For comparison, in the summer of 2009 we went to Egypt, to Hurghada, where we liked it much less. There are much more construction projects and the Arabs are more boorish than the Turks. Turkey is still considered a secular state, at least it claims to be. This, of course, does not mean at all that you can completely relax in dealing with the Turks.
