I read about the pandemonium at the airport, in particular Sharma. How is the situation really?
Are there a lot of people at the resorts now? For the first time we are going to fly to Egypt with a child in December, we want to see the pyramids and Luxor. Thanks everyone for the replies!

Well, firstly, you need to separate domestic and international flights in Sharm. On domestic flights to Cairo and Luxor, there are no problems and will not be, there is a separate passage.
For international flights, flows to Russia and non-Russia were divided)
Well, like our inspectors from Sheremetyevo-Safety allowed the Egyptians to"rape" our Russian tourists returning home, with checks so that none of the Egyptians could put a bomb in the Russians' shorts or a photograph of Navalny banned in Russia)
All other tourists from non-Russia aNAVALnoe"rape " is not threatened, go quietly as before.
About"rape " Russians write with sadness, because he is a Muscovite. Why this was invented I do not understand.

It is better to see the pyramids and Luxor from Hurghada, from Sharm the road is tiring (if by bus to Cairo), especially for a child

They chose the time so that there were fewer people, and it was still possible to swim, so a large number of people are embarrassed (

With a 10-year-old son, it seems to me that it will be better in Hurghada. There are more sandy beaches. In Sharm, you will have to swim mainly from pontoons, where it is immediately deep. And the weather is the same in Sharm and in Hurghada plus or minus. The only difference is that in some bays of Sharm it is not so windy.

"There are a lot of people in the resorts now" - yes, a lot, in connection with the opening of a charter program for Russians, there are a lot now and the hotels are overcrowded
"We want to see the pyramids and Luxor." - better as above advised to choose a hotel in the Hurghada region. Excursions to Cairo and Luxor are also long in time 4-4.5 hours on the way in one direction, i.e. one excursion day of your holiday. If 2 excursions to both Cairo and Luxor, you need to buy a tour of 10-14 days.
There is an option for an air excursion from Sharm to Luxor, we went on such an excursion, and Luxor made a lot more impressions, I liked it more than Cairo.

According to the weather, they all correctly answered you that "the weather is the same in Sharm and in Hurghada, plus or minus the same"
"it will not be cold to swim yet" - for each individual person there is his own understanding of the comfort of sea and air temperature
The average sea water temperature in December, both in Sharm and in Hurghada, is + 23-25, warmer if you choose a bay without wind in Sharm and then it seems that it is warmer.
As in Sharm, so in the Hurghada region there are places without wind or well protected from the wind.

How glad I am that I had the bright idea to go to Egypt in November 2019 without any charters. There are zero people at the pyramids and in Luxor. The queue at the airport of Sharm was only for passengers of Ukrainian charters, we just said that we were on the regular season, we missed it out of turn.
In general, fly regularly, you will be happy. And it's not just about Egypt.

Yesterday we returned from Sharm. Ukraine is taken to Terminal No. 2, an annex to the airport (more like a utility yard), they passed registration in an hour, brought to the airport in 3.5 hours. Ukrainians are treated very loyally, bags were not turned inside out, they even let them bring juices and water in breakfast from hotels. We took off at 8:55. A madhouse at the main airport where the Russians fly from, they now have a lot of flights from almost all cities of Russia and the airport is choking. And it’s better to wait a little with excursions, Luxor from Sharm only by plane, it will be very expensive. And I would not recommend it to Cairo at all, the Cairo Museum is now being taken to the New Museum in Giza, and it will be opened in six months (they promise ...). Today, excursions for the same money without a museum ... tourists from the hotel went, they were not delighted.

There are really a lot of people in hotels now, of which 70% are Russians, 20% Ukrainians and 10% Europeans with Belarusians, with almost 100% hotel occupancy. There are not enough sun loungers on the beaches, they are occupied from 6 in the morning. To eat in a restaurant, you need to go at the last hour, when there are already fewer people, but there will be a correspondingly smaller assortment of food. There are constant queues at the bars. Tours to good hotels have risen in price by almost 2 times and adapt to everything - this is still a pleasure for the nervous system ...

YaSlavnaYa, well, I don’t have any love for one country, just to fly there on vacation. Egypt is an interesting country, of course, but very specific, I personally wanted to relax after a holiday in Egypt)))). In this regard, of the pop countries, I like Turkey more, where you can relax and not be on the alert every time about cheating with money or endless pestering on the street.
