To divert from this "Paradise of Cool" simply does not want, especially understanding that the surface of the Red Sea in this deserted place is far from being so good as life under water. A boring type of low hotel complexes with accumulated and slightly cough palm trees are the landscape that is waiting for a tourist ribrors. And here for many it comes the same bummer, for which Sharm el-Sheikh begin to scold ugly at return.

Most recently, the resort of Egypt was Hurghada, famous for democratic prices and a variety of leisure, but according to statistical data from travel agencies, Sharm El Sheikh's beaches in the last couple of years have become in demand and more recreation people visited them.
What is the difference between Sharm el-Sheikh?
The main difference between Sharm el-Sheikh from other resorts of Egypt is its geographical location - it is surrounded by mountains that delay the winter wind, that is, sunbathing and swimming in Sheikh in November is completely real.
Winter cold winds, who became the scourge of all Egypt resorts, starting with the end of October and lasts until the end of February, here, of course, there are also. However, they are limited to the middle of December and January, and blow mostly in the evenings, after sunset.

Judging by Egypt meteors in Sharma, the air temperature here throughout the year by 2-3 degrees is higher than in Hurghada, and the water is warmer by 1-2 degrees.
Beach holiday connoisseurs will be more important than the beaches themselves. Hurghada is even sand, but pebbles and shells can come across in Sharm el-Sheikh, in some places, for example, in the Hadab area, the rocks go to the sea, that is, you can sunbathe on the stones. In addition, there is a great depth and a lot of coral reefs that will definitely appreciate the fans of snorkeling and diving.
In addition to relaxes on the beaches, swimming with a mask and dive with aqualung Rest in Sharm el-Sheikh has other differences, for example, the ability to spend the evening for blackjack, one-handed gangsters or tape measure. It is nominally the opportunity to play in Hurghada, but in fact there is only one small casino with obsolete equipment and the lack of free drinks.
Sharm el-Sheikh offers tourists six major casinos with the most modern equipment, among Russians are more popular Sinai Grand Casino, which has 30 game tables, free drinks and snacks for visitors and many others.
Almost all those in Sheikh hotels offer some- \u003d or entertainment in the evenings, but in addition, there are over a dozen nightclubs in the resort, in five of which are always the most popular DJs of Ibiza and famous dance and GOU-GOU show . There are both thematic clubs, for example, only at this resort can listen to jazz. In Hurghad, there are only five clubs designed for non-tempt and non-discerning visitors.
For vacationers, of course, is important to such a nuance as closeness of attractions. According to any finished tours of the pyramid closer to Hurghad and usually a trip to them is already included in the tourist package.
However, rest in Egypt in Sharm el-Sheikh not only does not exclude visits to the temples of the Luxor or the Kings Valley, but also adds a number of interesting places in Israel to the traditional list of Egyptian monuments - excursions to the monastery of St. Catherine and to other attractions of the Holy Land are offered here in each Hotel.
In addition to Israel, resting in Sharm el-Sheikh, you can go to Saudi Arabia, but the possibility of excursions to this country completely depends on the political situation, therefore, among the finished proposals from the tour operators working in Russia, such trips are not found.
Among the already familiar procedures and entertainment of the Egyptian resorts Sheikh can offer:
- Hamam.
- Spa treatments and all sorts of massages.
- Skating on yachts, high-speed boats and water skiing.
- Parasailing.
In Sharm el-Sheikh, the rest is designed for everyone, and for singles, and on childless couples, and on families with children of different ages. Every resort hotel has several, consisting of animators, the direct responsibility of which is the organization of leisure.
The feature of the local services is such a species is that the animator is engaged not only by children, but also adults, speaking in the role of accompanying clubs, casino, restaurants and other "evening" places.

As for general indicators, the number of hotels with water "mini-parks". Which are important when resting with children, in Hurghada is 16, and in Sharma - 25. This resort is more in demand among Western European tourists than among Russians, but in Russian personnel express themselves here, however, as in English, in French And in German. Among the holidaymakers are dominated by the Germans, however, and our compatriots are also not small.
Prices
Relax in Sharm el-Sheikh costs more than in Hurghada, but the quality of services, hotel offers and a variety of time here at a higher level.
The average rates for the finished tour of the rest system "All Inclusive" for 8 days / 75 days for two with a flight are 750-800 dollars. This cost is not included any excursions and is not implied by the payment of visa collection, and the corresponding mark is set in the documents - "SINAI ONLY".
To be afraid of this restriction, meaning that the tourist does not have the right to leave the Sinai Peninsula, not worth it. A visa can always be discovered directly when leaving blue, paying 10 dollars.
Cheaper to buy vouchers at the end of February and the beginning of March, that is, before the opening of the holiday season. In Hurghada, at this time is still cool, and in the chalm surrounded by mountains, the weather fully has a beach holiday. The most inexpensive rates come for December-January, but during these months it will have to be limited to swimming in the pool, since the sea is rather cool.

The airport in Sharm el-Sheikh is located 10-15 minutes drive from the tourist beach area, as a rule, to get to the hotel after arrival, travelers enjoy the transfer service, which is located in each hotel and is always included in the cost of a ticket. If you wish, you can take a taxi by paying at least $ 7, having previously stuck with the driver.
The most popular bazaar among the holidaymakers is located on Soyo Square. You can buy almost everything here, and going to souvenirs you need to remember that Egypt is east, and you have to bargain. You can bring down the price by 3-4 times from the primary declared sellers. For example, for statuettes of 30 cm, depicting Egyptian gods, initially asking from 20 to 25 dollars.
Usually, vacationers buy them at $ 10, but this figure is not at all the price limit for bargaining, it is quite real to buy a deity for $ 3-5, especially if there is no influx of buyers.
If you wish to buy something more colorful and useful than traditional figurines, you need to walk to the Elmbirkati bazaar. It is quite possible to buy leather bags from $ 13, suitcases and backpacks from $ 20 and forged boxes from 7 dollars. Bracelets, rings and necklaces in the Egyptian style are quite realistic to acquire here, paying from the dollar to ten, depending on what exactly buy.
The cost of products and water at this resort depends on the place of purchase. In small shopping pavilions along the beaches, a cold water bottle with a capacity of 0.5 liters can cost $ 5 in the midst of the tourist season. The same bottled water, but in stores in the city costs 1-1.5 dollars.
Fruits in the city market cost from 1 to 5 dollars per kg, which is quite conditionally, you can always be stumbled and score a whole basket of mango, persimmon and dates, paying a dollar or two.
However, for those who go on vacation on the "All Inclusive" system, the cost of water and products is not relevant, because food and drinks are available at the hotel, and bottled water just need to take with them in a minibar of the room or just in the hotel bars.
Regarding the tips in Sharm el-Sheikh, there is a secret rule - the cleaner of the number to leave the dollar per day. However, this can not be done, the remuneration always remains at the discretion of guests.
Frequently often in the hot Egyptian climate there is a need to acquire Majs or Sarafan, however, the Egyptian dress is bought without necessity. T-shirts in the markets are 3 dollars, it is possible for one dollar. The dresses are 8-20 dollars and the bargaining is successful only to half of the amount required initially.
Diving with scuba, along with training and supervision of an instructor costs 40-45 dollars, but if there is own equipment and experience, you can dive independently, no restrictions exist. Hire of equipment without learning and services of instructors is half cheaper - $ 20-25.

Swimming with a mask will cost 20-22 dollars with novice, experienced swimmers - at $ 14-16, and if you have your own gear, you will not have to pay anything.
With regard to excursion trips, the situation in prices is more difficult, costs depend on:
- where to go;
- for what time;
- what will be included on the trip.
For example, a tour to Israel implies 8 hour moving by bus to one side only, and for a while at the crossing of the border in the direction of the Holy Land. As a rule, on the border bus costs from 2 to 3 hours. The cost of such a trip varies from 45 to 90 dollars, depending on the objects of inspection and whether the tours are included in the tour.
Traveling to Bedouins on quadritsyclas with a further night riding walk on camels will cost 40 to 50 dollars.
A trip to Luxor or to Gizu - 38-45 dollars, a tour including the Luxor Temple Complex, and the Giza Valley is 80-90 dollars.
In general, reviews about holidays in Sharm el-Sheikh positive, as for prices, they are a little higher than those who installed in Hurghad, besides, acquiring a tour with already included food and excursion service, you will not pay anything other than souvenirs or Any entertainment. And wishing to calculate pre-probable costs will benefit the reviews of tourists already rested at this resort.
