Besides not having a visa, what's better than Sharm?
We were in Hurghada in November. Liked. We want to go back to Egypt in April. Why is Sharm better?

reefs. There, almost everywhere, with rare exceptions, a rich underwater world ... live corals, hundreds and thousands of fish on the reef. True, the entrance to the sea from the pontoon is because of the reefs, some do not like it or do not like it. We only go to Sharm (we were once in Taba), we take masks and snorkels and go for a swim along the reef. And if you take hotels, then, probably, there is no difference (even rather, in Sharm, the service is worse, but this never really bothered me, since I go exclusively to the sea, and not to eat or sit in the room).

Pluses of Sharm: reef, the weather is more comfortable (except for Nabka), there are fewer hotels. Pros of Hurghada: more convenient for excursions, more hotels, more choice. So who loves what.
ps to Sharm, if you take a tour for 14 - you already need a visa

More civilized, by the way, you don’t need to buy a visa, but then let’s say they won’t let you go to Cairo and Mar es Salaam.

Of course, beautiful reefs. In Hurghada were only once (for the sake of Luxor and the Nile), no longer pulls. But we fly to Sharm almost every year.

Well, except for the reefs, the absence of such winds as in Hurghada, Sharm is a completely tourist city, safer, more party-going.

1. Less strong winds.
2. In winter, the water and air are warmer than in Hurghada.
3. REEFS!!!
4. If you want to go to Israel, then from Sharm a one-day excursion is now about 60 dollars.
5. If the hotel is in the bay of Ras Um El Sid, then there is a 99% chance that there will be no waves.

Sharm is the youngest resort in Egypt. If you are a lover of scuba diving, then there you will find an outlet: beautiful reefs and living creatures in the sea. Corals keep the temperature in the sea. Therefore, they correctly write to you that in Sharm it is less windy in winter due to the fact that it is surrounded by mountains and the sea temperature is higher. The most windless bay is considered to be Ras Um El Sid. The most windy in winter is Nabqa. There are also the longest pontoons. But we must take into account, when relaxing with small children, that in many Sharm hotels the entrance is from a pontoon. Therefore, if the bottom is very important, all these nuances must be taken into account. There are hotels with cleared lagoons.

It all depends on the chosen hotel. Depending on which hotel you liked in Hurghada, if modest, then it will definitely be good in Sharm. If decent in all respects, then you need to choose the appropriate hotel in Sharm. I am indifferent to fish, I like the concept of holidays in Egypt, the landscape of the hotel, food. Fish are always a great bonus, but not a prerequisite. Therefore, in Makadi (Hurghada) I liked it more than Sharm.

In my opinion, Sharm is worth a visit, but you need to be careful about choosing a hotel based on your preferences.

We were only once in Hurghada, but after Sharm (unless of course the reefs are important) only Sharm, although as they wrote earlier in Hurghada, it seems that the hotels price-quality are brighter

Your preferences must be taken into account. Pluses of Sharma: no visa, beautiful corals and fish, less wind (except for Nabka). Disadvantages of Sharma - the service is lame, there are many hotels on the second line, often there is no entry into the sea (only from a pontoon). In Hurghada, the service is an order of magnitude higher, beautiful sandy beaches are on the first line, but coral fish are far from everywhere. Near Hurghada near Makadi Bay, it's generally beautiful there.

Sharm is a more youthful and more party resort.
If you are going to Israel/Jordan, it is wiser to go to Sharm than to Hurghada.
Although I personally prefer the beaches of the Egyptian mainland.
аватар RetuRneR
If BEACHES, then yes - Africa is more comfortable: almost everywhere a completely sandy bottom, with islands of corals (especially convenient for children). I agree with bodic1996 - corals in Makadi (Azur hotels) are no worse, service is better ....
