i went to egypt in 2010, stayed in Sharm El Sheikh, had a great holiday. people think its dodgy over there at the moment due to the recent protests and changes over there recently, but none of this affected the tourist areas, the tourist areas are one of the countries main sources income so them areas are fine. yeah the shop owners do hassle you when you go out, but that happens in nearly every country you go to.
the weather is great, we never seen a cloud for 2 weeks, we went in october and it was about 90 degrees, but in the summer months its much much hotter.
i would defo go back to egypt again, turkey has never appealed to me
