Re: sharm

Hi you wont get any history in Sharm! You can do a trip to Cairo or Luxor for that. Alot of the all incl hotels are rather remote eg Sharks Bay and you would need to get taxis or hotel shuttle into Naama.

Look at the hotels along the prom in Naama for beaches, a nice walk and location but these arent all incl. It is cheap to eat and drink. Hotels here are Marriott, Novatel, Hilton Fayroux and Jolie Ville.

In Egypt you will get what you pay for. You might think you have ound a good all incl deal but will end up disappointed and possibly get dreaded pharaohs revenge.

The Hyatt is lovely but not cheap either and just outside Naama.

Re: sharm

Have you thought about El GOuna... its still on the Red Sea, man made resort built on beautiful blue lagoons, ten hotels in total i think in the resort - absolutely fantastic. You have the choice of a romantic evening in the Marina area, or a stroll downtown/tamr henna where lots of outdoor entertainment going on. We just love it, and think its a million times better than sharm as its a hassle free resort - you can wander around without anyone in your face. Also transport, £2 per week for bus/sea taxi, £1.50 for a taxi anywhere in El Gouna, or 50p per person for a tuk tuk. Its a magical resort, and we are returning for the 4th time in three years at xmas! Ticks all our boxes for sure, its a little gem.

Re: sharm

Hi I didnt say Sharm wasnt the best resort - it is NOT for history. I didnt like Hurghada but each to their own. I love Sharm and have bought there but the areas are very diverse. There are lots of trips you can do. You can go to St Catherines, Dahab, Tiran Island, Quads etc etc.
