I am looking forward to getting back to Sharm in October, first time since 2015. Of course, still not able to fly direct from the UK to Sharm.
I am flying on 13th October at 15:00pm from Heathrow to Cairo with EgyptAir, arriving Cairo 20:40pm 13 October (terminal 3)
Then a connecting flight (again EgyptAir) from Cairo (again, terminal 3) departing 22:00 13 October 2018, arriving in Sharm airport 23:00 on the 13 October.
Having not travelled this route before, can anyone advise what Cairo airport is like to navigate. And do we have to pick up hold luggage in Cairo, or will this move automatically from the Heathrow plane to the Sharm connecting flight?
And do we still need to buy a visa in Sharm airport, for diving outside the immediate region (i.e. Ras Mohammed)? And could you remind me how much the visa is?
What is Sharm like at the moment? Quiet? Thanks all for any advice you can provide.
