Default Does anybody Know where to buy Alchohol

Does anybody Know where to buy Alchohol on an off sales basis,as opposed to buying from the duty free shop at Hurghada airport and having a time limit in doing so.

I,ve heard there's a place in El Gouna,if so can anybody tell me where

Hi there,

Had the same problem in Hurghada but I have also heard a company called Cheers in El Bustan delivers and I believe their tel. no. is 19131. I haven't tried it yet so please let me know how you get on.

Margaret

There is supposed to be an off licence in Sekalla, down one of the back streets but I'm afraid I don't know the details.

Once i find out I'll let everyone know. I think he'll be doing a great trade!

You can still purchase "local" brands of alcohol from the duty free shops even after your time limit, you just can't buy any of the imported brands.

For Hurghada, in Dahar, go to the post office, take the street right (if you are coming from Sakalla), then in front of the mosque turn left, a little bit further there is a shop on the left

Just saw your message and I feel I must warn you about the "local spirits". They have fomaldahide (wrong spelling) amongst other things in them so it is up to you if you want to risk it.

cheers,
Margaret
