Sharm or Hurghada?
Hello. The question is probably banal: I'm going to Egypt for the first time, where is it better - Sharm or Hurghada ??? Animation and disco bars are not important, a good hotel and a good beach are important.
P.S. If this topic has already been raised somewhere, please give a link.

For me, a beach with a good coral house reef is also important. Moreover, I don’t like to go down the pontoon in the sea.
For 8 times staying in Yegi, for me the Braika Hotel in Marsa Alame is in the first place, it is 3.5 hours drive from Hurghada.
In general, it is very difficult to find a hotel to your liking - to like everything - the beach, the corals, the service staff, and accommodation.

What is a good beach?
Is the pontoon good?
Good hotel? What do you mean?
Marsa Alam is out...
аватар werty
Is everything closed in Marsa Alam?
аватар krimchanin
The beach is sandy, with a sandy entry into the sea, a pontoon is possible, but not very long, a hotel with good food and not too noisy

Again, what category of hotel, there are hotels with sandy
a lagoon and a coral reef nearby, and in fact on the Red Sea the thrill of swimming in corals with beautiful fish. Give some slides, others discos. And this topic is almost constant, read at least on this
topic here questions and answers.

"good food and not too noisy"
The Ritz Carlton in Sharm is a good hotel. Food, not noisy.

There is no sand...
There is very little sand in Sharm...

REEF OAZIS-in Sharm. Sharm is a tour city built for recreation for tourists. Beaches are more often coral-e, at prices more expensive than Hurghada. then hotels were built along the first coastline. If for the first time a good hotel and the price is right for you, then any resort.
аватар papa74
"at prices more expensive than Hurghada" - there are no identical hotels to compare unambiguously. But these are all conventions.
According to the SPO, you can fly to Sharm cheaper than Hurghada.
Personally, I recommend Sharm.
I was in Hurghada only once, now only as a transit to Quseir or Marsa ...

I agree with you papa74

Consider hotels in Makadi Bay (Stella Makadi 5 *, Tia Heigts 5 * , Al Nabila 5 * , a complex of 7 Madinat Makadi hotels), there are many good hotels in that direction.
Drive 2-30 minutes from Hurghada.
There is also a good hotel in Hurghada - Citadel Azur 5 *.
аватар krimchanin
The travel agency also advised me Makadi Bay, as for a relaxing holiday

Charm is always better for me. the sea there is better than in Hurghada. well igorod is better. well, a little more expensive.
Hurghada has more sandy beaches and more mothers with children. well, there are more Slavs, many live there "married".
аватар nadin65
For me, Sharm is also better, but if the beaches are closed, you need to know where to go for a calm swim.
In Sharm, the sea is very beautiful.
For the first time, you can go to any resort in Egypt, we were in Hurghada for the first time - also like in paradise! =)
аватар Lena_Elena
Wow, can't even compare. The sea is really beautiful in Sharm. In Hurghada, like the Mediterranean. Hotels need to see everything.
аватар Dreamer_0x01
And why Marsa Alam disappears, what happened there? And then I don't know.

....."I'm going to Egypt for the first time"
аватар Dreamer_0x01
So what, what's the first time? In Fantasia I met two companies of young people who were traveling for the first time. Insanely satisfied. But here was just the case when people were clearly aware of where it was and why they were going there, and not on a direct flight.
аватар Zlata28
this topic has been brought up so many times
that probably there are not enough fingers on both hands))))))))
didn't come up with anything
for those who appreciate Hurghada with foam at the mouth prove their case
those who like Charm - desperately argue with the first
and so on in a circle dozens of times
but the truth ... everyone has their own
аватар Zlata28
it's all so individual
and largely depends on what type of recreation is preferred
for example, we like "civilization" to be close
and that excellent snorkeling is a must
therefore, having visited Sharma and Hurghada and Mars
finally convinced that for us only Charm
аватар AlexL
There are good hotels and beaches both in Sharm and in Hurghada.
аватар nadin65
"P.S. If this topic has already been raised somewhere, please give a link." - that was discussed! And now try to decide for yourself!
I'm also wondering what will you choose?

аватар krimchanin
nadin65, thanks for the link, I read it, I think that I need to visit both there and there, so that there is something to compare with later
аватар nadin65
krimchanin - I agree 1000% =)), ;))
I was at several resorts in Egypt, it’s good to relax everywhere !!!
Each resort has its pros and cons.
The only thing you don't have to start with is Marsa Alam, Safaga and Taba. Because you will not experience the real Egypt. The hotel and the sea, yes, but the color of the market and communication with the local population is a little tight.
Therefore, I recommend Hurghada (a hotel closer to the city, or in the city itself) and Sharm El Sheikh (but not in Nabq for the first time).
You are going to try local fruits, and buy souvenirs, tea, hookah - for this you need to close the market (city)
аватар alex45
I don’t believe that the Red Sea is like the Mediterranean in Hurghada. Everywhere there can’t be its own charms and categoricalness. You need to visit both there and there to compare, and even the Seychelles here and tell you where it’s better.
аватар vika888
Of course Charm ... favorite!
аватар krimchanin
In principle, to Safaga, Taboo, Mars, Dahab, etc. I didn’t want to, because it’s far from “civilization.” And I also heard over Nabq Bay in Sharm, it’s windy and current. So I’ll heed the advice that was given here. Thank you.
аватар Lena_Elena
alex45 I visited both there and there. Therefore, she expressed her opinion. In Hurghada, apart from fish that look like herring, I have not seen it. The same are found in the Mediterranean. But in Sharm, there were apparently all kinds of fish. And there is no categoricalness here. I just wrote that it is not possible to compare, because everything is different.
аватар alex45
Probably in the sea near your hotel, Lena, there was no coral reef, so you saw herring, and nothing else, I’ll offhand call you a dozen hotels where there are reefs, the same beauty as in Sharm. That’s why I was surprised by your opinion about Hurghada. The sea, after all
one, Red. In the future, I recommend that if you are in Hurghada, visit the Sharm El Coral Reserve
Naga, there the unafraid fish around you will arrange dances, however, it is difficult to get there, but it
worth it.
