Condor is recommended!
We booked our flights through Condor and were rebooked on Marabu for the outbound flight. That was not a good experience. The service didn't work. The ordered food wasn't available and the language quality left a lot to be desired. The return flight was different. We flew with Condor and were very satisfied because the service, the ordered food and the drinks service worked. Thanks to Condor, that was really good.

A booster for your sun and sea holiday
Beautiful experience, enrich your Sharm sun and sea holiday with a bath of culture and see the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world. A little tiring but the organization is impeccable, even the restaurant where we had lunch deserves 5 stars for the view.
