Please advise a good hotel in Hurghada or Sharm.
Please advise a good hotel in Hurghada or Sharm. There are several questions that I would like to get answers to. When is the best time to go - December or January-February (what is the weather and prices like there). .I would like to go on excursions in addition to a good sea and beaches. Where should I go? The hotel is better than 5 *, but you can also 4 * (if the price is significantly different, and the conditions are good). How much will the rest cost for 2 adults?
I will be very grateful for the answers!

If you have free access to the Internet at hand, then first read different reviews about these two cities, about the sea that is there, about entertainment, about excursions that you can make from these cities. THOSE. Decide for yourself first with the city, and only then ask about hotels. It is very difficult to answer your question, since you need to write a whole novel. And the weather is different in the winter months, and because. If you are going only for a week, it is very difficult to make a forecast. I was in December, I was lucky it was not windy and hot, my sister went - the wind was terrible, the sea was stormy, etc. a lot of examples, but definitely - if you want to go, then go when it suits you. On all sites they write - the coldest month is February, and February of this year was relatively warm. Prices change (grow) with each season, the season in Egypt will begin in October, and only after that it will be possible to somehow predict the price for the winter.
Right now, for two for a week, about 800-1000 dollars per week all inclusive (4-5 stars), and what will happen in the fall ..... and then in the winter ....

Don't listen to anyone. How many people have so many opinions.
When choosing a tour, I do this:
1. I get ahead of time. In Egypt, December-February is the low season (except for Christmas Eve).
2. Tour budget.
3. I look on the net for special offers from leading operators (Teztour, Mostrevel, Pegasus)
4. Having selected a dozen hotels somewhere, I read reviews on them.
I have been to Egypt 5 times in different hotels and resorts and never made a mistake

Good sea - decide what it means to you, for example, there are more corals in Sharm, and in Hurghada almost all beaches are without pontoons. Of the trips, if you are traveling for the first time, - Luxor and Cairo. But keep in mind that if you have only a week, and excursions take almost a day with the road. From Hurghada closer to Luxor. Good luck!

Thank you very much for your advice! I think that we will go to Hurghada. For me, the beach matters (I want sand and a convenient entrance to the sea). But we are also going to swim and dive (especially my husband). Therefore, we need both fish and corals ... :) We are going to Egypt for the first time , and since we will relax at sea with a child in August, then for me in Egypt it is important not so much the sea as educational excursions (I really want to go to Giza and Luxor). But if the weather is bad and the cold sea is also not good :(. We will be content with the pool (if only it was heated). We are not picky, but we would like good food (with meat, seafood, fruits ... :). I read good reviews about the Sofitel hotel, I also liked the pictures. tormented ... Maybe someone else will advise which hotel (according to our requests :). Thank you!
And yet - how realistic is it to invest for two in 800 USD (without excursions). And how much do the excursions themselves cost?

Thank you, 999919! I also doubted very much about 800-1000 from one :))).
Friends last year spent 1500 for two (4 *, All). And this year the prices have risen :(.

A good time to relax is the end of October, November (when viewed in the autumn period). In December, closer to the second half, the evenings are cool, you need to wear warm clothes (jacket, trousers). prefer (calm, maybe with parties). From the excursion, it’s definitely the pyramids, because how can you visit Egypt and not see the pyramids. It’s better to fly by plane, it’s not so tiring, and there is less time on the road. You can also go to Jerusalem. (If the budget allows). (you will not regret).

December, January, February are the coldest months, even in Egypt. You are guaranteed not to get a warm sea at this time of the year. This period should be considered only for the sake of excursions.

We rested last year from January 7 to 14. The sea was 24 degrees, and you can’t swim in the pool - almost everywhere (except for some hotels) the water is ice cold. We go 2 years in a row, I liked Sharm el-Sheikh more. But to Luxor from there only by plane, but you can go to Israel for 1 day, very interesting, 180 ye per person. At the expense of prices, 800 for one is about the standard price, although we flew to 4 * last year for a burning price of 500 for two with all-inclusive meals and a 3-room suite)).

If you eat for the first time, then I advise you to go to Sharm in Hurghada for corals, fish you need to go. We rested with the children for the 1st time and did not regret anything. Look at Hauza Beach4 +. On the first coastline. from the shore and from the pontoon, the beach is sandy, there are several slides, a heated children's pool, the food is very good (similar to our cooking, the children ate without whim)

Better go to Hurghada, from there you can go to Luxor. And whoever has not been to Luxor has not been to Egypt!!! There is a Alf leila wa leila 4* hotel in Hurghada. the rooms themselves leave much to be desired (but normal), but the hotel itself is fabulous, in the style of the city of Aladdin)) very beautiful, and the food is good, the service is good

I agree with all the previous answers, and specifically for hotels, I would advise you Sofitel in Hurghada, and Soncord in Sharm (both). These are, so to speak, options for a good price / quality ratio. Look at the reviews of these hotels and you will see for yourself.

Alf leila wa leila 4 *, we really liked it, we were there in December 2007, very, very happy! June 2008 we were at the hotel "Golden Fife Paradise 5*", they said that one of the best on the coast, alas, the first one was much better!

Since I am a fan of Hurghada, I will advise her :) From hotels, I would really recommend Sifitel, very good 4 *, can compete even with some 5 *. I would not recommend Alf Leila Wa Leila, as the hotel is on a good 2nd line. If you look at the map of Hurghada, it is very far from the sea.
