    I think Taba fits the bill with places to see out and about such as St Catherine's Monastery, Cairo and Petra

    WOW! Thanks for the help sloppychops and saveapenny....!! Some great bargains there. Bit worried about Taba and Red Sea as have heard not much to walk to outside the hotel. Not keen on long trips with the 2 year old. Out of Hurghada, Sharm & Taba....which place offers more to do outside the resort that is not too time consuming? I think Sharm is the better but not sure so any other good sharm deals?

    Is Turkey worth going or is bird flu still a risk?

    Good choices there.....can you tell me which airlines fly from luton to sharm ?
  • saveapenny
    saveapenny Posts: 6,773 Forumite
    as far as I can find there are no flights to Sharm from Luton on or around your dates cheap enough the only 1 flight is with Thomsons and the lead in price (before all the extras) 289 and that leaves on the 20th it would make all put togethers allot more expensive. Best option is the Gatwick flight
