thistle Member # 6024	posted If you are coming to Cairo on holiday and looking for a unique place to stay with a fantastic view then check out our website: www.nileview.com We have opened a traditional bed and breakfast on the Nile!
Ann Member # 106	posted Hi Ruth Great initiative, wish you the best of luck! The pictures on the website are rather small, its not so easy to see what's on offer. Cheers Ann
Semsema Member # 5415	posted Good Morning Ruth, As a Scot in Hurghada I will definitely give you an e-mail when we plan on visiting Cairo. Very best of luck in your venture, I'm sure you will be a success.
bob the dog Member # 4691	posted Hi Ruth!! Your idea is very good.... unfortunately your prices are very high for somebody already living in Egypt!! i am coming to Cairo from Hurghada tomorrow for a 3 day break.... I will find a small hotel!!

I kept clicking on them to see if I could get a larger view. Otherwise, sounds wonderful.
DJKeefy™: Member # 5954	posted OK Ive Checked The Website Out And Now You Can Click On The Small Thumbnails To Get A Big Photo, The Only problem Is That The Pics Are About 25921944, Which Is Way Too Big, (Hey Small Now Too Big .) Think About People On A 56k Modem They Probably After Wait 10 Mins Just To see 1 Photo, You Need To Reduce The Photo To About 640480, Thats Big Enough, And It Will Speed The Website Up. www.djkeefy.com
Autobahn Member # 6098	posted I'll have another look then.
WELSHLADYUK Member # 5356	posted Woww 250LE per night seems a VERY expensive ?......my entire flat only costs 900LE a month, you can stay at 5 star hotels with pool and all facilities for less than this. Are you sure that you have posted the correct 'per person' price here.

chami Member # 6572	posted looks tiny,hardly 5 star, but wish you luck
strangelookingnegro Member # 151	posted Now the pictures are WAY too big. Can't get them on the screen. You might want to use Microsoft Photo editor and reduce the size and the pixels in them so they load faster and you can see them when they do load. And please, get rid of the music. (IMHO)
thistle Member # 6024	posted Thanks for the feedback......we are going to change the size of the piccies, my partner likes the music so it may stay........when are you coming to visit Debbie, I would like your advice on a couple of things re the bed and breakfast!

Get other peoples reaction to the music and by other people, I mean westerners or YOUR CUSTOMER BASE. Egyptians tend to like that, but is your customer base Egyptian? This is sort of like what happened to me last night on the phone. I called Seif Pharmacy for a home delivery. They put me on hold and their hold music was that TOTAL CRAP mechanical music playing something stupid like Yankee Doodle Dandy or something equally as bad. I held for as long as a minute when I decided I could NO LONGER tolerate that music, so I hung up and called a different pharmacy. Now, with ON HOLD or websites, the point of music is to entertain and keep your audience with you, correct? If it annoys them enough to hang up or sign off, it's defeated its purpose.... right? I'm not saying take my word on this...about your music being annoying, but what I am saying is you should poll your target audience and see what they say... don't just listen to your partner because he happens to "like it". Sorry, couldn't stop in last time I was down that way. Will try to next time. You are the same as SOLUTIONS, right? If so I have your number.

My boyfriend is a Scot, will send him the website noo to check.. hopefully will come to Cairo this year for holidays, I am sure he would love to know that there are other Scots around and we don't kill tourists.. cheers..
akshar Member # 1680	posted I am sorry I couldn't take the music either. So I didn't go past the first screen. One thing to remember is that people browsing are often doing this at work. They do not want music to alert the boss that they are investigating their next holidya when they should be doing work. Also make your email addresses clickable.
nooralhaq Member # 5823	posted Bed & Breakfast on the Nile, sounds like a dream.

B] I don't have my speakers installed so I can't comment on this. But I also missed any contact information. I must say the price is fair (about 37 Euros per O/N) for any tourist visiting Cairo. Like to know whats up on your breakfast table?
