Rossall Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Si, book direct with the Intercontinental hotel thats what i have just done we are going out on the 20th for a week, the hotel is $90-$120 per night per room B&B, make sure you book the Soma Bay one as there is an Intercontinental Hotel in Hurghada itself as well. Just find the website and use the 0870 tel number to book, its straight to a UK Agent as well. We booked flights with MyTravel from manchester, now they are steep though ouch !!!!!!! that time of the year though. Quote

Rossall Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Just check the tides at Movenpick in El gouna as they are not good from the 18th onwards Quote
alastairy2k Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 El Gouna Movenpick info & pics here - great place for families. http://www.kitesurfonline.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=21 As Rossall's said, check tides first - low tide's not good, no more than a few inches of water for 200/300 metres out.

marypoppins Posted October 15, 2006 Report Posted October 15, 2006 Guess its the half term week you are after? I went 3 wks ago and they had only 80 people out of something like 240! I think they run until the end of Nov and the winds still good but I dont suppose you can leave it till then? Quote
si-fly Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Posted October 16, 2006 Thanks all will look into El Gouna see if any spaces left. Kids in GCSE years so can only go in 2 weeks of half term!! Thanks again will check tides first! Si Quote
