Sharm El Sheikh was once a small village which did not attract too many tourists if any. However, in a cleverly thought out strategy, the Egyptian government decided to try and use the year long sunshine enjoyed by this Red Sea resort and develop it to attract the tourist market. So after nearly 20 years in the making Sharm El Sheikh can consider itself as a real challenge to the Mediterranean resorts.

Sharm EL Sheikh Egypt hotels are amongst the best you can find for the money and being specifically tailored to the demanding tourists have a wealth of facilities, including swimming pools, multi restaurants, saunas, health and fitness clubs, on site shopping.

This is a true diving Mecca (sorry) and a great place to learn to dive. In addition to the many dive sites Sharm El Sheikh Egypt hotels are a great springboard to explore the Siani Peninsula. You can take trips into the Siani desert, explore famous monastery’s and even climb the mountain which Moses received the 10 commandments!

Truly Sharm El Sheikh has to be considered as one of the reachable summer and winter holiday destinations.

Cheap holidays to Egypt

Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized Thursday Jan 8,2009

I have just come across a great site which is dedicated to finding great deals on cheap holidays to Egypt.  In the economic cliamte with the Euro and the pound on a par, ouch, Egypt is currently the best place to enjoy a cheap holiday.  Egypt has in the past 10 years or so tried to developed it’s beach tourism market to compete with the Mediterranean countries for our custom.   There is “no try about it” now, with the such resorts as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada being developed out of small fishing villages into tailor made resorts dedicated to our lust for the sun and the sea.  You may think that these resorts are sterile places, but once you have visited them and enoyed not only the climate, the beach and the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea but you also see that Egyptian culture is part and parcel of these resorts and only a short walk will take you  there if you desire.

Your first holiday in Sharm Sharm El Sheikh you’ll be struck by the number of well built affordable hotels.  Being only 10 or so years old every building is new and the leasons learned from hotel construction in the 60’s and 70’s on the Med have been incorporated  – so no high rise tower blocks, everything is on the flat or two stories high.

Similarly with the second most popluar Red Sea Resort of Hurghada, Sharm being the most.  This was a small fishing village only 20 years ago which has now developed into a resort with a population of aorund 50,000.  As with Sharm El Sheikh the hotels in Hurghada are new and purpose built for the demanding tourist.

So to sum up why should you go on an Egyptian holiday?  First thing to consider is the cracking year round weather, the next is that the top resorts are all new and purpose built, the next thing to consider is that the value for money – the pound is in a terrible way with the Euro, not so with the Egyptian £.  Although the resorts are new and purpose built Egyptian culture and landscape has its very own attraction.  So with all these reasons to go what’s stopping you.  Check-out Cheap Egypt for great deals on  Sharm El Sheikh Egypt Holidays, Hurghada Egypt Holidays , Luxor Egypt Holidays and Cairo Egypt Holidays


Save £200 on Playstation 3 Console

Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized Thursday Dec 18,2008

How is it possible to save £200 on a brand new PlayStation 3 Console which has only just been released?  Is the credit crunching biting so hard that Sony have to reduce their top of the range Play Station 3.  Maybe the savings are a result of comparing the features the PS3 has to what is available on the market separately.  For example the PS3 console  has a high spec Blu-ray player, a HD TV recorder an MP3 player, a massive 160 GB HDD a fantastic games console and digital photo viewer all if bought separately would probably not only take up your entire living room but also cost round about £700.  No that is not the saving I am talking about.

Rather than me explaining how to make this saving I suggest you pop over to www.playstation3console.co.uk and find out how you can save £200 on the new PlayStation 3 Console 160GB.

  How to reclaim bank charges from your bank, a step by step guide.

Pioneer Plasma – the Kuro range

Author: admin | Filed under: Uncategorized Friday May 30,2008

I found this an odd fact, the only type of TV Pioneer make is plasma.  They have ignored the lcd market and concentrated on the plasma format.    Why is this odd you may ask? It is odd because intuitively you would think that if their is money to be made in the lcd and plasma markets that a TV manufacturer would manufacturer both formats in the same that Sony, Samsung,  LG, Panasonic etc have.

Pioneer’s strategy has been unusual for a reason – they are dedicated in producing the best plasma screen TV in the world.  If anybody can remember back to when plasma screen first came out they were terrible, blurry pictures, hazy images colour quality not great, but people still bought the!  Pioneer did not want to settle for second best for their customers so they took a decision to concentrate on developing the technology behind plasma screens.  They believed that if they split their efforts between LCD and Plasma they would be diluting the quality of the product.

Today Pioneer plasma screens are by far the best plasma TV you can buy. The Kuro range, Pioneer plasma pdp-428xd, Pioneer plasma pdp-4280xd, Pioneer plasma pdp-508xd, Pioneer plasma pdp-5080xd, Pioneer plasma pdp-lx508d, Pioneer plasma pdp-lx5080d, Pioneer plasma pdp-lx608d, Pioneer plasma pdp-6080d, have all won awards and pludits from well respected industry insiders and consumer magazines.  Which, What Hifi and many other consumer champions have rated the Pioneer plasma pdp as the best plasma TV’s on the market.

If you want to buy a plasma TV then look no further than Pioneer Plasma PDP’sCompare prices for Pioneer plasma pdps and save hundreds of pounds.


What is good debt advice?

Author: admin | Filed under: Debt advice Tuesday Mar 4,2008

Many say the best things in life are free, but are they? Reading this article “Debt advice warning- watch out for the cowboys” made me re-think the provision of free debt advice.

I was of the opinion that getting free debt advice would not really harm anybody, but this article highlights the tricks some of these firms get up to. It does serve as a reminder to us all that just because the word free is used it doesn’t guarantee quality and it certainly doesn’t mean that we should park our judgement.

As with anything we should scrutinise every major decision we make. The use of the word free can be used for good as well as bad purposes. This is why we should do our own research and never just except things at face value.


Debt Consolidation – why we use it

Author: admin | Filed under: Debt consolidation Friday Feb 15,2008

Too many people these days do things without thinking it through. For example, adding salt to their food without tasting it; nail biting, smoking and shopping are all things we do without thinking about it. We all know that too much salt is bad for us, biting our nails makes them look ugly and too shopping gets you into debt.

Debt consolidation is one of the things which fall into the “doing things without thinking about it” category. A friend of mine, Paul, fell into this category. Having a lot of debt and a high monthly repayment he ignored the fundamental issues behind the debt problem, his lack of budgetary control, and he took out a debt consolidation loan! The effect of this is that yes the monthly repayments were reduced but to achieve this the period of the loan has increased and the total amount repayable has increased. The thing is that Paul has trained himself to ignore his debt problem (as well as his smoking) and when he starts to worry about money off he goes and buys more clothes and CD’s! It doesn’t make sense.

Paul spoke to me about his money problems when he start losing sleep over his debts. He asked me what he should do. My answer was simple, stop ignoring your debt problems and address your spending. He did give me the poor old me and lucky you chat, “you’re ok you understand about the financail market”. I put him right on that and told him that household budgeting was simple and that you didn’t need a qualification to understand that you don’t spend more than you earn.

Paul’s relationship with his creditors was like a junkies relationship to their dealer. Without question Paul could get more money, regardless of whether he could pay it back, and off Paul would trot to the shops and pub and blow the lot. I spent a whole night going through Paul’s bills and statements. He was in well over his head, to the tune of £35,678.45! He was spending approximately £1000 a month more than he earned. I showed Paul how to draw up a Statement of Affairs which details all your spending, income assets and liabilities. From that we worked out where he could save money, he changed utility supplier, broadband supplier, converted his mortgage to interest only, got rid of his life insurance, stopped paying insurance on his loans and cut his food budget dramatically. He has turned round a deficit of £1k a month to a £500 surplus!! He is now using this money to attack his debt which if he maintains his current spending/savings pattern will be paid of in 4 years.

Paul has become a lot more positive and he has also noticed a changed in his life. He told me he didn’t realise what effect his debts had on him until he started to address them. He has become a lot more positive and less lavish and stopped smoking, which is another £150 a month towards his debt. So before you get another debt consolidation loan think about it!
