Anyone ever been to Sharm el Sheikh?

went a few years back. coral cuts you to ribbons, food is awful, nightlife worse. apart from that its fine. oh its quite hot.

Is it really that bad, plums? :(

ah, sorry raspberry, bit of a bad mood. some friends went last year and by the sounds of things it has improved, i went nearly 5 years ago tbf. but i wasn't my cup of tea i'll be honest, they said there was more in the way of nightlife now. it cheap as *****mate, but watch out for that coral, its like razor blakes mate!

*blades

ok mate, ta !

Rasp my mate and his gf went july last year after our lads hol to magaluff he sed it was amazin.... not sure what place he stayed at but he sed he wud defo recommend sharm el sheikh to anyone!!!
Hope this helps
And have a good time mate!!!

been there twice, lovely place, but full of germans! nude women on the beach is a major plus lol

My sister in law lives there with her Egyptian (former goalkeeper) husband. Most western city in Egypt. They've sort of retired early in their 40s and they always remark how cheap it is when they are over here. All he seems to do is watch football all day and relax.

When I say most western I mean most liberal

What it is the betting angle please?

cut myself too lol, hardly left resort as too many people hassling u on the streets, ok but nothing special imo

gb Cheap live feeds and plenty of them. Live Prem football of EVERY match costs next to nothing

Raspberry Baby... The rating system is something to beware.their 5 stars is the equal of our 3 stars, I would rather have a week in Slough than to go back there..But each to their own..!!Good luck (Take your own= Brillo pads!)..

its a nice place but surely in august it will be 120F--better to go there between Oct and March

cheap craph0!e for chavs and youngesters - it's the new Ibiza

Ta, Rob D, Beeely, coyote and everyone else.... :)

And Clydebank !

i've been, its alright if you want to get away somewhere hot and not do alot. food is pretty poor unless you're going somewhere really upmarket like the four seasons. if you want some hot and to relax i would recommend.

dont goto the main town bit though, its an absolute **hole, never been hassled so much in my life. basically, no point in leaving the resort..

Never known anyone go and NOT get a bad stomach, even in the posh resorts, myself and the mrs included. Really got to watch the food if you are eating outside of a resort.

Having said that local pharmacies have a good remedy for the stomach problems that many have.

went last Sept, great diving and snorkling. Why a B&B? some top hotels there for very cheap prices. Main town is bit of a dive (no pun intended), Camel bar is good though. We mainly ate our hotel. Very hot, got a good tan. On average not a bad place, glad i went, but only reason i would go back is for the diving.

christ, i just read AUGUST? man that is guna be hot....

aye my sister in law comes to the UK in July and August to get away from the heat

I read about it in a stephen King book I think ??

been once

would never return . yes it's hot but that's about it. pretty soulless and clinical .


this trip is shaping up quite well i think raspberry :)

Think I might go to Weymouth instead.... :(

:)

ah it's not all that bad really. good opportunity to get training in the gym imo

I went there in August about 4 years ago.

Very very cheap, very very hot & be careful of scrounchers on the streets trying to get you in their shops.

Cairo worth visiting. The Nile and Pyramids are amazing!

mate has just come back from there and picked up an infection he thinks was from his regulator inside of his mouth his sore and swollen

told me some stories about the place lots of russians there the dodgy type ones who think they rule the place the hotel he stayed in was brilliant and good value and is that big it has a miniature railway that goes around it

don't be put off by germans or russians even if some of them mya be gangsters becasue like you they are on holiday and do not care about you as you shoudl not care about them. Just ignore them and have your own good time.

In fact having lots of russians mean you can have a good laugh at their fashion sense especially their speedos!!! (just don't laugh out loud if they also have lots of tattoos)

dont go in august you will die. late september/october is good

i didnt get an upset stomach btw, i used the antibacterial hand gel alot and brushed teeth with bottled water

If you want scuba diving, go to Malta.

went a month ago. lovely place but you will be sick of your life if you go shopping in naama bay with how much you get hassled and pestered by shop keepers etc.
i would have starved having to eat their food all week but found mcdonalds and the tavern bar which is for brits
