Plan your arrival in Sharm el-Sheikh.

A Red Sea break starts with matching your flight to the right resort. Share the hotel name, travellers and any diving equipment so we can compare Sharm el-Sheikh options with the baggage and arrival arrangements your holiday needs.

North Africa · Red Sea beaches & diving

Sharm el-Sheikh International (SSH) is selected. Confirm your resort address before arranging the airport transfer.

Before you book

Use the exact resort address

Naama Bay and other Sharm resort areas should not be treated as one transfer address. Ask your hotel or transfer provider to confirm the destination, meeting instructions and child-seat needs. A late arrival also deserves a check of reception arrangements and how you will contact the driver.

Price your equipment before choosing a fare

For a diving holiday, tell us the size and weight of any equipment bag. Sports equipment can have separate acceptance rules or charges, and a suitcase allowance does not settle every question. Review the operating airline rules for each flight, including any connecting sector.

Match entry permission to the whole trip

Limited resort entry arrangements should not be assumed to cover every Egyptian itinerary. Check current Egyptian requirements for your nationality, particularly if adding Cairo or travelling beyond the resort area. British citizen passport holders can start with the FCDO entry page and its official links.

Questions and answers

Can I add Cairo to my Sharm holiday?

Tell us before booking. The additional journey changes your transport plan and may affect the entry permission required. Compare the complete itinerary and confirm documents for every planned stop.

Does a flight quote include a resort transfer?

Check the inclusions shown in your quote. Supply the hotel address if you also need help with arrival planning, and confirm who is responsible for meeting you if the flight is delayed.

Can I bring my own diving gear?

Ask for the equipment to be checked against the airline rules before ticketing. Provide packed dimensions and weight, and identify any restricted items so the airline can confirm how they may be carried.
