This matches my experience. Egypt is great value for money.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

100% agree. The value there is hard to beat.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.
