Sharm el Sheik in February?

[DisillusionedOldGit]

good luck getting a direct flight or insurance..

no one is flying there other than russians

Good enough for those ignorant twats .

 

[Sam Handwich]

The Ruskies have spoiled Sharm just as much as Isis.

I have a direct flight as it is no longer considered a no go zone.

 

[Epping]

think you've sussed it Epps, £100 a night at Radisson or Le Meridien http://www.trivago.co.uk/?cpt=55603&iRoomType=7&aHotelTestClassifier=&iIncludeAll=0&aPartner=&iPathId=556&aDateRange[arr]=2017-02-11&aDateRange[dep]=2017-02-18&iGeoDistanceItem=0&iViewType=0&bIsSeoPage=false&bIsSitemap=false&



we were at the Radission the first time the skunks got relegated, happy memories

You clearly have more balls than a lot on here.

I think Sharm is out of bounds from government advice

Hurghada is still open for brits and cheap

£270 for a week AI next week

 

[bennett83]

Wouldn't go even if you paid me

 

[Dappa]

I'd rather book in to a travel lodge in Newcastle ffs

 

[Old Prestonian]

Sounds lovely, you get yourself there pet.

I always like to go somewhere hot in feb/Mar as that is when the dark and cold begin to kill me.

I've done Cape Verde and Canaries. I wanted to do Gambia but can only find flights on a Thursday.

So will Sharm be warm enough to enjoy a swim in mid Feb?

Full of scratters but the water temp should be OK.

 

[squashjoe]

Hurghada looks good at the price.

 

[JAZZMANB]

I wouldn't know. I just want some winter sun.

Went to Madeira in Feb when my wife had a winter moment and it was early to mid 20s temps

 

[Daffy]

Cyprus not a better option ?

I suggest you read this thread before you consider the Gambia: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/gambias-dictator-defeated.1303521/ It initially looked as though there'd be a peaceful transition of power after the elections, but it's all gone pear-shaped. This is the current FCO advice:

Still current at:
8 January 2017
Updated:
6 January 2017
Latest update:
Summary – the result of the 1 December 2016 Presidential election is being contested by the current President (Jammeh); there’s a risk of possible unrest as the scheduled handover date of 18/19 January 2017 approaches; this could include Banjul International Airport being closed at short notice; you should follow events closely, keeping in regular contact with your tour operator and airline and continue to monitor travel advice and social media updates in the run-up to the handover in case tensions rise and the current deadlock isn’t resolved; avoid large crowds and avoid discussing politically sensitive topics in public.

Right now, I wouldn't touch Egypt with a barge poll. I suspect others have said the same.
Greece might be ok. Crete possibly?

Ok for Ducks, no good for sun worshippers

it will be hot, I went in december some years ago and it was boiling, you may see my name in the camel bar in naama bay if you go

i was there one xmas (before it was popular with the proletariat riff raff) and the weather was great and the sea temp was spot on...

shame about the russians though

Aye (RT link for your benefit): https://www.rt.com/news/322393-russian-plane-crash-terrorist-attack/

It's crazy to consider Sharm at the moment. There's an active Islamist insurgency on the Sinai Peninsula.

Sharm is a total shithole, seriously, do not go there.

Went to Hurghada in February to the Jazz Aquamarine.

Heated pools and a very shallow slope into the sea, sea was lovely and warm.

Temps mid to high 20s and didn't see a cloud for a week.

Due to previous experiences in Sharm did the slightly embarrassing thing of never leaving the hotel for a week.
