Diamond review   The Charm Of Sharm
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by daylehall

Advantages: Friendly locals, nice beaches, family orientated, hot, good for diving
Disadvantages: Some of the locals can be pushy, sunburn!

...an 11 night stay in Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. Where is Sharm El Sheikh? Sharm el-Sheikh is probably one of the most popular places for people to visit in Egypt and it is certainly the most developed tourist resort. It is situated on the Sinai Peninsula. How Long Does It Take To Get To Sharm? The flight to Sharm takes just over 5 hours from any of the London Airports which isn’t too bad. Sharm Airport We were told before we went on holiday ...

Diamond review   Sharm el Shiekh - Dive in
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by kathryn.rosling

Advantages: Weather, diving, friendliness, hotel stds and price
Disadvantages: Adjusting to Arab culture and being pestered

...returned from Naama Bay in Sharm el Shiekh which could possibly be the best value dive resort in the world. This review is actually of Naama Bay the area itself and what it has to offer. I must quantify this by stating that the diving/snorkelling is my own personal experience. Personally I could never just go and lie on a beach for more than an hour or two (and 2 hours would need a very very good book!). The 'bucket and spade brigade' info ... Read review

...a hotel called the Conrad Sharm El Sheik in Egypt for a week from Monday 12th of June to the 19th of June.

Sharm El Bake! - My Experience
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by spunkyfish86

Advantages: Perfect tan guaranteed, memroable experience, cheap
Disadvantages: Constant hassling, precautions, unable to relax

...those advertisements now! I travelled to Sharm El Sheikh at the beginning of June with my girlfriend and our cliché ‘sun, sea and sand’ ideals. We arrived around 8pm to find it was still lovely and hot, and by the time we arrived at our hotel around 9pm it was still 32 degrees, and we were informed that it had reached 46 degrees during the day. Wow. Then came the guidelines that made this heat less than ideal: • Do no drink the water. It ... Read review

Sharm El Sheikh - Paradise?
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by showbiz0

Advantages: The weather, the people, the scenery, the hotel, the sea, the fish....
Disadvantages: Can get very hot in the summer period!

...on a family holiday to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. It was the first time we had been abroad for 4 years, the first time we had been on a plane for 4 years, the first time we had been to Africa - ever. All my life I had dreamed of going to Egypt, mainly Cairo to see the Pyramids, as I had always wanted to become an archaeologist. I collected souveneirs from Museums and shops relating to Ancient Egypt, an amazing period in the worlds history filled with ... Read review

Sharm el Sheikh
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by girlscanboard

Advantages: great weather for just a 5 1/2 hour flight, value for money
Disadvantages: hassle from shopkeepers

...was lucky enough to visit Sharm for free in March this year - one of the perks of being a travel agent is we occasionally get 'fam trips' which means we are taken to a destination and shown around numerous hotels and the sights so that we are able to sell it confidently when back home. These trips are really beneficial, and I think I certainly appreciate them more now I am self employed. So there was a group of about 10 of us and we visited about ... Read review

Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by redballoon

Advantages: Excellent for fish spotters
Disadvantages: Can get too hot in summer months

Sharm el Sheikh, located at the tip of the Sinai Peninsula, is known as the Red Sea Riviera of Egypt. Most of the hotels in Sharm El Sheik are five star resorts. Nearly all the hotels provide sports, beaches, excursions, activities, shopping, attractions and nightlife. Many of the hotels are situated on the beaches so you won't have far to walk to the sea. The sea is so lovely and warm. it's just like bath water, very relaxing. Sharm El Sheik ... Read review

Basking in the Red Sea
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by Tadders

Advantages: Year round hot weather, reasonably priced food & drink
Disadvantages: lethal taxi drivers, pestering shop owners, digestive issues!

Sharm El Sheikh is considered to be the wealthy part of Egypt due to the fact that it is the only part which has been specifically developed as a holiday resort and is the best place for locals to earn a living. There is no doubt that it is a beautiful place and, for the most part, very reasonably priced in terms of food and drink. It only really becomes expensive if you plan to do extravagant things like travelling to Cairo to see the pyramids, ... Read review

Everyone Loves Sharm el Sheikh
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by barneybrunodinomolly

Advantages: The Weather, Diving and the People
Disadvantages: The insects

We visited Sharm el Sheikh in November 2004 and we cannot wait to go back. When arriving at the airport be aware that you must pay for a visa - which costs around £12GB per person and ensure that your passport has been stamped. Collecting your lugguage from the carousel at the airport is an experience. Beware there are porters who will collect your luggage but expect to be paid even if you have been not asked him to do so. Keep your eyes open. ... Read review

The simplicity of sun, sea and sand
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by madhatter7880

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: none

...centre of all tourism is Sharm El Sheilk. It’s been made, keeping us tourists, in mind. You find everything you need, even though it’s in the middle of a desert. Everyone knows this is an Arab country, and Arabs are mega rich. The luxuries of 5 star hotels complexes, large shopping centres and entertainment are what as soon as you enter Sharm El Sheikh. Everything is very modern and well developed. Of course, there are smaller, more intimate hotels ... Read review

Sharm El Sheikh-Not just for divers!
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by maestro2001

Advantages: Great Diving, Quality Hotels, Variety of Activities
Disadvantages: Temperatures in the summer may be too high for some, Proximity of Hotels

Sharm El Sheikh is situated on he Sinai Peninsular in Egypt. It boasts the most amazing coastline that has been popular with divers since the early 1970's. These days even if you are not a diver there is still something to enjoy, be it spotting different sea life, sunbathing, parasailing, windsurf ing, quad bike riding or just to explore the magical desert landscape and go for tea with the bedouins. If you have ever though of doing your first dive-nowhere ... Read review

An hour from Cairo an eternity from reality
Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by kxa97

Advantages: Good for everyone, some of the best diving in the world
Disadvantages: packed in the holiday times

...still want to fly to Sharm at least once a year for the rest of my life. It's much more than just a resort. It has, in my opinion, the ideal mix of something for everyone. The diving has to be some of the best in the world with some great dive shops around offering deals from one shot dives, beginner courses to renting the equipment and time on the boat. You will probably find that you can get better dive tours from the UK where everything is included ... Read review

Review of Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) by steve0898

Advantages: Beautiful place, friendly service, good hotels
Disadvantages: Intimidating, too hot

...a two week break to Sharm mid-July this year, flying from East Midlands Airport the flight took a little under 6 hours. Upon arrival to the airport we were informed that the airport was a Military Airport and reps were not allowed inside the building, this scared us a little. After getting off the plane we were greeted by guards with rifles who escourted us to the arrivals desk where we were pursuaded to buy Visas for about £15 each. Take note, ... Read review
