| Shore diving isn't necessarily easier - how hard is it to drop off the back of a boat?
It really depends what you want to do with the qualification.
Do you want to work in diving? Abroad? Have you done any research on how easy it is to get a job or how much you could earn?
If you want to work in a particular place then it's best to do the intership there because you will be familiar with local sites and procedures.
If you definitely want to do it in Egypt then consider what skills you will need. Sharm doesn't have much shore diving - in the bay mainly. It does however have a lot of boat diving and procedures for running boat dives are very useful indeed. Making sure all the kit and divers are on board, logging divers in and out, briefing and kitting up divers in time to get in when you arrive and so on.
In Dahab you won't be exposed to those skills but then you might not need them.
It all depends what you will do after you are qualified.
