Hi MargaretI was especially interested in the postal service in El Gouna. Have you had any problems with mail from abroad? We were going to use the Royal Mail redirection service but we are unsure about the correct address to use. Would it be: house number, area in El Gouna, El Gouna, Hurghada, Egypt or is there something else we should know? Where is the post office in El Gouna and do we just go in and tell them we have arrived?
Thanks,
Margaret
Yes that is the address I use. I have no problems receiving simple letters but any post with something inside I would use a signed for service. A lot of things have never arrived. My sister posted a jiffy bag with a small tablecloth wrapped in Christmas paper with this service though. I guess the customs open the package because it arrived resealed and they had unwrapped my Christmas present and screwed everything up and shoved it back in the envelope I get bank statements, etc. sent here but most of my post goes to my brothers house in the UK and he opens it for me.
The post office is in Tamr Henna just round the corner from Best Way supermarket. Ezz is the manager so ask him about whether you need a box or he can just call you when mail arrives.
Good luck with the move.
