    Hey,

    Yeah I was there a year ago.

    ATM's can be difficult to come by outside of the main strip (sorry I forget what it's called!), but there should be one at your hotel - we stayed at Hilton Waterfalls so they'd defo have one.

    The quad-biking is great craic, I'd defo recommend it.

    There's a small waterslide park there also, it's only a year old now, just opened when we were there, it's still great fun for what it is.

    The weather should still be hot. Don't think you can use Euro's but you maybe able to bargain with street vendors and shop owners - whatever price is on something you can always get them to go lower.

    Be careful about getting taxis. Only get into registered cabs and agree a price before you leave! IMPORTANT!

    I wanted to go on a camel ride but got sick that day!

    The snorkelling in the red sea is awesome. It's a nice day out, I'd recommend that also. It might be a bit of a long day for some though.

    Hope that helps!

    that's brlliant. thank you. Im staying in george three corners, haven't a clue if there is an atm there. do they take credit cards in shops/restaurants?

    Ah yeah I'm fairly certain they do. We just used to take a good bit of cash with us so didn't really use the card, except in that club in town - Pascha. It's very well known and there's a nice rooftop bar beside it. Pascha is very expensive though but defo go there even just for one of the nights. Again that's what me and the gf did. It was so hot that we'd go out for dinner and just go back to the apartment, we were knackered in the evenings!

    Buddha Bar Restaurant was really nice. Pay close to dublin prices though. Can eat really cheap in other restaurants. We flew to Cairo on a day trip & it was fantastic. Tired to get to Luxor but it was sold out, really regret not getting this trip in. Really hot but loved it. Quad biking in desert was so cool. Make sure you have a scarf for your head and face so they dont get sand burn! Enjoy
