Yes, we booked with Thomas Cook to the Sunrise Holiday resort in Hurghada. Really looking forward to it but have to wait till August. Its adult only (16+) and usually you pay a premium for this but at £907 each its a steal.

Welcome to HT Notts_dave :tup

At least you might get a bit of sun :D That's a good price for your holiday, we have booked with Thomson who I noticed have reduced their prices making it even better value than we paid, oh well , win some lose some :que

Weather has been REALLY bad in the last week or so, strong winds, HEAVY rain and very overcast and chilly, I hope it improves very quickly :(

4 years ago (2010) when we were there it was raining when we arrived and was rather chilly and overcast and the day we left there was heavy rain and flooding.

18 days until we arrive :tup

Just heard from the trade press that Longwood have gone into administration (their parent group Preston Holidays have gone ) so that means Peltours , Amathus and Preston Holidays (Channel Island specialist) have gone too

Gosh that's bad, they seem to have been around forever doing Egypt. Another one bites the dust and more jobs lost. :(

Such a shame to see these type of small specialised companies go, soon just be the big boy monopoly left, which isn't good as they only want to fly from and go to destinations that are profitable and and operate on a large scale.

I am sure you will enjoy it, one of my friends is just back from the Coral Sea Waterworld and he and his girlfriend loved it and didn't have any complaints and said they would go back again

The area around Nabq has grown rapidly over the last few years so there are now many shops and restaurants to choose from there, although if you are AI you might want to just stay in the hotel which is quit a large complex.

The Red Sea is really quit warm and there are plenty of amazing fish to see if you should go snorkeling or perhaps you want to go diving.

Unfortunately we aren't going abroad this year (didn't start saving in time last year), but yesterday we booked to return to the Coral Sea Aqua Club, in Nabq Bay, for August 2015.

Loved our first holiday to Sharm last August, and the hotel was great.

We have managed to book a swim-up room again, which was well worth the extra paid last time.

Same holiday, with same room upgrades, etc has cost us about £600 more than it did to go last year, but saying that, we fly out on 21st August... to fly out 7 days earlier would have been another £400 or so!!!

Looking forward to it already.... just wish we were going this summer too!

Good for you :tup

Something to look forward too, the Coral Sea Aqua Club looks lovely, one of my friends was there in January and loved it, Nabq has grown over the last few years and there is much more up there so you don't have to go in to Na'ama Bay all the time now.

Booked an additional unexpected week in Sharm, we are off to the Club Magic Life Sharm El Sheikh Imperial mid December, got a good deal with Thomson a couple of weeks ago, the CML was coming in as the cheapest hotel at that time, gone up a fair bit now though.

Never stayed up in the Nabq area so that will be a little bit of a change and something different.
