Last minute deal to Egypt (Sharm el Sheikh) ?

Hi everyone,

Hoping someone can help us out with a few ideas. Looking for a 2 week holiday to Egypt (Sharm el Sheikh) leaving anytime from about 29th June. Must be at least 4 star, and preferably all inclusive (but would consider HB if a good price).

We've already had a good look round the internet, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good sites for such a holiday? Best we've found so far is Hilton Shark's Bay for £579 AI.

Any ideas gratefully appreciated!

Thanks icon7.gif

    Hi - I believe that the weather in Taba today was HOT! Max approx. 33 degrees, min 20. However humidity is very low so a lot less stuffy/sweaty heat.

    I am off to Taba Heights for the first time tomorrow so I shall let you know what its like when I return.
