Sharm el Sheikh

I recently went on Holiday and stayed in the resort of Naama Bay Sharm el Sheikh. I was very excited as we got a fantastic deal, we paid £482.50 each for a week all inclusive including in-flight meals and transfers with Thomas Cook. With the recession many people are opting to go to non eu countries and Egypt seems to be more popular than ever. ***Weather*** HOT! HOT! HOT! ***Hotel*** We stayed at the 4 star Tropitel Naama Bay and you couldn't ask for a better situated hotel. As soon as you walked out the doors everything is on your doorstep. The complex was huge and has 4 pools, but you have to get up early to get a sunlounger. For a ...  Read the complete review

Egypt was my first ever holiday abroad in 2008 and I will try to provide you with as much information as I possibly can.. Sharm El Sheikh is definitely an upcoming new holiday spot, with more and more people visiting it each year. It is sometimes considered as North Africa or the Middle East due to it's location but it definitely is Africa. Located in Southern Sinai on the Gulf of Aqaba, it's roots are that of a small fishing village. It began development in 1982 and is continuing today, you will notice that it is about half way there in terms of development. It contains the following sub towns, Nabq Bay, Ras Um Sid, Ras Mohammed, Na'ama Bay and a ...  Read the complete review

I went to Sharm El Sheikh 27/08/2009 - 10/09/2009. We booked this holiday a year in advance as Thomas Cook was promoting a special "egyptian week". £650 per person for two weeks in a 4* holiday (incl breakfast). This has definately been one of my most favourite holiday locations. - Egypt Egypt is a very hot country. We visited in late August when it was supposed to start cooling (apparently). It was 40 degrees ++ & evenings were often 30-34. Stepping off the plane I nearly fainted! At the airport prepare to queue, you have to fill in medical forms and also at the time we had to declare any symptoms relating to Swine ...  Read the complete review

I went to sharm el sheikh july 2009 with my boyfriend. We paid £415 each, through teletext holidays, who had ripped us off a bit, as advertsied lower and kept adding on standard costs. But £415 each for 3* all inclusive did not seem bad at all. We flew from London Gatwick, to Sharm el sheikh airport, took around 4 and a half hours. At Airport you have to cue for ages and full out medical forms, they also try to sell you a visa, which you do not need if staying in Sharm. From Airport we got a taxi to hotel, in Naama bay, was £5 english 200 egyptian. RIP OFF! (at time 100 egyptian approx £12.50). Hotel was okay, I'll see if I can review that in ...  Read the complete review

We travelled to Sharm el Sheikh in April this year. I had always wanted to visit Egypt, the different culture, the weather, the landscape, so when I saw 2 weeks in a 3* hotel for £510 a person flying from our local airport I was there like a shot. ~Background~ What I did not know about Sharm el Sheikh before going is that is a planned resort town. Before the 1970s there was almost nothing there. Egypt's government then decided to create a tourist hub to try to tap into the market for exotic travel by Europeans. Sharm is basically a sprawling expanse of hotels, along with shops, cafes and restaurants to serve the hotels. No Egyptians live in Sharm ...  Read the complete review
