If you have a long-awaited vacation, and you are thinking where to fly and where to relax, Egypt is a completely excellent option. Egypt today for Russians is the same available and familiar pleasure as a cottage at the weekend. It is difficult to even count how many Russians are resting annually in this country. It seems to me that at least a third of the whole population. A trip to Egypt now does not surprise anyone!
Among the resorts of Egypt, the most popular Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Sharm el-Sheikh. A little less than the popular El Gouna (although it is more likely to "join" to Hurghada), Safaga, Taba, Mersa-Matruh, and located almost in Sharm El-Sheikh Dahab.
However, for the Russian tourist, there are mostly two resorts: Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. It must be said that those tourists who spend vacation near the pool or on the beach, a special difference between these resorts do not see (moreover, the All Inclusive system, then you mean, all inclusive, some tourists makes common sense and every desire to move), but lovers Entertainment and connoisseurs of culture know the difference.
If we consider the aspect of weather conditions, it is known that charm is surrounded by mountain arrays, so in the winter wind, when in Hurghada, literally blows from harsh busting winds, it will be a little calmer in Sharma. Although it is not necessary to assume that there are no winds there: at the end of December-January, the wind rise rather harsh, especially evenings. Also, the temperature in Sharma is always on one or two degrees above, rather than in Hurghada, although, the difference is not very felt in fact. The temperature of the water in both cities is approximately the same, although there is more days in Sharma, when water is warmer.As for nature in these cities, it is understandable, greens - the case is hiring, as they say, that is, as the hotel has tried to plant and pour and grew up. And so, everywhere desert and desert. But in Sharma in the Hadaba area, the sea comes close to the rocks, and views from this cliff are completely awesome.
In Hurghada, mostly sandily smooth beaches without boulders and stones. There is an amateur, but I like Charm in this plan. By the way, in Hurghada really more sandy beaches, but in Sharma more beautiful coral reefs that are striking with their beauty and variety. Therefore, charm is suitable for diving and snorkeling lovers, i.e. Swimming with mask. Although, of course, on most beaches, the entrance to the sea is very uncomfortable, it is, of course, minus, but on such beaches there are pontoons, if you know how to swim, then this fact will not be embarrassed.
As for the monetary issue, it's more often in charm a little more expensive than in Hurghada, especially this difference is noticeable for those who are trying to find the cheapest tour.
If we consider the issue of entertainment in these resorts, then, in my opinion, the charm is more Europeanized. For example, at the moment there are several major casinos in Sharm El Sheikh, the largest of which is considered to be Sinai Grand Casino (in it 30 gambling tables). In Hurghada, only one casino.
In Hurghad, there are only 5 clubs, and in Charma, they exceed them 10, and several of them are popular in the world, and the famous musicians, singers and DJs come there.
In general, by visiting all the clubs in both resorts, we definitely declare that the disco charm is much larger and cooler.
As for approximity to the main attractions, it is impossible to definitely answer this question. From Sharma hand to Israel and the monastery of St. Katerina, and the pyramids and Luxor are slightly closer from the Hurghada, although slightly.
A variety of other services offered in both resorts are completely different from each other: Hamam, massages, spa, yacht riding, parasailing - everything is equally.
If you are traveling on vacation with children, boldly choose charm. First, I am convinced that, first of all, to relax with children, it is enough to choose a hotel where children's animators work and where there are any water entertainment on site (although it is not necessary if there are animators). Animators will occupy your children from morning to evening, and that and this and parents, and children are enough to go sat satisfied home.
In Hurghada, 16 hotels with water slides, in Sharma -25. If you are going with children, take care to the beach is sandy, and the entrance to the sea is comfortable, and your quality vacation is guaranteed.
If you are a girl, and no one can fly with you on vacation, do not be afraid to fly there alone. This is no longer dangerous and not scary. Thousands of girls, smoothly, like guys, come in aodner in Sharm el-Sheikh and perfectly spend a vacation, because not to join the funny company is simply impossible here! Of course, you should not forget that we are in the eastern country, and the morals from the locals are different, and, although the Egyptians have long been accustomed to the tricks of the Russians on vacation, do not once again provoke them. This does not mean that you need to dress in a barge, going to the streets of the resort, but the mini skirts in the evening it is better to change the dress to the knee, if you do not want to attract increased attention from the sowing. If you arrived alone, rely on animators, whose immediate work is to brighten your vacation: they will take out on the disco and other tourists, and the day they will entertain, in short, they will not let you be bored!
In short, a pleasant stay!
