Sharm El Sheikh Travel Forum

Hi you guys! I was hoping someone could help me... I'm planning to have my wedding in November in Sharm, however considering i've never been there I'm a little worried. Does anyone recommend a hotel that I could contact where I could have the wedding at? all the pictures on google look amazing, but I don't know if that's what they really look like or it's just a marketing ploy!

Also if anyone knows any reliable (well priced) wedding planners can you please let me know? I won't be able to be there all the time to watch every minute of the planning and I need someone who is reliable to take care of all the little details.

As always thanks you guys! I'm always here for any UAE questions :0)

I'm staying at the sealife hotel in aug with my boyfriend just wondering quite a few things-
Hotel- Has anyone stayed here before what's it like?
TRIPS- What trips to go on who to book with i.e is my rep the safest option? and the cost? would like to swim with dolphins, snorkeling, diving, quad biking, camel rides anything exciting really.
CLOTHES- I have read things about covering up whilst there or is that in certain places. If so what clothes will be acceptable (not like i'm going to be naked just wondering about the bikini situation) :)
TIPS- How much do you tip and who do i tip? Are the men ok with blondes read bad things.
INJECTIONS- Do we need any before we go? The best medication to take with us?
MONEY- How much should we take for 2weeks and do we change all of it?

Think thats about it sorry for all of them quite worried only ever been baleric island before. Anything else you can think of that i should know please tell me thankyou in advance.

Thinking about Sharm El Sheikh in December, what is the weather like and is it advisable to go all inclusive or bed and breakfast?
Thanks

Am hoping to go to either Sharks bay or Namma bay in August this year (holding on to get a late deal if we can), but would like some advice on what people think of these and which they would reccomend?

I am thinking Sharks Bay as it will be less manic and touristy from what I have read about Naama, but I have also read that there is not much to do in Sharks Bay, although some of the reviews were quite old.

What are the nightlife, resturants, shops, bars, attractions etc like in Sharks Bay? We will be going for two weeks and are hoping to dive and take a couple of days out to see the pyramids but would like to know that there will be enough to keep us occupied day and night for the rest of the holiday if we stay in Sharks Bay.

Has anyone been recenlty and can tell me what you thought of either?

Thanks, Sadie

Me and my girlfriend have booked up for 2 weeks in sharm el sheikh in july. Our accomodation board is bed and breakfast. However, we are really unsure as to how much spending money we will need. All we are looking to bring is enough to pay for meals and a couple of drinks. How much is a safe amount to bring? Many thanks

Does anyone know the above hotel in Naama bay? - 6 of us are staying there at the end of August for a week. I can only find reviews and info about Falcon Hills and Falcon Viva which are in different locations. I would like to know what it is like if anyone has been there also its location to the centre and the beach.
many thanks

Does anyone know how much a taxi from the Airport to the Ras um Sid area (near Motel Street) should cost. We are staying at the Sol Y Mar Sharming Inn. We usually get a free transfer but Numpty here didn't read the small print and it looks like we have to make our own way to the hotel!

Hi There,

We are a group of 3 thinking of travelling to Sharm El Sheikh. We are currently in Cairo and some of the locals told us it is extremely expensive. However we heard that there are world class dive sites in Sham and we really want to go there to do a couple of dives.

Can someone advise if there are any accomodation (as long as it is safe and convenient) in sharm that is near the sea and dive operators. Also how much would it cost us to do a dive?

Thanks a lot!!

Regards
Dying to go Sham

I am going to Sharm in May, meeting my mother there.

I am looking for some advice in term of the hotel. I am debating on being in Naama Bay or Sharks Bay. I found a nice hotel, reasonable as price, in Sharks Bay (Concorde El Salam). I was wondering if it is worth to stay out and comute every night to the center...Did anyone stay in Concorde el Salam?

Another choice is Hilton Dream Resort in Naama Bay.

Any advice about hotels?

Also is all inclusive necessary? Would a breakfast and a night out in town work better? In terms of prices for drink next to the pool, etc...

Thanks a lot!

Hi!
Can anyone recommend a good, clean budget hotel?

Would you recommend it or not?

Hi,


I have just booked and paid for a 7 night all inclusive holiday at the Baron Palms Hotel travelling next month. On the invoice I received today there is a note about a brochure errata that there may be be building work going on. Does anyone know if there is any building work going on, in or nearby this hotel? Needless to say if I had been aware of any work going on I would have booked an alternative hotel. When I made my booking over the telephone with the travel agent there was no mention of any building work. I would be grateful for any info.
Thank you in advance for your help.

can i buy nappies and baby food in nama bay?
