Ive also been to Port El Kantanaoui and it was really nice, lush beaches, nice resort etc.
TBH It was similar to any other Mediterranean nation such as Turkey, Greece and Spain and you wont really know that your are in Africa.
I had a good time, didnt see anything dodgy, Im sure youll be fine, the only thing is you may get pestered a bit by blokes if you are blonde as they adore blonde women.

Everything is cheap as fook, drinks, food, gifts, clothes etc. The weather is stupidly hot, every day I was there it was high 30's-mid 40's.
Probably a good idea to dye your hair otherwise your boyfriend will get offers of x amount of camels to sell you

yes but corsa5dr had no problems, anywhere you go has risks, no doubt thousands of tourists have been here and had no bother at all

Im half moroccan, been there many times to see me nan etc.
its propper bo out there, really relaxed and everyone is friendly. obviously some places lasses should stay away from.
tunisa is very much the same as morocco as is algeria.
keep an eye on your belongins as some of the street kids are surprisingly good pick pockets.

apart from to do the safari, and the odd time to get food etc, we wont really be leaving the resort, both had a bad time lately so mainly going to just relax and spend most time lying on beach or in pool
will be careful though aye.

Very hot and full of people that speak Arabic!
Nah seriously it depends what sort of country you like to visit. If you want to go somewhere hot and get pissed every night, go to Ibiza or somewhere like that, but if you like to go exploring and like learning about differerent cultures/history etc. then Egypt's a great place to visit.
My parents are from Egypt but my opinion is not biased in any way!
