Often underrated. This is where most of the hotel workers, who come from all parts of Egypt, live as well as local Bedouin, men working in the nearby gold mine at Sukari and traders who have set up to provide local services.
Description
Plus points – Often underrated. This is where most of the hotel workers, who come from all parts of Egypt, live as well as local Bedouin, men working in the nearby gold mine at Sukari and traders who have set up to provide local services. It’s close to most of the hotels in the region, it has a number of shops selling both essentials and souvenirs, a reasonably priced market and a handful of fairly basic but clean restaurants and cafes. Locals are usually very happy to see tourists and genuinely friendly.
Negatives – A modern town with little intrinsic architectural charm or beauty – at midday sometimes has the appearance of a ghost town although it comes to life in the evenings when it’s cooler and the working population returns.
