We are staying for three weeks in Hurghada leaving on the 25th January for Sharm. I haven't booked the flight yet because we are concerned about the political situation.

Sharm is in the Sinai and from the UK government map it looks very close to problems within Egypt and places to stay away from.

My husband and I had thought about staying Hurghada as we feel safe where we are but I have been unable to reach our travel agent in the UK via Skype, don't understand why this is.

What do members think about the resort I would appreciate your comments.

We traveled on the 25th January from Hurghada and didn't have any problems.
Been in Sharm for just over a week now and it's fine. We haven't traveled just stayed in the same area snorkeling from the different beaches and having a great time, glad we made the trip.
Thanks everyone for the information.
