  • Magnifico, excelente video. Do you happen to know Hurghada as well? I am really torn between going there and Sharm. When it comes down to it diving in Sharm costs twice as much as in Hurghada. So I was just wondering if you knew whether Hurghada was ok or not, I mean I imagine Sharm and the surrounding area is better, but how much better is the question. Cheers
