For example, if you take 10 days in Sharm and 10 days in Hurghada. We have the following figures: (from 13 to 22 January last year)
daytime air temperature in Sharm fluctuates from day to day 22-24, in Hurghada 22-25. At night in Sharm, the temperature is not lower than 15, in Hurghada it was not lower than 8 heat.
Wind speed from 10 days is more than 4 m/s during the day:
there were 2 such days in Sharm
there were 6 in Hurghada
Wind speed from 10 days is more than 4 m/s at night:
there were 3 such days in Sharm
there were 4 in Hurghada
The water temperature was the same, about 24 degrees Celsius.
The conclusion is this: in Hurghada a little less comfortable
I would recommend hotels in the bays of Ras um sid, Ras el Maya (windless). This is the Reef oasis, Phanar Club, Faraana.
A little north of the Royal Grand Charm is a chic Renaissance hotel. Naama and Sharks Bay are also suitable, but the wind is felt a little more there

compared to Hurghada
especially if you choose hotels in bays,
maximally protected from the wind

Charm. Definitely not hotels in the Nabq area!
Winds were not felt at all in December in Savita, White Prince Bay. Although the hotel reviews are not so hot now.

I am in Hurghada now, tomorrow I will be in Cairo, then in Sharm and I will be able to compare the weather.
In Hurghada, it is warm and windless during the day, cool and sometimes windy in the evenings.
But in winter they say Sharm is better, as it is protected from the wind by the mountains and the low humidity in this resort prevents large daily temperature drops.

Sharm El Sheikh compared to Hurghada is much younger. If the tourist hotel business began to develop in Hurghada in the 70s of the last century, then one can imagine that not all hotels are in good condition, and there is more environmental pollution, which is why quite large rats are often observed in the city center; if you choose not a new hotel, in addition to old furniture, you have the opportunity to get acquainted with its inhabitants - cockroaches. Plus resort city Hurghada - sandy beaches. In Sharm El Sheikh, for a normal swim in the sea, you need to walk along the pontoon (~ 500 meters) if there is one on site, or wade waist-deep in water (if there is no pontoon). But then there are a lot of corals, which is not in Hurghada.

I have always loved Hurghada and today I was convinced that it was not in vain. Today in Sharm it was cloudy all day, and there was a thunderstorm in the evening. Everything is serious, so much so that the roads were flooded and the cars stopped. Trips to Cairo have been canceled ... I hope at least the villages have not started ...

Azizam - you are just unlucky, you have chosen the wrong day and hour. A storm in Egypt on January 17 and 18 and a heavy downpour were warned on all weather sites! Such rain in Egypt happens every 7 years or even less often, it was in Hurghada too.
No matter what, now I choose only Sharm for myself, after having visited Hurghada, Taba and Sharm.

Well, luck is such a thing. I actually flew to Hurghada, and went to Sharm only for a couple of days ... And so I spent the whole day in Sharm without communication, electricity and water ... Sharm was simply not ready for such a quantity of water on the streets: Naama is covered in water, the Old Market is generally closed today, Hadaba is in the mud. Dahar suffered in Hurghada... I hope tomorrow I will see everything with my own eyes what is happening in Hurghada.

Read on Google - Flooding in Egyptian resorts, the first details.
and it is better to postpone the trip temporarily so that the airport begins normal work on receiving international flights.

Yesterday I was on the road from Sharm to Hurghada all day. The road took more than 10 hours (while we got there for 7 and a half). The worst was on the Sharm-Cairo highway: they sat down, which continued to go and the cars tried to drive through this mixture of water, sand and stones; a pile of stones on the road; breaks and erosion of the road surface; in one place I saw oil stains on the water. What is it? fuel oil, I don’t know oil ... It was a village from the side of the mountains and they went to the sea. It was in Ras Sadr (about 250 km) from Sharm. The worst thing is that there were cars on this road that carried gasoline and food to Sharm. That is, if they do not break through, Charm will be left without food ...
But the Cairo-Hurghada road was just perfect. And in Hurghada itself, I did not see much destruction / flooding.

Azizam, it's good that you got to Hurghada. We are going to fly on January 23 to Hurghada Soma Bay, is your objective opinion worth it? Doubts, and about the weather and generally scary after such events. Although, as you wrote, Hurghada was not affected, but fear is present (.

and in the news it’s as if they are deliberately trying to escalate the situation and promise unfavorable weather next week (!), And according to Gismeteo it’s also “cloudy”
That's lucky, a month ago they took vouchers for the 24th to Sharm

I am now in Sharm, Nabq district. this area suffered the least. it is in a lowland, gently sloping... the water left quickly, and all the breakdowns in the hotel, including the light, were restored on the same day, immediately after the rain... so we got off with a slight fright.... which I can’t talk about Naam and Hadab
