Yep. its a danger alright. One of my mates had his head cut off right, and his missus had to pay excess baggage because it was treated as a seperate item. When she complained, they tasered her and hit her on the head with a truncheon.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostEgypt travel advice
There is a high threat from terrorism in Egypt. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in public places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers, such as hotels and restaurants. See Safety and Security - Terrorism.
Enjoy!

I had this mate right, lovely guy, he caught derengi blackwater legionaires after the local kids refilled discarded bottles with rancid water from the camel troughs. He would have been 45 this year, wife married an Italian. sad, very sad

Only 5 hours from Manchester, quite cheap to go and look at the facts:
1. When you're hot, you can have a nice swim in the sea ....... actually better not, just in case the sharks chew your legs off...
2. When you're tired, you can retreat back to your hotel room ...... well after the recent floods washing buildings down this week killing 20 people, I think I'll stay by the pool to be safe...
3. When you're after some nice food, you can enjoy some of Egypts fine dishes ........ Actually, after reading an article about Egypt being the worse place in the world for picking up Delhi Belly, then I might give it a miss....
4. When you're ready for a drink, you can grab a nice beer ...... well, to be on the safe side its best not to as I might get dysentry...
What a holiday !!

South Africa
South Africa is very balmy at this time of year,
usually 30C+
You can also have unwanted spouses and relatives topped for less than in other tourist destinations

Hawaii, a long way to go but very pleasant weather.
Was 29 degrees every day we were there back in June/July.

They weren't suggestions, they are the top 10 winter destinations for Britons according to the Mail.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostI thought that about ALL the suggestions
The main problem with tourist destinations is that by their nature they attract tourists.

I'll be in South China for a month, comfortable average of 22 degrees. Christmas Day booked into outside spa on the beach - provided the snow doesn't stop take off

I hear that Eilat in Israel is very agreeable.
Unfortunately it is the winter destination of choice for Julie Birchell. What a holiday spoiler it would be bumping in to that attention seeking, overgrown 6th form student during one's evening constitutional on the prom.

Thailand is even better, though a longer journey.
OP: Benidorm? FFS. This is a contractor site!
