Sharm El Sheikh Travel Forum

We have been to Sharm el Sheikh for the past 3 years and are off again on 8th May. However until recently i did not even know there was a water park in Sharm!!!! In fact each time we go i say to my husband "I cant believe no one has put one in here!" so i am pleasantly surprised to discover that there is indeed one and that i believe the best is Aqualand and not Cleo?

My question is - does anyone know if First Choice do excursions there or is it something i need to do independantly? Im one of htese people that always likes to do things through travel reps rather than venture out alone but if i have to go it alone i will cos i love water parks!

It would make sense to ask First Choice themselves about Aqualand excursions (although my research suggests these are not commonly offered). But it's so near I suspect they wouldn't run an excursion: I bet your hotel will be able advise/book a taxi/whatever for you.

I also suggest you think moe about exploring independently. Tour operators tours are always, always more expensive than those available locally, wherever you stay. In places like sharm, aimed at tourists, there are always plenty of cheaper, and equally good, alternatives.

The Aqualand park must be really small because I had not even heard of it.There must now be 3 water parks in Sharm as a massive new one opened in the Hadaba area of Sharm at the end of 07 and contains the Aqua blu hotel.Entry is LE170(roughly £17).
