This year we were at the Dimina Coral Hotel, Sharm El Sheikh. Many families were with children up to one year old, and they felt very well. The food is excellent, children's seats were provided, the beach is huge and completely sandy, a kids club, animation, a huge green area, elevators, bus routes around the territory. Note. On the territory of seven hotels of different levels of comfort.

If your child adequately tolerates 4 hours of quiet sitting, for example, with a phone, cartoons, then you can go. There are planes and they fly for 5 hours, and flights are delayed, etc. (consider all possible factors)
We were 2 times in Hurghada in 5-stars. hotels, and 2 times they didn’t get sick, but they simply didn’t eat anymore, their stomachs stood, because. The food was cooked with tap water...
I advise you to read reviews about hotels and the latest ones, look at the negative ones more, there is a possibility that there are more imaginary positive writers, so as not to spoil the review about the hotel, we fell for such hotels ...
Take a more expensive hotel and of course, so that there are more entertainment nearby, otherwise your child will be bored. See also that there is a sea, otherwise there are shores in coral reefs, the sea leaves and you may not swim, but go for plankton 500-700 meters one way in the heat and even with a child it’s not high, it’s been tested on your own skin

I think that it’s not entirely right to drag such a small line where it’s not entirely right. Maybe even out of the best of intentions. Yes, and you yourself probably really want to relax. .For example, from Moscow to Thailand is a 9-hour flight - do you think this stops parents? Not at all.
You decide. But I can’t say anything about the hotel, I haven’t been to Egypt for a long time. I support those who advise reading reviews, especially those who traveled with small children.

I would hardly go to Egypt with a one-year-old child, or you need to know for sure a trusted hotel, the food there is a bit specific, and there are those who wash fruits and vegetables with tap water, which is then fraught with frustration. of those countries that we were with a child, I liked Turkey very much there and the climate is milder, the food is more familiar, when I was 1.5 years old we were in Spain, everything is gorgeous there, but Turkey is much more budgetary at the moment

I would like to know what kind of entertainment "next to the hotel" may be of interest to a child at the age of one year .... I personally do not find common sense. Why go out of the already cold with such a baby in the heat? and most likely for 7-10 days, which will not give any benefit. Now, of course, there will be many examples like "we were with a 3-month-old and he really liked it, and everything was fine." The choice to put your baby at risk or not is yours.

With children, a lot of people travel to Egypt and around the world. Egypt is not India in terms of sanitary conditions. It is quite possible to have a good rest, especially in a decent hotel.
I will try to advise hotels based on the totality of sanitary standards, food, beach and sea.
Sharm El Sheikh. Exclusively Pegasus has Le royale royal holiday resort 5*. The hotel is located in Naama bay, closed from the wind. New, all in marble. Lots of pools with depths from puddles for kids to normal depths. Water park only for its hotel guests with slides and small fry :) heated pools. Large territory. Great clean restaurant with good food. There is a separate table for children and several steam dishes. We didn’t like them, however, they taste, without anything at all :) There are excellent chefs, they can cook any dish upon request. The main thing is a smile. Private beach with fine white sand.
Soho has an excellent Sierra Resort 4 * hotel. The food is wonderful, the beach is large sandy, swimming with such a child near the shore to the coral is completely

I wouldn’t recommend Domina, we didn’t like the main restaurant at all, all seven hotels eat there at the same time. Total: noise, din, dirt.
See also Reef Oasis Beach, (warm bay), Sea Life, Sea Club, Sea Garden. (More windy). Consider when you want to go.

Hurghada. If you pull the budget, then Steigenberger al Dau Beach 5 * will be just gorgeous. Their second line is not so hot, do not look. Dana beach is also good. Both are German.

Of course it makes sense. Especially if you are traveling with a family. I have three children and flew with small ones, too, from a year old. Of course, it’s hard on the road, but it’s just super to relax on the sea. Bring your own cereals, jars, etc. so you don't have to feed local food.

The most difficult thing is, I think, organizing the baby for a transfer. It's really tiring for kids.. And it's no wonder to choose a hotel. Reviews are full.
And they need to be protected from the sun. And so that you don’t get poisoned carefully. And have a normal first-aid kit with you .. God forbid what .. My husband had a temperature of 40 there from poisoning .. And it’s not a fact that he got poisoned at the hotel .. I bought ice cream, ate it, my finger licked and the result is right there .. Carefully, you really need to fly in hot countries. Children have no immunity yet .. Everything is at the choice of parents ..

I wonder what it means to "like" when a child is three months old? If a child is with mom and dad, then he doesn’t care what country he is in. But such little children endure a long flight and even a sharp change in climate very badly. Think beyond yourself.

If you go with a small child, then this is already without common sense. Sunbathing is undesirable, you don’t really buy in the sea, constant whims due to the heat. What kind of animation for a one year old, they don't care. The difficulty of the flight, waiting at the airport airport, etc. Now I'm resting, people suffer even with 2-year-olds. For parents (for many), the rest ends, they are waiting for them to go home. The children's stomach is prone to infections, so the pool is dangerous, and it is not known how the body will perceive food. Don't travel until 3 years of age...

If you still decide, then go only to Turkey, where meals are organized, etc. for a child. For example, as a crystal family resort spa in Belek. They give children's yogurts there, a separate children's table, the climate is suitable

I don’t know what is the point of dragging a one-year-old with a sharp change in climate. For developing immunity, this is not recommended by doctors. Personally, my experience shows that a child from the age of 3 will perceive trips to the sea well and he will vividly remember them. So there is no point in dragging him to hot countries before this age.

Oh, it’s better not to go to Domino, it’s a budget hotel, of course it’s huge and there are places to take a walk, but with kids it’s better to go to quieter hotels. It all depends on your child. If you think that the child will not cause you trouble and you can not spoil your vacation. Ride boldly. But to go less than 2 weeks, I do not advise. This is a shake-up for the child's body and he, not having time to get used to the new country, will go back. But it’s worth getting ready for the train thoroughly. It is better to bring your own food. And the main criterion for choosing a hotel is food and the presence of a children's kitchen, a first aid kit is required. And of course, you should consult with your pediatrist))))))) The most correct choice of time is the end of October, the beginning of November. The most comfortable weather)) The sea has not yet cooled down, it is warm in the evening and the sun is in the afternoon.

If common sense, then no. Do not torture yourself, the child and vacationers. We read reviews for a one-year-old child, from different comments: 1 (If your child adequately tolerates 4 hours of quiet sitting, for example, with a phone, cartoons, then you can go) - to a year the child sits with the phone and watches cartoons? 2 (Take a more expensive hotel and, of course, so that there is more entertainment nearby, otherwise your child will be tormented by boredom. See also that there is a sea, otherwise there are shores in coral reefs, the sea leaves and you may not swim) - what kind of entertainment in the hotel for a one-year-old child. It's good if he recognizes his mother. 3 (Take your cereals, jars, etc., so as not to feed local food.) - and do not forget some water and milk and a first aid kit, etc. and. and. 4 (If you think that the child will not give you trouble and you can not ruin your vacation. Feel free to go.) - and do not forget to ask the child, you will not give us trouble? And he will say in a year, calmly mom, everything will be OK.
Didn't those answering pay attention that the child is a year old. All the best.

To go - not to go, it's up to you to decide. And IMHO - let it grow up, but if it's unbearable, then just not in September - it's still very hot. And this is an additional annoying factor for the child ... (considering the above).

We went last year to Hurghada in July with our daughter, who at that time was 1 year 8 months old, the hotel was far from first class (Golden Five). The daughter endured the heat perfectly (in Hurghada, in fact, because of the winds, the heat on the seashore is not particularly felt), she swam in the sea with pleasure, and most importantly, the only one of us all (were with my wife and eldest child 13 years old) never burned (smeared with a cream with a maximum degree of protection), did not get poisoned and did not get sick. But a very important point: then the daughter was still breastfed, although she ate something from the buffet at the hotel. Of course, you won’t relax much on vacation with a small child, but for a child, a trip to the sea is a plus anyway. As for acclimatization, we didn’t notice anything like that, we regularly take our daughter to the sea from 8 months old. Perhaps if you do not take the child anywhere until the age of 5, and then take it out, it will manifest itself ...

I just arrived with my 1.5 year old son. I ate mainly cereals that I took with me. With little ones it is better to go to Hurghada, there are no ups and downs. Entrance to the sea sand. I liked the Titanic beach5 for children, the table was excellent, even the cutlets were steamed. Children on the plane all sleep tired at the airport. Normally you can go in October until the end of November, then the windy season.

About hotels: Domina Coral Bay and Sea Group (Sea Garden, Sea Life, etc.) are excellent hotels for those who like to swim with a mask on the reefs, but not for children (there is no sandy entry into the sea). In general, it is better with children in Hurghada, especially if in the summer (it is not so hot there), if in Sharm, then it is better to choose hotels in Naama Bay.

I go with my daughter twice a year. Now she will soon be 6. The first time we went at 1 year and 1 month. A child of this age needs a sandy beach and that's it. For my taste, Caribean World Resort in Soma Bay is the best. The beach is luxurious, large area, lots of greenery. The food is normal, you can pick up something for the baby, but when I traveled with the baby, they took a lot of food for her in jars, mixtures and diapers for the entire period. It is better not to buy in Egypt - even if they are also called, they adapt to the locals, the child will need to get used to it. Be sure to apply a protective spray from the sun at 50. With a baby at sea in the morning, until 10-11, then sleep, then from 14 to 17. The most evil sun fell on daytime sleep.

There is a point, everything will be fine if you solve the issue of nutrition (the Muslim country does not have many products), otherwise all the conditions, and sunscreen, even acclimatization is not a big issue (my sister with an American medical diploma takes a child from 1 year to Ukraine from Florida, see the snow!!! Everything is in order!!!) But food is a problem, although I saw young ladies there from Russia and from Ukraine, Poland, Holland with children for about a year. I went there myself when mine was 3 years old!!! I can’t tell you the hotel in all of which I was, we didn’t use baby food, there were no problems, but entertainment for the 1st child, dad and mom should be enough !!!

Yes, sorry, I want to add, if you go until mid-October, then consider the hotel for food, if you later ask about the presence of winds (it can be very windy there, and at night they are already cold). And don’t worry about the rest, with normal care and nutrition, you won’t even notice them, and I know from my own experience, I went with my son from 3 to 8 years old, everything was fine (don’t go there, wait here, don’t stand there, went down the hill, move away from the descent, etc.), obeyed, played boches and other games together, at the age of 10, as it was cut off, barked at every step (it became independent), and at 14 from free Wi-FI in the lobby did not got out, and he didn’t really need the sea. So it’s better to travel with a child as often as possible before he becomes uninterested in swami !!! Then send them to children's camps, they will be better there with their peers than even in the most screwed-up hotel but with old (as they think) uncles and aunts !!! (This is how I read the previous answers)

I went to Egypt once in the company of a family with a one-year-old child. Everyone's holiday was ruined. The child took the flight very hard. I cried all 4 and a half hours non-stop. On arrival from food, everything did not suit him. Went looking for baby food. Everything they found didn't work. At night, the baby screamed from exhaustion all night. During the day in the heat he slept, then screamed. It was a nightmare. As a result, the child's mother's nerves were completely shattered. They quarreled with her husband. There is a child turned out to be completely, only drank water and juice with grief in half. Went to the doctor - no results. As a result, they changed their plane tickets six days later and flew away. Upon arrival, she called me and said that she got too excited that she took such a small one with her. We were in one of the top five in Egypt. I also want to note one more fact, mostly negative reviews about hotels are written very often by mothers who have rested with small children. On the nerves, they begin to look at everything and see a continuous negative. Of course the hotel becomes extreme.

My advice to you, if you really want to go with such a baby, then only to Europe. Yours is very small. Don't experiment. He is your one. In Egypt, you can catch a bunch of infections and this is a fact. There, adults now have nothing special to eat, and even more so for kids.

This question arises from time to time. Should I go to Egypt with children, especially small ones or not? So my grandchildren constantly rest with their parents and parents cannot imagine a vacation without them, we also travel with them. My granddaughter flew to Egypt at 8 months old and had a great rest, I repeat with her parents. They took food with them, bought some of it, the daughter-in-law agreed with the cooks and took some of the fruits from them and thoroughly washed them with drinking water. The girl arrived cheerful, there were no problems with her either there or upon arrival. My wife and I often visit in Egypt and see mothers with babies.
Regarding infections and other things. With such a child, of course, it is necessary to strengthen sanitation measures, wash the child many times, look after him, but how many adults catch infections and not only in Egypt. Norovirus walks in Turkey, and in Europe, and even on cruise ships. By the way, mine are going on a New Year's cruise to the Canary Islands on a liner and have returned from a trip to Slovakia and Austria.
