Flight Information

Many airlines offer both charter and scheduled flights into Sharm-El-Sheikh, Hurghada, Cairo and Taba.

Another option is to book a package into Sharm but organise independent accommodation in Dahab. The vastly cheaper cost of living in Dahab will mean you will still save money overall (one beer is around 30 LE in Sharm and as cheap as 5 LE in Dahab!. Meals start it 10 LE in Dahab contrasting with around 60 LE in Sharm).
