   hi,

   i'm a 35 y.o. Australian living with my Danish wife in Copenhagen. We have just booked a quick one week trip to Egypt over the easter break so we can thaw out from this freezing place.We have nothing booked at this stage except our flights from Copenhagen to Cairo arriving March 23rd. I have been to the Red Sea before in 98 and that's where we will be heading straight for. Maybe u can help us out with some of these questions?

   1) Where should we go? we r outgoing and young with no kids and we hate package deal tourist traps... we like things quiet, clean and stylish. Dahab, Taba or Sharm?

   2) We arrive into Cairo on a Wednesday afternoon and we want to get onto a beach asap.... what's the most cost effective and quickest way to get to that part of Egypt?

   3) Any recommendations for specific hotels? we don't have all the money in the world but we do like things to be as I mentioned it above.

   4) any other advice u may think is relevant to help us enjoy our time there?

   thankyou so much for taking the time to read this and if u choose to reply thankyou even more.

   first of all if youre trying to avoid tourist traps, stay away from sharm. Dahab is a much more fun place to be . As for the quickest way from cairo to the Red Sea coast, flying is obviously the quickest, but not the most cost effective. There are buses from Cairo to Taba (5-6 hours) and from there you can take a taxi down the coast (1-2 hours). There are buses as well , taxis are just more convenient, and not expensive if you know how to bargain.
