truthfully....Egypt.

Much as I love GC..there is better diving in Egypt, hotter weather (although GC can get hot) and better history..although due to size, GC is better to explore.

I have posted my answer in Egypt thread too.

OK
Been to GC - Puerto Rico
been to Sharm (Sharks Bay / Neamma Bay /El Hadaba and Ras um Sid)

So I'm a little biased but both places are completely different holidays in terms of style and price

GC is more compact and easier to get round -- well I would hire a car there

Sharm is an active holiday base obviously Scuba is like nothing you can find in GC and there are lots of other activities available there but if you want history it's either a very long coach trip (St Margaret's Mount) or a plane flight (Pyramids) away and there is no way I would hire a car there at all.

The only way to pick what YOU need from a holiday is go to both and take YOUR pick ---- us we will be back in Sharm when I'm fit enough

Sorry - I forgot to post on here.

We have booked Luxor for next March which seems to tick all the boxes we needed to tick.

Thanks for the comments though.

Lady, much as I'd love to - I'm booked for a week in Luxor in March, Rhodes in June and 2 weeks in Turkey in September.

Not sure work will let me have any more leave!! ;)
