Egypt Holiday In November (Help)

clarabell1984

Hi, I am looking for some help and infor on Egypt (Sharm) in November.
My boyfriend and I have narrowed down November as a time we may be able to go away on holiday this year.
Money is pretty tight but we would love to get away. We had just been looking at the Canaries but someone in work told me this morning that Egypt in November is pretty much guaranteed sunshine. He also said he went last year and rekoned that we could get a holiday for £1000 total for the 2 of us for a 2 week all inclusive holiday.

My question is, is this a realistic figure for the following spec?

Flying from either Glasgow or Edinburgh
Dates can be anytime between 30 October but must be back for 20th November for a wedding.
Never been all inclusive but looks like it might be the best option.

I'm so stuck, not even sure where in Sharm to go, he said Naama Bay is good????

Thanks in advance

Depends what you like to do on holiday.

Sharm and Naama Bay are like a mini-vegas. Very built up, very touristy, KFC's, Pizza Hut's. My idea of hell (although I have been twice, in the days when you could get a week B&B, flights, transfers, &diving for £239!).

However, if you just want to sit by a sunny swimming pool, then check, you can do that. Go to a (very busy) beach close by? Check, you can do that (although most beaches are privately owned and therefore charge).

Dahab, just down the coast, is (in my opinion) nicer- but then I prefer to travel independently. Horses for courses.

If you want a laidback week of sun, and arn't put off by glitzy western tourist culture- go Sharm. You will have sun!

oh cashwise, yeah, you'll hit your budget. Try lastminute.com too.

you seen any good offers recently? Dahab used to come up on Lastmin for £169 inc flights/b&b/transfers, then just find your dive shop on the seafront... but no more, sob
