Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada - which to choose for a beach vacation in Egypt?

Travelers comparing Egypt to Turkey often find that after visiting Egypt, they lose interest in returning to Turkey — even destinations that previously seemed appealing (like Fethiye).

When choosing between Sharm and Hurghada for a September trip, families who already visited Luxor tend to pick one of these two coastal destinations instead of returning to Turkey.

If deciding on Hurghada, the specific recommendation is to look at accommodation in Makadi Bay rather than in Hurghada city itself.
