Default Air Travel / Ferry

We have just looked up cost of flights to Sharm compared to Hurghada and noticed a great difference in price namely 85 to sharm 311 to Hurghada. We have been told that a ferry leaves sharm 3 days each week which costs something in the region of l0pounds each way. Anybody know anything about this and have they travelled on it before. It looks like there is a considerable difference in the prices to each resort and not sure how you can travel anyother way ie luxor or marsa alam. Anybody looked into this ?

Hi that is very interesting,how long is the journey sharm to Hurghada?,the only downside is, I believe you have to return from the same city as you arrive at so you would have to go Back to Sharm.
But interesting.looked at some flights to Sharm last night they were around £150 per person from london or manchester.

Does anyone know for sure if you have to fly in and fly out of the same airport (back to the UK). I'm trying to arrange a trip to El Gouna plus a Nile Cruise and it would be easier to fly into Hurghada and out of Luxor if possible.

Hi Distantdreamer I have actually done that trip and it is possible using schedule flights through Air Egypt; I don't know about charters you would need to check with your travel agent. From Hurghada to Luxor you can book a Limo for about 35 - 40 GBP (this is not a 'stretch', just a half decent newish taxi!). You have to join a police escorted convoy to Luxor but the car firm will arrange that.

Have you checked with the firm that is organising the cruise, we booked a few years ago with kuoni we flew into luxor and stayed for 4 nights Sheriton hotel then flew to cairo and stayed 3 nights Meridian then flew home from cairo. If you book flights seperate check with flight company.

what we were thinking of doing was flying into sharm if flights were cheap enuf. Catching ferry from sharm to hurghada where our apt will be which we believe costs approx. 20.00 and then returning by ferry from hurghada to catch flight from sharm. It sounds long winded but may be very much cheaper
