Anyone been to Sharm El Sheikh? We're off for 10 days, me and the Mrs and the little one (4). Just wondering what to do about money. We're B&B. Neither of us dive but we'll snorkel.


Anyone recently been with an idea of costs and the most convenient way to take money / pay for things? I thought maybe take some Egyption pounds for the airport / getting there and the first couple of days, then get cash from ATMs (the card we have has low costs - for a credit card - for money abroad). Is that sensible? Any idea of costs also much appreciated.


Also also, any recommendations on things to do etc.


Thanks

The last time I went I didn't bother getting Egyptian pounds till we got there - used ATM at Sharm airport. You don't get a great exchange rate in the UK I found.

I've always stayed near the main town, so you can walk in there for dinner. Fantastic choice of excellent places to eat in Sharm (I mean Naama Bay which is the main tourist area). If you're not there, you'll have to get a taxi.

Have you looked at Trip Advisor website? There is loads of good advice there, particularly if you look at the Sharm forum there.

If you like I could recommend some places in Naama Bay.

Been there many times. Cashpoints all over these days.


Take a day trip out to snorkel (remember the beach is sandy, ie not a snorkelling spot!)

there are hotels closer to the reef if yo're not booked already


qu7ad biking in the desert is fun

therwise, it all revolves round the sea

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
