We are going to Egypt in the middle of November.
We're going for the first time. Tell me the resort of Egypt is comfortable at this time of the year. I would like to sunbathe and swim in the sea, and not in the pool. Good access to the sea and diving is desirable. We will be grateful for your help in finding a good 4*+ or 5* hotel. Everything is important, and the weather, and service, and good food, and the proximity of interesting excursions. Thank you very much in advance!

The weather at this time should be comfortable in all resorts, although by the end of the month the beginning of winds is already possible. Pools can also be cold and you don’t really swim in them. For diving choose Sharm.
In order to have good impressions about Egypt and you want to come again - choose a hotel with a good sea (deep) - Ras Um Sid Bay or Sharks Bay. And the easiest way to choose a hotel is by reading reviews. Print out the map of the hotels. Find these bays, choose a couple of hotels and read well. If the hotel has a lot of reviews - it means it is popular and spend the percentage of bad and good. If there are a lot more good ones, you can go, but the fact that there are bad ones is normal. Take a close look at what people were picky about, maybe it's just emotions and the inability to relax even on vacation.
For example, from the good ones where I or my relatives were - Savita, Sunrise Island View, Amforas, Oasis Reef, Pharaana Club, etc.
- they are not far from the city and their coral reefs are excellent. Excursions Cairo - Pyramids, Israel, Jordan - Petra, Mount Moses....
You can go to Hurghada, but there is no such beautiful and rich sea. The best tour there is Luxor - it's just a bomb.

If you go to Hurghada, it is better to choose hotels near the city between Grand Beach and Le Meredian. Download the map from i-net. If you get caught in the wind, these hotels are the most protected by the city from the wind and are close to the city and the airport. In addition, there is a good entry into the sea - sand and near the Siva Grand Beach hotel there is a spit that goes far into the sea. It's cool to wander knee-deep in water and the water is 5 degrees warmer. There are many hotels from 2 to 5 stars. Siva is super, if the lack of Russian-speaking vacationers does not interfere. There are no corals near the shore, but it takes 15 minutes to get to them by boat and you can swim and see enough. Have a nice holiday.

The weather should not let you down - the wind season has not yet begun - you can go to any resort. For diving it is better to go to Sharm, for the sandy entrance to the sea, to Hurghada. The choice of the hotel is yours - read the reviews and go ahead - on vacation. I agree with 999919-Ras Um Sid Bay or Sharks Bay, take a closer look, everything is ok there.

I agree with 999919. Go to Sharm if you are interested in diving, there is no such beauty on the territory of the hotel in Hurghada. There is also a new and promising resort of Marsa Alam, very suitable for diving. The area is not yet very famous among tourists because of this, the coast has not yet been touched with the cleanest sea and a rich marine world. Almost all hotels are new, the staff is trying, with good service and spacious rooms.

Last year they were from November 15th to 30th. The most windy season. Still very hot. But the wind is strong. Not very cold. We liked the sea, although it was cool, but we swam in the middle of the day with might and main. Evenings are still quite warm. But in the morning and afternoon strong wind. In general, they were satisfied.

In November, at any resort in Egypt, good weather conditions. For the beauty of the underwater world, go to Sharm.

All advice is correct. There is nothing to add. Judging by the fact that you are going for the first time, you are not divers. If there is a desire not to be limited to a hotel bay hand in hand with an instructor, it is better to go through a full-fledged training in advance in Moscow and receive a certificate. It's healthier too. 5 days and about 7000 rubles. Then in Sharm, any dive club will take you on any underwater excursion. This is a completely different experience. If you're interested, I can go into more detail. Enough time until November.
