Advantages: One of the best places for diving/snorkelling in the world. Garaunteed heat! Disadvantages: Too hot for some people. Not much to do if you don't like the sea.
...Let me start by saying this is the best holiday I've ever been on. However, I went for one reason only and that was scuba diving. In order to be able to dive you need to have completed your PADI Open Water Diver course. I reccomend doing this before you go on holiday so that you don't spend your vacation studying for it and learning in a pool. It's not hard to find PADI dive centres in the UK. If you go to Sharm-El-Sheikh for the purpose of diving you should go to a reputable dive centre. I reccomend 'Red Sea Diving College'
Anyway back to the review. Sharm is a great place for divers. It has an amazing coral reef, and quite literally millions of fish. If you don't dive, but are keen on swimming you can enjoy snorkelling, no lessons required and relatively cheap to buy the snorkel, mask and fins.

Advantages: Everything, sun, sand, fish, sea! Disadvantages: Sometimes the ppl are a bit hard to deal with, taxis
...Wow! What an amazing place! I went to sharm in July this year. With temperatures hitting 46 - 47 everyday it is certainly the place for sun lovers!
The atmosphere is amazing and the place is brilliant. We snorkelled (saw manta rays, hundreds of colourful fish etc), went to have dinner with the Bedouins in the dessert (Stars and Dinner trip through Thomson) and rode a camel. All of which were fab!
I have never such a good holiday and the only reason i was glad to be coming home was because it seemed to be getting hotter every day. I think that July is only a good time to go if you dont mond extreme temperatures. Im going again in May and am so excited!!
Be careful when using taxi's - only use the blue and white as others arent insured. Have a fab time!...

At first the colorful visuals and cute graphics make it seem like Viva Pinata is a game designed exclusively for children... wrong!. This game has much more depth to it that fist appears, with a deep strategy and unfolding story line.
