--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello

Im new to this forum normally go on Turkey one

Myself and my huby are going to Sharm next Aug for 2 weeks and need lots off advice


We staying at Coral Sea Resort Hotel got it's own thread http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=41951

To be honest im only going for me hubby has he is a keen diver he's done lots off dive's in Turkey Majorca etc and loves it, i am quite wary off putting my head under water let alone diving

Why? there's so much to see

He wants to do his Padi course while we are there were is best to book this? and what is there to for myself while he is on this course?

No Problem Hotel dive shop will be only to glad to help becareful about pricing a lo of dive shops do it in Euro's then convert

I love shopping and going to the market's is there any in Sharm?

Yes BUT there is so much tat be careful and HAGGLE if you like something

Also what is the best trip's to go on?

NOT THE DOLPHINARIUM

I do fancy seeing the pyramid's how far is it away from Sharm and how would we get there?

get up at 3am drive all day see them next morning :!:

If we got the Visa were is it that we would be allowed to go on it?
the Visa is for Sinai area out of Sharm I THINK you need another one for Cairo (Swiss will know)

How hot will it be in Aug? we like the heat so it aint a problem
Flaming hot loads of high factors even though it's on it's way down in temps as July is hottest month

Also im normally poorly with my stomach when im abroad i go through loads off immodium's i think its just the change off food
Is there any thing else i need to take medical wise do i need mozzie killers ?
Ive read lots off reports on here about people getting upset tummy's which i get all time is there any thing stronger for me to take other than immodium ? or do i just buy it over in Sharm?


Mozzies stuff yes

Immodium don't work
go to the local Pharmacist IF you need to
be descriptive as there are two types of upsets one with stomach cramps and one without and the remedies are very cheap compared to Over The Counter stuff in the UK

Take Care every one look forward to your reply's

Marion,

As you know I'm a Turkey regular too. Went to Sharm in April of this year and the weather was fabulous everyday. I'm reliably informed overall it's even warmer than Turkey so expect very high temps in August. Can't tell you much more as we stayed in the Hotel for a week (Concorde el Salam) to relax. Will say this though both the wife and I found the Egyptians couldn't do enough for you much like the Turks. Similarly, a wee tip goes along way and is very much appreciated.

Wilson :wink:

I was in Sharm August of last year and the daytime temp was AT LEAST 40c every day and very hot at night. The sea was incredibly warm too, bliss!

Pippy :D
