We want to visit Egypt for the first time together with my husband for 8-10 days. We choose between Sharm and Marsa Alam. Which direction and which month will be more profitable / budget?
Interested in the opportunity to actively relax (ie not a water park in the hotel), so as to ride a boat and see something, actively go snorkeling.
We are not picky tourists, food is secondary for us. We do not want a big hotel. To be modest, but with taste and had the opportunity to have fun on their own.
We do not suffer when the water in the sea is 22-23 degrees and the air temperature for us is normal within 25+
The budget is modest. In the range of $ 800-900, better less))))

In Sharm, you a priori save $50 on a visa
In Marsa, diving opportunities depend on the hotel and your mobility. You have to understand, if Sharm is a city, then Marsa Alam is a coastline from Quseir to the Sudanese border about 150 km and the conditions are different.
Budget-almost always December-with the exception of New Year's Eve week.

TombArthur, well, probably not very much. The price of 5 * suits us. But I understand correctly that it is worth watching the tour in the fall, now I do not see such prices for the fall?
Of course, I would like to fly in August-October, because we plan to fly again in late November-early December.

As a rule, I see such prices for the next flights.
Usually the next day or three after the purchase of the tour.
Early booking makes sense only if you want a specific hotel and a very decent standard. And so, razvodilovo even then.

If for the first time Egypt would start with Sharm
from August to October and even the beginning of November, you can choose any areas in Sharm, August-September will be very pleasant with a breeze in Nabq and Ras Nasrani
windless areas of Sharm are better from November to all winter months
Mars - for me personally, I would choose from May to October, also because of the wind
If at prices, for example, at the end of August, the beginning of September from Kyiv 2
Hilton Sharks Bay 4 * 8 nights - $ 907, although the hotel is not small, but it has a good reef
Beach Albatros Sharm El Sheikh 4* 8 nights -876$
If you are active and hiking to the beaches where there are reefs, no problem Turquoise Beach Hotel 3* 8 nights -$731, 9 nights - $784, 10 nights -$829. Turquoise Beach Hotel - a small hotel, almost on the 1st line - across the road from the hotel, there is no reef, but there are many places within walking distance where there are very beautiful reefs. Near Old Town

If you choose Mars Alam, consider Malikia Resort Abu Dabbab 5 * with its turtle bay and The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort 5 *, there besides turtles if you are lucky you will also see a dugong. And the prices for these hotels are exactly according to your budget. It's now, and no one knows what will happen in the fall.
I will support TombArthur, that it is better not to make early bookings in Egypt, because you can significantly overpay.

Now the prices for Mars have risen and I assume that the prices of tours to Egypt in connection with the planned opening of charters from Russia at the end of June will still rise
if you look at the nearest June dates to the end of June
Malikia Resort 8 nights $1004
The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza 10 nights $1123 from Anex and 8 nights $1346 from Joinins

olga.drachevska,
if you are flying for the first time, I advise you to start with Sharm. do not take the most deshman hotel
be sure to read the reviews, and then ask here - our people are kind, albeit with a sense of humor
even if you don’t plan to stay at the hotel, take an Olink anyway: in the case of BB or HB, you will have to pay for drinks, even for tea and coffee
if you want to see the city, I do not recommend a Continental type hotel, as it is far from everything. Of course, you can walk, but in the heat it’s not kamilfo

Choose Charm, it will be cheaper at least for the price of a visa.
According to your budget for the beginning of July, you can choose non-driving options, maybe not in the center, but for 5-10 pounds you can get entertainment on a local minibus.
And most importantly - do not take the cheapest, so as not to spoil the first impressions of Sharm.

Dream's Beach Resort is definitely 5 *, closer to a good 4 *, the reef is normal for a first acquaintance with Sharm, the only thing is that there is no full-fledged sandy entry, the beach itself is not very good, entry into the sea from pontoons and you need special shoes
Ideally for a first time around your budget Club El Faraana Reef in Hadaba, there is a sandy entry, one of the most beautiful reefs in Sharm
You can watch every day, buy now for August + no more months needed

so far it has been the case that the closer to departure, the cheaper the price. But in connection with the discovery of Egypt for the Russians, how it will affect the pricing - no one will tell you.
Dream 's Beach Resort is a modest hotel, but its advantage is that it is close to a very interesting mangrove bay. So you can consider it.

ser_____Witness77, I know that in November-December the water is + 22-23, but I wrote that I have the rules. It's the same in Turkey in May, but it's just right for me, because I don't really like it above 25, and I want to go to sea on my DR. The most desirable way to swim is Egypt. The only thing is that I haven't figured out how to choose a bay so that it would be windless.

In Egypt more than 10 times. The most comfortable for me is October-November. Air 20 (night) -30 (day), water 29 (October), 27 (November). From December, winds begin to March and only the bay. Hotels north of the airport are better, but often a strong current along the coast or completely carries away from the coast, you won’t swim out without flippers, a red flag hangs and you won’t be able to swim in the sea, only the pool For the first time I recommend Sharm (Sinai only visa is free up to 15 days, but You won’t be able to go to Cairo), the bay south of the airport and always the first All line. Always flew on last minute, bought 2-5 days before departure, max $ 500-600 / week for two, 1 line, 4-5 * although it happened $ 700 / Dbl for 12 nights from Odessa / Nikolaev / Kherson, from Kyiv there will be cheaper. If the children have holidays (end of October, New Year) or quarantine is extended, there will be no cheap trips.

Have you snorkeling before? In Turkey, I think not. You may not like it. Please note that in budget hotels in Sharm, pontoons are plastic (swaying on the water). My acquaintance did not reach the snorkel in Sharm, because the pontoon was scared. Maybe for the first time you should visit Makadi, Hotel Stella di Mare. Great hotel, great food. Now the prices are nice

We decided that we needed to fly earlier, most likely in August. If it works out, then again November-early December. And in the fall we will be hit again by some quarantine or something and we will not fly again.

So quarantine can be announced at any time (not necessarily in the fall). You see when we live. So now booking in a few months is quite risky.
