It will be more comfortable in Sharm. But for comparison and to see another city, you can fly to Hurghada. But we were always discouraged, since Hurghada is a city with a local population, and Sharm was built only for tourists and is located on the Sinai Peninsula, and the Egyptians can only work here with a work visa. Therefore, there are only those of them who came to work and the resort is safer and calmer.
Sharm has better hotels and infrastructure.
Saying that it's better to fly to Hurghada for the first time, and then to Sharm, and if it's the other way around, then many are disappointed later.
But it all depends on the hotels and your preferences.

In Hurghada, I consider it a plus that most of the hotels are in the first line + there are more beaches on the territory than in Sharm, there is a local population, but not the same color as in Cairo, plus tourist police booths are often found, and the city is also touristic, on checkpoints at the entrances. Of the minuses on the territory of the hotel are reefs or very small and poor + visa is paid. And so, it is better to choose a hotel with a study of real reviews, as there are good and bad hotels in Hurghada and Sharm.

In Hurghada, there is a dead coral and a visa for $ 25, my friend was exchanged dollars for fakes in the safe and you can’t prove anything, she bought at the bank. The choice is yours ...

By the way, speaking with the local Egyptians in Hurghada, there are very few people living there permanently, the rest live in other places and come to Hurghada to work on a rotational basis.
There are live reefs in Hurghada, but not every hotel. It is better to look for such hotels with reefs in the south of Hurghada (Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, etc.).
And theft - it is everywhere and that fool is to blame for profukala, I never trusted anything in hotel safes.

I think Hurghada Lusha and service in Hurghada and hotel meadow than charm I work in charm and Hurghada and I know where Lusha is. Just the charm of a great Resort and Hurghada city. Mole mole But in Hurghada Okla 150 Hotel and in Hurghada comfortable rest. And there was no time in Hurghada. I will marry you Hurghada. See what kind of hotel. Lida in Sahl hashish or makadi.

lotos2500, about the coral is a moot point, even in Sharm not every hotel has "awesome", and if on the second or third line, then without a reef at all;) . And if a person flies immeno for good diving and snorkeling, then I doubt that he will dive near the hotel reef. And for this it is not necessary to sail on a yacht, there is a Sharm El Naga reserve near Hurghada, I personally liked it, my wife, swims poorly and not really likes to dive, after looking at the pictures from the action camera during lunch, she also decided to dive using me - she put on a snorkel mask and dived, and I took her in tow (I drag my equipment to Egypt, in which there are excellent fins) and dragged it all over the reserve, she’s like the hater was delighted. And about theft in hotels, I agree with alex45 in Sharm they also steal, even worse. the prices are +/- the same for everyone) or shopping souvenirs (I don’t see the point in delaying until the last day), leave a change (preferably in pounds) for seafood fruits, and a card in reserve.
PS I don’t promote Hurghada, I also like to relax in Sharm, but I don’t really like the small beaches of Sharm + horse prices for the first line

If you go for underwater beauty, you can choose places in Sharm and Hurghada, but there are more of them in Sharm.
I agree that good reefs are not everywhere in Sharm, and sometimes they are not, such as Dessole Seti.
Theft - Carry all personal belongings with you. Opening the safe or the room is NOT A PROBLEM.
Somewhere it was written that 3000 Ue was stolen and ATTENTION 35000 hryvnia .....

Agree with namesake! Sharm el-Naga - I consider it one of the best coral reserves in Egypt. And it is near Hurghada. True, few people know about it. Maybe for the better, otherwise, instead of fish, only the legs of people would be seen. There, after all, the reef starts from knee-deep depth, my wife arranged a round dance with fish in shallow water.
Yes, from Hurghada, if you like antiquities, closer to Luxor, see the Karnati Temple and the Valley of the Kings.

Yes, still namesake! I don’t know, but sometimes you want to get up and swim early from the hotel beach to the reef to swim with the fish.
Maybe you know? Sharm, Hadaba, shores of hotels in the bay of Ras um Sid from Phanara beach to the Farsha cafe. There are several hotels and a common, very good reef. Yachts sail from other areas of Sharm so that their tourists dive there.
аватар Alex714
alex45, I take hotels where there is at least a poor reef from the points, but I was present, even in Hurghada there are such, otherwise it’s understandable, you won’t ride through reserves and yachts every day;)
In the Hadaba area, there was only a 5 * resort in Dream Beach.
I want to fly to Marsa Alam next time, I have never been, but people praise the marine flora and fauna.

"Yachts sail from other areas of Sharm so that their tourists dive there." By the way, or maybe they were, when they sailed on a yacht, I remember, they wanted to go to a sunken ship on one of the sea excursions, but the sea was stormy, and the captain us along the coast, along I rode reefs, there were three stops with a dive. Oh, I’m sorry that I got an action camera late.

And we drove from Nabq to the Old Market, across the road we went to the beach, and then walked to the exit from the bay for 20-25 minutes, God, how many beautiful fish there are !!! The water was boiling! Our hotel did not have its own beach; we rested in Domina for a year, the reef is good there and everything else too, I mean food and cleanliness.

Just for fun, I want to ask - what's the point of taking a ticket to hotels that are far from the sea and do not have their own beach.
I can’t imagine how to be on the beach not to drink as much as you want, beer, drinks, etc., when you want to leave or come, and if you forgot something at the hotel? There are a lot of budget hotels without these difficulties.

Feel free to fly to Hurghada, I monitor prices for myself and see that prices for similar hotels in Sharm are $ 100-200 higher than for hotels of the same class in Hurghada, so $ 25 savings on a visa is like a carrot for a donkey, but for greedy like that copper penny that he sort of saved.

kkk1204 +1 Completely agree with you about:
"Just for fun, I want to ask - what's the point of taking a ticket to hotels that are far from the sea and do not have their own beach.
I can’t imagine how to be on the beach not to drink as much as you want, beer, drinks, etc., when you want to leave or come, and if you forgot something at the hotel? There are a lot of budget hotels without these difficulties. "
2-3-4 lines is a torment and not a vacation, a huge plus when the hotel is on the first line with its beaches, bars and cafes, respectively.
