Hi ya ladies, many thanks for the replies. We have spent months on the Sharmwomen site and made many good contacts, even somebody who lived just up the road from us in Hull. There are four schools in Sharm and we have been in touch with all of them and been to see them, have interviews and discuss curriculums with them but they all have a glitch of some sort or other. The school in El Gouna, that we stumbled across by accident recently, seems to have everything we are looking for and although it is not in our chosen first place, Sharm, we figured Sharm and Hurghada can't be pole apart in attraction so we may take a look first, even if it is to eliminate it. You all speak very fondly of Hurghada and El Gouna so it must be a very beautiful, peaceful place for you to consider moving there. Thanks for the warm welcome. We look forward to chatting to you all in future
