Welcome to the forums HOLIDAYLUVA.

While you wait for feedback here in this section, you may also like to check out or post in the TROPICANA GRAND AZURE topic in our EGYPT forum.

The EGYPT forum itself may already contain lots of information of interest to you, but I'm sure the regulars there will be only too happy to help with any questions you may have.

Egypt is not the most user friendly country as regards disabled access unfortunately. The Egyptiams will do all they can to help but ramped kerbs for example are a rarity . Hopefully someone will be able to help you out regarding the hotel as I haven't stayed there.

Are you aware that it will take around 6-7 hours by road to Cairo from Sharm each way? You would really need to stay over to manage to get a worthwhile experience of visiting the antiquities. By air would be better , but travelling back from Hurghada through Cairo to London disabled after an accident two years ago I had an absolute nightmare with zero help (despite flights being booked by my insurance company and medical needs specified in writing in advance). Lack of assistance in Cairo meant I then missed my connecting flight and I have vowed to avoid Egyptair at all costs after that particular experience.

Terrain around the pyramids is rough (no paths, gritty sand) but should be accesible with some care if your scooter is up to roughish terrain.. going into the pyramids will not be possible however with any sort of mobility restriction as passageways are sloped, steep and narrow (you have to stoop about 45 degrees to get through). The museum should be OK for a visit - there are definitely stairs but there is a lift inside. I'm sure someone can clarify that there is ramped access up to the museum from the road as there are 4-5 steps up as you enter the grounds.

Hi TAH-M, thanks for your reply, I don't think I will attempt to use my scooter, may as well leave it at home, it will spoil things for the rest of the family as I can only walk a few yards without resting, my OH said we'll take it slow, he's got that right lol.
It's the kids that want to do the pyramid's, I'll give it a miss, OH can take them.
After your info on the Cairo journey we are going to look for a fully escorted excursion staying 2/3 nights
taking in the places we want to see, we may also be able to go to the churches and markets if we stay 3 nights, I think I read somewhere that you can get a guide to take you the main market ? the only thing is we want to stay in the G Azure in sharm as it has a lot going for on for the kids, and it seems a bit daft paying to stay there 14 nights AI then paying to stay 3 nights in Cairo in the middle of the holiday, I don't think we're adventurous enough to plan a 2 centre holiday lol, the only time we have done that was cruise and stay, 3 days hotel 7 cruise then back to hotel for remaining 4 days, I'm not confident enough to go through Cairo airport and look for our hotel on our own, then go back to sharm,
bit of a wimp lol.
Thanks again Lynn

Hi David, thanks for that, we have only traveled in US, europe and cruises, never been to this part of the world so all info offered is great.
Thanks again Lynn
