Nigel is missing one crucial point in an otherwise comprehensive summary. Many people visiting the Red Sea for their two or three weeks in the sun do not want to take the risk of dodgy food and the associated tummy problems that go with it. One of the best ways to avoid this is by opting for a top hotel or a top destination like Makadi Bay, El Gouna or Sahl Hasheesh. Downtown Hurghada is great for a visit but except for the newer bits you take your chances with so many things. There is no 'one product suits all' but for me I am prepared to pay for quality and security.
