We are going to Egypt for the first time, a lot of questions, but so few answers. City? Hotel? Entertainment?
Good day, dear forum users.
Gathered with friends on vacation in Egypt, We all had a lot of questions to which we are looking for answers from friends and relatives. Decided to write here, hoping to get some answers.
I will write a few words of general information about what we expect from the rest.
We gathered 4 people, no one has yet been to Egypt. The average age of the company is 21 years. We want to choose a hotel not far from the sea, although how it will turn out. Active rest such as trips on a quad bike, the opportunity to go somewhere in the evening. We plan to fly from Kyiv on July 1-3 for 5-7 days, we calculate up to $ 450 per person per tour.
Now I'll leave a few questions here. Perhaps you say that any tour agency will answer our banal questions. Yes, you are right, but we want to hear the opinion of vacationers.
1. City?
Having rummaged through the forums, everyone has a different opinion, which is normal. We would like to hear from you recommendations on the above mentioned preferences.
2. Hotel?
There we plan to spend the least of our time. eat well and

I agree with the previous author, the concords near Soho are good hotels, the prices were not the most affordable, at least when I watched my tour at the end of May. Take a look in the same area of Hilton Sharks Bay, the place is not bad, the hotel is not the worst, we can be lucky for the price.

There is a Tiba Tour Com travel agency website on the Internet for comparison, these are local Egyptians who provide entertainment and excursions in Egypt, where prices are lower than even sold on the beach. You look, they work both in Hurghada and in Sharm. I went 2 times with them, a year ago and this year.

FireDrop, Concord has its own diving center with training from scratch. I won’t tell you the cost, we are not diving enthusiasts, we didn’t dive. But bargaining is a must. They can start from $50 and go down to $20-25 per dive.
Also in favor of Concord is the presence in it of its own nightclub, which works every day from 23 to 2-3 at night, people in different ways. Nearby in Soho nightclub Pangea (Panjaya), open Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. For Concorde, admission is free for girls for sure, for men I'm not sure. Also in Soho at the Savoy Hotel is a very cool Caligula club with the entourage of a knight's castle, disco only on Sunday. They always let us in for free, so I don't know the cost. In the city I recommend clubs Dolcevita in the desert, open on Wednesday, Taj Mahal, open on Friday. They praise Hard Rock, but we weren't. Animators will tell you about all the clubs and about the cost of entry.

Guys, Egypt from June to August and the beginning of September is cruel! Incredible heat!!! I have been to Egypt 5 times and at different times. And in August for the first time they had the imprudence to go and in November and in April and in December there were. In August, they almost burned down completely, it's hell, 50 degrees. In December it is already cooler, the winds begin. A month ago we returned from Sharm, it was already a little hot 30-32, but still comfortable. November was the best! The air is 26-28, the water is fresh milk, you don’t burn out in the sun, the tan is beautiful, it’s comfortable to lie on the beach and ride on excursions and take a walk in the city. So, the ideal time for comfortable air and water temperature is April-May and October-November, this is the golden time for Egypt. Of course, in the summer there are cheaper tours, because it's not the season, but it's more expensive for yourself, it's better to pay more, but go in the season and be in comfortable weather conditions. In summer, you need to travel Turkey, Montenegro, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Greece. If you book early (3-6 months), the prices are quite adequate.

gladyshevakaruha, the topcaster has already said a couple of times above that the goal is Egypt, but he will understand the adequacy of his decision upon arrival and the result of his vacation. Until you check it yourself, you won’t believe it. How many friends and acquaintances so went to Turkey at the peak of the heat, some to Egypt. But he makes his own rest and if he is more interested in night life, then maybe it will be normal to walk at night, sleep until ..... 15-16 hours during the day .... under this regime, it is possible and there will be norms.

moy_contakt, of course, everyone decides and chooses what they like. My message is not intended to dissuade a person from a planned trip, but to express my opinion, feelings and observations, since this is not the first time in Egypt. Perhaps they will be useful, especially for tourists who visit the country for the first time or for those who have not been to this country in a particular month. And to listen or not is a personal matter. For some, the heat is well tolerated and it does not matter what time of the year to go, but for some it is too sensitive to weather conditions.

In Egypt, unlike Turkey, it is much easier to breathe in the heat due to the low humidity of 17-22%. We recently returned from the Dominican Republic, that's where the kapets is, at +31 and a humidity of 98-100% we almost died.

LindaLinda, why did you go to the Dominican Republic out of season?
The heat in Egypt is easier to bear than Turkey, this is a fact, but this does not mean that it is not hot in Egypt in summer, it is very hot there and there is little buzz from this.

zolyshka111, we went to the Dominican Republic for the sake of the warm sea, and in Egypt the price for the same number of nights turned out to be higher than in the Dominican Republic, well, we have never been to this country.

Off season in the Caribbean, Florida starts from the end of May to the end of November, not in April or early May, even the whole of May is a more relaxed holiday in relation to the summer months
Heat is easier to bear in Turkey in the Aegean and Aegean-Mediterranean region, a completely different climate, unlike Antalya resorts

zolyshka111 "The heat in Egypt is easier to bear than Turkey, it's a fact" - yes, it's a fact for those who limited themselves to the experience of rest only in the regions of Antalya, Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya. In reality, the seaside resorts of Turkey in different regions are different, the climate is different.
The girl LindaLinda noted that she had recently returned from the Dominican Republic, which means she had a rest in the regular season and this is a fact and reality, and not the season will start soon

I usually first go to any agency (nearby) .. They explain which hotels are on a budget, then I read reviews (the rating of the hotel is mandatory) and only then I ask questions ... Something like that ..

Rested that year with the company in early July in Hurghada. We choose Hurghada, because everything is not very far there. Only 1-2 $, and you are where you need to be.
It was hot, but we are accustomed, on the second day we adapted. You don’t feel the heat near the sea, the sea is warm, a fairy tale.
We went on a safari, survived))) I even liked it very much, as always) The only thing is to take more water, and smear yourself well with sun cream. Safari for 3 hours $ 15, if a larger company can be negotiated and cheaper)
On sea excursions went cool, comfortable. Just do not buy excursions to Cairo and Luxor, it will really be hot there, better in cooler months. Diving $20, Dolphin House $15, Paradise Island $15.
We went to clubs, it’s better with animators there so that the locals don’t bother, and there are no problems. Depending on the club, the entrance fee is $5-15. We also went to El Gouna, very good, but far away.
Tour bought for 4-5 days. We were going to Turkey, but the price was very tempting, we flew back to Egypt)

Were last summer at the end of July in Egypt. We chose Hurghada, because. according to all the reviews there at this time is not so hot. They survived okay. On excursions I really liked diving on a yacht and Paradise Island.
