Easter Holiday to Sharm el Sheikh

jg_1234

Hi

Me and my gf have two weeks off over easter and are looking to go to sharm for 7 nights. We can depart (preferably London) anytime between 31 March and 7 April (inclusive).

On a budget so trying to get this as cheap as poss. Have looked at teletext/lastminute etc, but these are not very useful as lastminute particularly shows departure dates for late april when i have been searching for early april.

I have seen some for approx £500pp, but was wondering if I left it till saturday (or later) if you guys reckon this will come down in price?

Also does anyone one know of any holidays departing on the dates I mentiond, or have any ideas of better websites to look at/agents to call?

Any help would be mucho appreciated!

Many thanks

Absolutely no idea but just wanted to say by word of mouth rexcommendations, more and more of our friends are going there and all are completely blown away by how amazing it was and what great value it represented (and superb attitude from staff and locals).

Hope you enjoy, let us know how it went

I would just ring round a few of the companies listed on teletext. You should get something for less than £500!!

BUT. Bear in mind that kids are off school that week so prices won't be as good as other times of year

thanks guys

I realise its not the cheapest time of year to go, but i thought as its getting close (less than two weeks now) the prices would start to drop?

have you thought of taba heights, the hyatt there is amazing and I am sure you will get something there for your price, definately half board and if you go to the Hilton in Taba I think you will possible get full board

Taba is a very quiet resort in comparison to Sharm but it's so beautiful

Thanks for the tip about taba - will check it out!

Ive seen a few posts about DIY? but am not sure how to go about this and whether it would be cheaper?

Taxi transfers once you are in Sharm cost about £10 each way.

these all seem quite expensive tho - do you think its best to book now or wait a few days and hope the price comes down?
