bells0 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Heading to Sharm next Sunday for the 1st time:D Any tips for the place? - staying at the Hilton Shark's bay and only plan on leaving the resort for a couple of nights. What's the deal with the visa? and what do you guys do cash wise? - take Egypt £ or Us $ [both not doing to good at the mo against the £!] Have mask and snorkel ready for a week of warmth!!

Mac Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 As in the 16th? Flying with Thomson? See you on the plane if you're flying from Gatwick - which I guess you're not? Flying from Manchester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 What's the deal with the visa? and what do you guys do cash wise? - take Egypt £ or Us $ [both not doing to good at the mo against the £!] Take Egyptian £ - you can get money out there easily enough but tell your bank you're going to Egypt otherwise chances are the machines won't give you any cash. With the visa when you go in the main arrivals hall don't join the big queue of sheep. Go to the desks to the RIGHT of the big queue and you'll get your visa for 10/12/15GBP (depends on who's on the desk ) and you don't have to queue. You only need this visa if you're going OUT of sharm so say Ras Mo etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells0 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 (edited) Yeah 16th from Manc with Thom0's+++ Dont plan on leaving Sharm but girlfriend has friends who live in Northern Egypt who are gonna come down for a a day and there is talk of us going dune buggying. May as well get visa just in case. Can't wait to chill out for a week and swim with tha fishes! Edited November 7, 2008 by bells0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 For the money i'd get one - you can't get them once you've left arrivals, so you're stuffed if you change your mind. One restaurant I would thoroughly recommend is the Fisherman's rest in Old Sharm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bells0 Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Another quickie for ya Mac;) - take it there will be cash points in the airport? [and before we get to the visa desk] Girlfriend gets comission free withdrawls so reckon thats the best option as we wont need much cash - plan on taking advantage of the all inclusive stuff as much as poss.

Mac Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 There's one cash machine in arrivals and it's notoriously unreliable so pretend it doesn't exist. Get some Egyptian $ before you go Once you get into Sharm there's cash machines pretty much everywhere. Oh, visa & taxi you can pay in sterling anyways by the way.
