Hi
I am looking to book a family holiday, but we have quite specialised needs,
my father is 76, some mobility problems (walks with two sticks) and is interested in archaeology and other cultures.
My mother is 60, and loves sunbathing and massages, spa treatments. dos not like cruises.
Younger sister - loves diving and water sports
Me - not too bothered, as long as it is clean and quiet, planning to sunbathe and read.
We are looking to go for a week, departing on Saturday 11th November, or Sunday 12th November from either London or Birmingham.
Given my father's age, he is not allowed to fly for more than 5 hours, and we are happy to pay extra for him to have more leg room. I was thinking of going to one of the new resorts in Egypt - sharm or taba, leaving my sister to do some diving, my mother to enjoy a spa and maybe taking the parents for a 2 day trip to Cairo. We are very happy to book a taxi and arrange trips ourselves.
As they don't drink, I am not sure if there is any need to go all inclusive, but would welcome views. Our budget is about £500
Thanks in advance for your help.0 -

Is that £500 per person?"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0 -
yes, sorry £500 per person - it would be a bit optomistic otherwise!0
