

El Marsien is undoubtedly the best restaurant we tried - and loved! It serves traditional Egyptian food and is about the best I've had. It's really reasonable priced too and the dips are yummy. Try it - not the place for a romantic night out, but if you want the real Egyptian experience, this is the place to get it.... More

This is a great place to get a good atmosphere and experience of the culture, the market sellers are very friendly and are not as aggressive as some in bigger places towards the airport.
