Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Quad biking / desert safari with Bedouin dinner and Ras Um Sid public viewpoint. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

Tiran Island snorkeling boat trip alone was worth the trip, but combined with Sharm el Sheikh Old Town streets this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. SOHO Square entertainment complex in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Our trip to Sharm El Sheikh was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Blue Hole diving (Dahab day trip) was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Blue Hole diving (Dahab day trip) and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Sharm El Sheikh is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Old Market (Sharm el Maya). The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.
