water sport holiday

Has anyone been to both Turkey AND Egypt on holiday?

If so did you have a preference to either, i am looking to go in september, but im undecided – not necessarily for these two, but are currently our preferences (me + gf)

Like a whole lot of things, water sports, shops, markets, bars, restaurants etc, nice beaches but also historical sites too maybe general interest museums.

any ideas guys?

Yes,
It all depends on what you like to do; but here is the contrast in General:
Water Sports:
Both Destinations offer amazing options in water sports; costs are less in Egypt than they are in Turkey; and Scuba Diving/Snorkling in General is better in Egypt.
Shops and Markets:
Both destinations offer the traditional markets; The Turkish goods are generally higher in both quality and price; In Egypt the selection is larger; the prices are much less but its extremely difficult to find good quality. In both destinations prepare to Haggle as the goods are marked up to 3X what their market value is ; around 5X what the merchant purchases them for.

The same applies to bars and restaurants; again better quality in General in Turkey for meat dishes however the seafood in Egypt is galaxies better especially if you eat in a specialized restaurant.

The Egyptian beaches are superior; Especially in Sharm al Sheikh; El Gouna (Hurgada) and the North Coast. The water is extremely clean and crystal clear and the beaches are very very clean. Turkey does not offer any private beaches so be expected to smell a ton of meat being grilled walking around the beach.

Both desitinations have wealthy offers in terms of Museums; In Turkey its mostly Islamic; with a few byzentine options. In Egypt; You will have Islamic; Pharoanic and Greek type of Museums.

The Egyptian Museum is probably the most interesting of all.

If your planning on an Egyptian visit I would recommend:
1st day in Cairo ; 2 days visiting Egyptian Museum,Pyramids and any Islamic sites.
4th day going to either Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada for 5 days (Sharm is preffered if you like Scuba Diving) otherwise in Hurghada you can go to El Gouna or Marsa Alam
Then going by Alexandria to finish the visit.

If your going to Turkey I would recommend:
first two days in Istanbul visit the SultanAhmet and Aya Sofya (same spot).
4th day going to either Bodrum or Antalya (depending on the type of watersports you like)
Upon Return to Istanbul I would recommend visiting Yelova and Bursa
