Hurghada vs Sharm . . . ?

[DebsyDoo]

Mornin' all !

Just a quickie - I'm on point of booking my holiday -
So need to know, out of the above -
Which is best, or what is the main differences between them ?
(apart from location - before some smart ass says it !!!)
ie: like is one of them really windy, or whatever ?
(will be going mid-May, by the way)

Thanks in anticipation !!!

If diving is your thing then there is a strong case for Hurghada as the dive boats go out to the islands and offshore reefs. These are much less visited and are absolutely breath taking.

If it's a regular holiday, Sharm seems to be the best option. I've not been to Sharm but i understand it's more developed with more (and more refined) restaurant/nightlife options than H. Casual snorkelling off a beach is probably easier in Sharm too.

H is best placed for excursions to Luxor and The Nile (which is stunning).
I think excursions from Sharm go to places like Mt Sinai.

Haven't been in May, we went in winter (it's currently mid 20s celsius in Hurghada) but I expect it will be blinkin' hot.

Hope this helps. Enjoy.
