Sharm El Sheikh Travel Forum

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 Guys,

I'm pretty new to all of this and would like some advice, hints or tips.

I'lm going to be travelling to Sharm very shortly and will be travelling alone, IS IT SAFE ??

I've never travelled solo before and i'm just wanting a week of R&R if i'm honest, i've done Cairo, Sphinx, Pyramids etc before so just want to chill and don't plan on leaving my hotel. Do i have anything to worry about ?

Any advice would be greatly received.

Hi!
Can anyone recommend a good, clean budget hotel?
Is there anyone who has stayed at Cleopatra Tsokkos Hotel, the Bay View Hotel or Halomy Hotel?
Would you recommend it or not?

Cheers!

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.

how u was sayin about ruber sneakers 4 the sea is tht jus to walk in n swin n snorkle frm the beach and is there alot of jelly fish n fish tht cum quite shalow in the waters?

anyone going to sharm in feb?

Hi

Im one of these old fashioned folk, ok only 28 but still, who believe in learning a bit before i go anywhere.

Iv been to Cairo before but as I was staying with a friend of the family they sent there driver and he fixed everything at the airport, but on 11th feb Im taking my gf to Sharm. We both looking to dive and snorkel.

I read somewhere that we need a visa at airport if we want to dive, is this true, is it expensive and if we dont get it can it be sorted by the Hilton we staying at, as its through them our diving is organised.

Just to say also, Im planning a surprise on Valentines (not proposing, or should I?) I have been emailing front of house manger from Sharks bay who has sorted Breakfast in bed, Champagne, flowers and a meal alone on the beach to watch the sunset with our own waitor for an extra £150 which i think is great and i have to say what a nice guy he is, so very helpfull and it reminded me from my last trip there how amazing the folk are in Egypt, not like the dull, featurelss and unhelpfull folk we tend to get working in hotels here who seem very put out at the simplest request.

ooops, turned into a rant, sorry

Hi, My boyfriend and I are going to Sharm in May, we're staying at the Tropicana Sea Beach and I was wondering if anyone has been before and if so what was it like and if it is very far from the nightlife?

We are also wanting to go Quad-biking in the desert ~ will we need a visa to do this as I think we may need to go out of Sharm?!

Thanks people!

Hi Everyone

I have managed to persuade the OH to return to Egypt for a holiday, we are returning to Sharm where we visited together in December 2006, staying at the Renaissance Golden View Beach Hotel, which was out of this world.

This time the tight so and so wants to go All Inclusive and I have narrowed it down to a few hotels, which i would like your opinions on if you know them or have stayed at them.


1. Hilton Sharks Bay Resort
2. Laguna Vista Garden Resort
3. Hilton Sharm Dream Hotel
4. Baron Palms Resort
5. Reef Oasis Beach Resort Hotel
6. St George's 3 Corners
7. Tropicana Grand Oasis
8. Jaz Mirabel

If you know or have been to any of these hotels can you tell me a bit about them, nothing like personal experience I think.

Alternatively, if you have any other nice hotels which you think would beat the about please let me know also. Much appreciated x

Hi there
Looking to find out from people who have already been whether or not my kids, husband and I will need to have a visa to go quad biking while were staying in Nabq Bay in Feb?
Travel agent says we all need one BUT after reading LOTS! online it appears we wont...?!?! very confused. Also read that reps will try to pressure you into getting a visa at the airport, is this correct?
Never been to Egypt before so any advice would be appreciated about ANYTHING from Visa's to where the best shops are!!
thank you
