just wondering if its best to book trips from sharm to cairo online or when i get there?
also should i get my visa now or when i arrive?
any advice would be much appreciated

Hi all,
I have come across various sites on the net who provide transfers. I believe there is a shuttle bus that can take you to your hotel for half the price of a taxi. My holiday does not include transfer fees and would like to book one myself at the cheapest price. All forms of transport will be considered!!

Many thanks guys.

Hi all,
We are a party of 2 younge couples going to Sharm in mid October. We are new to Sharm so have no idea as to where to stay.

I have come across a hotel called Delta Sharm Resort which is close to Naama Bay, which we believe is the place to be for nightlife and nice beaches. The price seems very cheap considering that it is a 4* hotel. The reviews of Trip Advisor are mixed so we would consider this resort and make our own minds up for ourselves.

We are late 20's so nightlife is a must but nothing to tacky! Hotel with nice complex, clean pools, accommodation doesn't have to be 5*!!

We dont mind being hotel bound as long as the settings are right. We would consider going B&B/H/B to get out and about, this way we get to taste the local cusine/Sisha :o) and can please ourselves as to where we eat.

We aren't looking at spending a fortune on the holiday so will compromise on some things!
Generally how much is a 2course meal for 2 and how much are drinks when out and about.

Any recommendations on hotels would be great.
Many thanks for all help and advice.

Going to Sharm with boyfriend who is a professional diver but has never been there.
We are browsing places to stay and also diving centres.

I ask people who have been diving at Sharm to give advice on best diving centres (PADI) certified.

And also on accomodation regarding which beach is best.

Thank you,
Paula

HI,

We are hoping to go to Sharm in middle of october (for the lst time) we are looking at all inclusive (and hopefully not too expensive). Can anyone tell me if it is cheaper to book seperately, or as a package? Also can anyone recommend a good All inclusive hotel, with a nice beach? I have read that some hotels you have to get a mini bus, but if possible I would like to be beside the sea.

Many thanks

I've always gone all inclusive when i go to Sharm, now i fancy a change. I would like to eat out more in Naama Bay. I never really saw any apartments, most looked like hotels.

Could anyone tell me if there is any? Also, ones that can be booked through a UK travel agent. I.E Thomas Cook, Thomson etc...

Thanks in Advance :)

Has any one ever stayed in this hotel in sharm el sheikh and what did you all think to it and was there any bad points ?

I am a woman in my early fifties thinking about booking a holiday at the Hilton Sharks Bay. I just want to chill and sunbathe and have no intention of venturing outside of the resort. Will I be hassled at all? Any advice would be appreciated.

Just realized my intended visit to the Sinai fell during Ramadan. While I would still like to go during mid September I now question if it would be wiser to wait until the Holiday is over.

How is Sharm during the Ramadan holiday?? Is there much going on or will everything be closed?? Or, will I basically be confined to my hotel/resort?? I certainly do not want to offend anyone by being out and enjoying my holiday but would rather wait until another time to visit if my trip will be compromised.

Thanks.

Greetings, I am looking for a hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and am hoping to get some feedback on where I should stay.

As I will only be in Sharm for 3 nights I think location is central. Can someone reccomend a nicer (but not over-the-top) hotel that has a good beach and is walking distance to a lot of the shops and clubs?

Hi, I will be going there for last 2 weeks in August. I just wondered if anybody had stayed there or heard anything about the hotel? The hotel has only just opened so there arent any reviews or many pictures about. I think it is located in Nabq Bay. Thx.

We are coming to Sharm in Jan 09. My daughter and her friends are nightclubbers here in Manchester and would like some info on Pachas night club in Sharm. Is it in Naarma bay? How much can they expect to pay for entrance, drinks etc?
Any info would be helpful, thanks.

Hi all,
Considering a winter break of around 3 weeks over Xmas & New Year. What weather can I expect in Sharm?
If it is reasonably good weather can anyone recommend any reasonably priced accomodation. I will be travelling solo and prefer an apartment / room to a hotel.
Cheers,
TJ

Hi we are going to sharm in September and would really like to tale the trip to Cairo to see the pyramids etc. We are keen to do this by flight instead of bus. Could anyone give us a rough idea of the general sort of cost we would be looking at. Also if anyone has any idea of cost for the quad biking in the desert. Many thanks.
