Can any one let me know what the weather is like in Sharm in January. Im going over on the 6/1 for a week and hoping for lots of hot sunshine, also any new feed back on the hotel Beach Albatross, as i cant find it any brochures ( worrying)

Hi Candy,

Have visited Egypt a couple of times in february but not in january. In feb it's always been a "chilly" 80 degrees F.

I have stayed at The Beach Albatros in Sharm. Travelled with Odyssey, part of Olympic. Not "The Ritz" but we had a really good holiday!

Snorkelling off the beach fantastic! Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was not gourmet but acceptable. Don't pack beach towels, they're supplied. All in all it's a value for money hotel.

Interested to know who you are travelling with as I have noticed it seems to have disappeared from the British travel companies brochures.

Hope january weather is o.k. as we are spending christmas/new year in Nuweiba this year. Apparently you may need a cardy/jacket in the evenings but the daytime should be just what you need to forget about chilly old Britain!

Regards,

Roger.

Thanks for that info, i feel a bit better now. We booked with a company called Travelbargains and also cant find the hotel in a British Travel company brochure but the description is in Med Hotels.

regards
