in Overseas holidays & travel planning
Hello! Having spent hours / days / weeks searching through the many hotel options in Sharm El Sheikh, my fiance and I have decided we would love to book The Grand Hotel in Ras Um El Sid (El Fanar Street) for our honeymoon.

However, we have tried loads of holiday booking sites (teletext, thomson, holidayhypermarket, travelsupermarket, expedia, opodo and many others) and cannot find anywhere to book it through! We even looked at the readseahotels website and it just said you can book it through your local travel agent!!

Can anyone tell me how I can book this hotel? It is a bit confusing as there are other hotels with similar names.

    Why don't you email the hotel and ask them for more details of the agents through which it can be booked?

    Well . . . I emailed the hotel but have not heard back yet so will see if that comes to anything. . .

    Last Minute are not giving me the option to fly from Edinburgh to Sharm El Sheikh for some reason.

    I have found it on Flyglobespan (weird as I looked there before and couldn't find it) but it would cost about £2.5k for the 2 of us so maybe I need to lower my sights a bit lol!

    Thanks for your help :T

    I went to Sharm el Sheikh last year booked through laterooms and booked fly via thomson, but ryanair are doing good deals at the moment.

    Book hotel 1st here laterooms

    Book Flights here ryanair

    Save yourself a bundle doing it this way.

    Hope this helps you.

    I booked this from Red Sea Holidays which is the holiday company that owns the red sea hotels group, 3 of us booked for mid May 1 double and 1 single room total £1508 for flights, transfers, late checkout (9pm) and accommodation, Flyglobespan quoted me £2500 and it meant flying from Edinburgh! I live in London and got the flight going out from Gatwick with Red Sea Holidays :j
