Advantages: good story and acting, nice scenery,some funny bits Disadvantages: Dated now, predictable ending
It is quite strange how we came to watch this film as we watched a music video on a TV show quite some time ago and I was socked to see Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas singing and dancing along in it only to be told by hubby that this is the film which it was from. Since then I have been looking out fir the film as hubby was shocked that I had never see it. To my surprise it was on one of the older movie channel ion sky recently so we recorded it and finally got around to watching it.
As I have said this film was on the TV so it is a FILM ONLY review.

The hotel had all we needed for our short stay, and was much more appealing than staying a Holiday Inn or Travelodge. I'm sure we will be staying at the Mercure ...
Advantages: Friendly and very Egyptian Disadvantages: Not many sites to see, out of the way of most tourists (but that's why I like it!)
and thin, stretching for miles along the coast in both directions from the city centre. Trams run in both directions and are an incredibly cheap way of exploring - although they are also very slow and should not be used if you are in anything even remotely approaching a hurry! Alex's beaches should probably be avoided, as they are far from clean - although in the summer they are an amazing spectacle and absolutely jammed pack with what seems like the entire population of Cairo. Visitors should definitely take a stroll along the corniche however, as this is also the main leisure activity of the locals too!
