Hi Kat, yes, it’s complicated with visas overland as opposed to flying in. But, I think UK does run regular flights now so it may have changed. It’s best to check. Mount Sinai was on my list but no time, unfortunately, there are tours that run there to book once you get there or on GetYourGuide. I don’t unfortunately but I always found that the bigger hotels had boutiques that were reliable :) I would ask your concierge for advice. Hope this helps! Sophie x

Had no idea u didnt need a visa if u come in from Hurghada. We’re getting in from Egypt. I was interested in visiting Mt Sinai until I found out it’s not the one mentioned in the Bible – that one’s in Jordan! – though it probably still is nice to visit. I read your article on how you *almost* were scammed. Do you know the best place to buy gold in Aswan now?

Great blog.
Just wanted to say that EasyJet currently offers flights from London to Sharm ElSheikh.
I don’t think that the ferries are currently running.

Hi Danny, then it must have changed since I went and there were no direct flights due to unfortunate tragic events in the past which if you did some basic research you should know. When booking travel always do your own research and find the latest advice from U.K./Egypt government websites. This is an article about whether or not to choose Hurghada or Sharm El Sheik. I have been to both and was shedding some light for travellers while in Egypt. I would hardly call all of the 3000 words of advise given in this article ‘sketchy’. That’s a bit dramatic, it’s just that one point. But if you have a question you’d like to ask, as someone who has been there, I’ll be happy to help you. Have a great day! Sophie

Upon checking I can fly from all major UK airports DIRECT so either the rules have just recently been changed and direct flights are back on or the information in this article is sketchy at best??

Hi Filipa, unfortunately, I wouldn’t like to say. I would like to hope that Egypt has strict rules for this problematic time. But, it’s always best to do your research as all-inclusives are usually quite busy. Plus you’ll be sharing the food in buffet’s and the pools etc. I would have a look at the Hotel’s policy and read some unbiased reviews first before you book. Thanks, Sophie x

I came late to this party, but can you tell us how it’s working covid wise? How is testing, and if you can travel inside the country without testing?

Thank you.
Amazing article by the way 😍
