The Ultimate Cure for the Winter Blues
The journey from Oslo to Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most effective ways to escape the dark, cold months of the Norwegian winter. It transports you from the snow-covered runways of Gardermoen to the palm-fringed coast of the Sinai Peninsula, where the desert meets the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Whether you are a diver seeking some of the world's best coral reefs, a family looking for a relaxing all-inclusive resort, or a couple wanting guaranteed sunshine, Ready2Go is your dedicated local partner. We specialize in connecting Oslo with Egyptβs premier resort destination, ensuring your holiday starts with a seamless and secure booking experience.
Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Trip to the Red Sea?
Sharm el-Sheikh is a favorite for Norwegians, but flight availability can fluctuate between seasonal charters and scheduled services. Navigating these options to find the best value and travel times requires local expertise. Ready2Go offers a distinct advantage: we are a Norwegian travel agency that prioritizes your security and peace of mind.
- Security & Reliability: Traveling to North Africa requires trusted partners. We operate under strict Norwegian consumer protection regulations. If flight schedules shift or travel advice changes, you have a local support team to turn to, providing a safety net that anonymous global search engines cannot match.
- Intelligent Routing: We analyze the market to find the best connections. During the peak winter season, we prioritize direct flight options to get you to the sun in under six hours. For off-peak travel, we filter for efficient connections via major hubs like Istanbul or Cairo, ensuring you spend less time in transit.
- Transparent Pricing: We believe in honest communication. The price you see at the start is the price you pay. We strip away hidden fees, offering a straightforward booking experience that lets you budget for your diving courses and desert safaris without stress.
The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Sharm el-Sheikh (SSH)
Connecting the North to the desert coast is a journey into warmth.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight (seasonal) typically takes approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes. It is a comfortable medium-haul journey. If traveling via a connection, we select routes that minimize layover times.
- Arrival in Sharm: You will land at Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport (SSH). It is the third-busiest airport in Egypt, designed specifically to handle large volumes of tourists. Located just 10-20 minutes from most major resort areas like Naama Bay and Soho Square, your transfer to the pool is incredibly quick.
Destination: Sharm el-Sheikh β Sun, Sand, and Sea
Sharm el-Sheikh is a purpose-built paradise, offering luxury and adventure in equal measure.
- World-Class Diving and Snorkeling
For many, the main draw is the Red Sea. The Ras Mohammed National Park offers some of the most spectacular diving on the planet, with vibrant coral walls and abundant marine life. Even with just a snorkel and mask, the house reefs at most hotels offer an aquarium-like experience just steps from the beach. - Resort Life
Sharm is famous for its high standard of hospitality. Whether you prefer the bustling nightlife and cafes of Naama Bay or the upscale, manicured environment of Soho Square, there is a district to suit your style. - Desert Adventure
Turn your back to the sea, and the majestic Sinai mountains await. Sunset quad biking tours, camel rides, and Bedouin dinners under the stars offer a magical contrast to the beach life.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Visa Regulations: For many tourists staying within Sharm el-Sheikh (Sinai Peninsula) for less than 15 days, a free "Sinai Only" entry stamp is available upon arrival. If you plan to travel to Cairo or stay longer, a full Egyptian Visa is required. Always check the latest requirements before you fly.
- Currency: Egypt uses the Egyptian Pound (EGP), but US Dollars and Euros are widely accepted and often preferred in tourist areas.
- Climate: This is a year-round destination, but for Norwegians, the best time is October to April. The summer months (June-August) can be intensely hot (40Β°C+).
- Water: Do not drink tap water. Always use bottled water for drinking and brushing your teeth.
