The wind is actually the most in Nabq, but now it will be comfortable there.

We rested twice and twice in Nabq. We went for more service, because there are good hotels, the best in reviews. Indeed, once in a while ... we were in November, there was wind for two days, but in March we recently went, so two there wasn’t only a day of wind, but we also swam, just not so comfortable of course ..
We decided the situation with the reef and fish like this - we took a sea trip for the whole day with two dives. We really liked it .. otherwise the sea is really poor there, compared to the bays, but for us it was not more important. If you want to see the city and ride and swim, then it’s better to look at hotels closer to the old city or soho .. from the nabka far everywhere, both in soho, and in naama bay and in the old city.

One hundred and twenty-five times they wrote that Nabq is the most windy bay and still all the questions about it are like the first time.
Sharks is a better bay in terms of winds, but the reefs are basically the same everywhere.
If you want wild nature and unprecedented marine life, then, perhaps, it is better in Marsa Alam. Well, or at least take some kind of boat trip. Be sure to visit Ras Mohammed. Have a nice holiday!

I repeat myself - the best argument and indicator for the beauty of flora and fauna (if you need it) at a specific place (hotel, service is another story) ????? This is the presence of a number of YACHT with divers and snorkelers !!! see live photos of the hotel and further comments are unnecessary .. IMHO.

And why take a one-time excursion with one, two, three ... dives??? It is better to immediately "invest" this money in a normal hotel with a reef ("reefs, in principle, are NOT the same everywhere.") And enjoy the sea whenever you want. IMHO.

and in Nabka the pontoons are very long, there are 400-800 m each. Just don’t take hotels in Naama Bay - there are sandy beaches, no corals, and it’s generally dirty, plastic cups float in the water and something worse ...

We were in Rehan in May 16th. The hotel itself is excellent, from the staff to the animation, the kitchen is also on top. But in a week we swam in the sea normally 3 times. The wind is constantly blowing, big waves. A red flag is hanging and the pontoon is locked. If you want a beautiful reef and a variety of fish, this is not the place for you.

My friends and I didn't like it at all in Rehan!!!!!!!! There is nowhere to even swim. You go down from the pontoon, two meters and buoys, and this grief - the lifeguard whistles and yells as soon as you swim behind the buoys.

coolbaba writes * QUESTION is which bay is better to choose? Vysitala also that the best reef in the continental and next to it. Is Hilton Sharks Bay worse?*
By sea it is almost the same, but in Continental Plaza the entrance is from the shore (the Garden does not), they have a common coastline you can use.
The Hilton area, as for me, is more fun, good transport links, + Soho. Starting from Siwa, Nilton, Concord, Island, Savoy, Siera, ending with the Grand Oasis THE SEA IS BEAUTIFUL, the pricing policy is different and the service too.

We go to the reef in the bay of Ras Um El Sid. There are a lot of boats sailing every day for a paid dive. Even December-February there quietly 9 from our experience is to find a quieter bay). The sun is the longest on the horizon (before that in the Grand Hotel there was a reef cliff 20-30 meters). Reef several cascades 6 meters. moray eels, stingrays, a bunch of every little thing. We take Faraana Reef Resort 4 - she is "tired", but everything is there and the food is normal. She has a bomb on the beach. Nearby there is a fruit, product. Shop, complex 1001 night, area el mercato (there is an office water supply where you can buy an internet card - you need a passport and pounds or a card). Walking accessibility (30-40 minutes) Old Town (I recommend visiting the fish restaurant Farez) and the market for local Ragab San - fixed prices (there fruit and juices tared + hotels home). There are hotels and more expensive - you choose. Have a good rest!

Kkk 1204: Hiking from the Hilton to the Continental - even the Beach, even the Garden, you will succeed. On the contrary, it is unlikely. By sea - no problem. Although a "watcher" sits on the pantone of Hilton - he helps "his own", drives away "strangers".

There was no talk about a walk, and even more so on foot, why and where such an idea came from.

The sea will be far away.
From Siwa they sailed to the Hilton and to the Island. There is also the Grand Oasis Hotel where there are unlimited places for swimming (not much control), even to the left, even to the right.

As for Rehana, I don’t advise, the hotel is good, but it’s not so easy with the sea - depth, current, wind.

Guys !! Now I'll ask again for the area .. not for the hotel .. Of course, he is interested, but not in the first place.
Main beach. Sea. the beauty of the territory, and to go for a walk a couple of times along the charm.
For the winds of Nabq near rehana, I understood !! We don't swim very well ... But at depth and in the waves it will probably be scary.
the area around Soho would be nice anyway.. considering
Siva sharm near Soho
Hilton sharks bay also near Soho
Cyrene Grand Hotel could be
Continental plaza .. attracts good beach and sand and pontoon without huge depth . a bit scary only bad reviews.
Sharm plaza He's right there
Can you suggest any of this?
Is the sea better off Soho? Or at the point where the continental? ????
I think I figured out how to find out where there are more fish. On Google maps in these places there is a blue gap. And where is the black abyss right behind the corals and this is not good in terms of fish)) I hope I came to the right conclusion ????
The bays to the south don't seem to be affordable. Because we are going for a long time and $ minimum

Siva sharm - medium beauty reef, portioned meat, limited drinks, no service.
Hilton sharks - the most compact beach in the Soho area, the reef is medium.
Cyrene Grand is a live reef, the rest is at the level of the most economical hotels.
Continental plaza and Sharm plaza are the only best in hotels - beautiful reef.

In Siwa (November 2016) the staff steals, be careful, the hotel needs renovation. But on the other hand, it is next to Soho and the reef is pretty, there are 2 pontoons, there is no crowd, which is very good, and no one is whistling, you can swim wherever you like. And for the dive they took only 10 dollars. Haven't seen it cheaper anywhere. In Sharm Plaza (November 2017) the reef is more interesting, there are more predators, napoleons, etc.

SOHO area
2014_Egypt_Island View Resort - the territory is large, the descent to the sea is not easy, the beach was crowded (2014), hung out on the 4th pool.
2015_Egypt_AA Grand Oasis Resort - a beautiful green hotel (respect and respect for the gardener), everything is within reasonable distances for walking, poor soundproofing of the rooms, do not take rooms with a sea view, the sun and heat will get you.
2015_Egypt_Hilton Sharks Bay Resort - a very compact hotel on the 1st line, on the 2nd line the best (there were many foreigners and locals), the beach is multi-level small, but there was enough space for everyone, a good stationary bar on the beach.
2016,2018_Egypt_Siva Sharm - 8-storey building (main), good Party bar, everything is within arm's length, sound insulation (especially between rooms) is weak, the beach is normal, you can sunbathe on the grass outside the beach.
All these hotels have the sea, the reefs are the same +/-. In the entire history of vacations, and we rest with a company of 12-20 people, there was no theft in any of the hotels (not only these).

2013_Continental plaza - there is no big difference in the sea and the reef (the depth is the same) plus this is a sandy entrance, as well as minus a lot of yachts.
There are always fish, every swim is different, now Napoleon is there in 5 minutes.

Hilton, Island is good, calm, without noise and animation. Siwa .. noisy, poor ... but party and youthful. There are also Conchords.. The front is almost full and there is even a nightclub in the hotel. Sports ...empty peace and quiet. You sit in a restaurant alone .. well, or 5 people and the waiters run after you. There are three slides in the pool. and the reef they have is almost the same

coolbaba, I recommend hotels within walking distance of Soho. Still very happy when there is civilization near the hotel. We love Concord, but it's not cheap. Near Island View. Closer to Soho Sierra, but pricey. Look according to your budget, you can also visit the Hilton Sharks Bay, Siwu listed above.
