Haggle tips for the wise!

* There first price will be at least 50% more than what they will except.
* Pretend not really to want the item u r tryin to get.
* Don't let a guy take u into a shop, because his commission will be added on the price.
* Start low & don't budge much.
* Begin to walk off @ least once.
* Sit & have a tea & a she-sha with the owner.
On the 1 hand no one likes gettin ripped off but when u think about it, it;s usally a tiny amount of $$ to u but a huge amount to them. but it's a bit of fun gettin them down! then u can always give them extra after u win the haggle, good luck!

We got to out 3 star hotel & it was pretty flash. It turned out that we didn't have a tour that arvie so we chilled @ the rooftop pool the then slaughtered the buffet that nite. A relax was well needed after the lack of sleep on the falucca.

The next day we had a guide for the valley of the kings, stone factory & Karnac temple (really impressive)
We got back to the hotel to find out that we had a 17 hr bus ride to Dahab instead of a night in Hurgada and a ferry ( the ferry wasn't running)
see ya in Dahab
