Hi people
I've read quite a few post which are quite informative. but was looking to get an all in one thread going for things recommended to do in a 7night Stay.
Me and the missus gets there 3rd December to stay in the Movenpic Jollie Resort and Casino
Firstly does anyone have any websites of Sharm's own excursion operators?
Secondly Can anyone recommend a good operator for Quad Biking for cost, time and good guide?
Can you Hire Motorbikes over there?
Is there anything people have to recommend a must see or do in a 7 night stay? would love to go to Cairo but will have to see on the time and cost factor.
Any Replies will be much appreciated.

A sunset cruise would be a 'must' for me having done one in August :wink:

See my review of the Conrad for details.

A 'must not' would be a visit to Dolphinella. Some TOs are still selling it apparently :evil:

Cheers pippy thats the sort of advice i'm after.
You haven't got any websites that operate the Sunset cruises or is it best to just get there and book.
It would be great to just to see what we have to look forward too.

Not sure which TO you're travelling with but we booked ours via First Choice. I imagine all the TOs operate a similar cruise though.

Cruise price info in my review HERE (mine's currently about the fifth review down). I don't know if there's a website through which you can book/preview but you'll find loads of the cruise photos in my 2007 Sinai holiday set HERE. It was a most enjoyable few hours!

bikes etc

if you must go qualdbiking, take old clothes and long sleeves with you..... have seen some horrific graze injuries from the bikes...
Motorbikes can be rented, but the roads are crazy....... not for the inexperienced....

When we went quad biking we went into the mountains and only went on the road for 5 mins, we spent 6 hours on a quad with refreshment stops and a buffet, great fun, you dont really fall over as they dont go that fast, kids were riding them, you travel in a convoy and were quite cheap to go on through the rep - thomson.
