I don't know where did you get that information that only Egyptian men work there and leave there wives at home house. You are not the only one said that about Egyptian I have heard others Polish people saying that ? They've must have a problem in Poland with the Egyptian.

It was our 4th time at the same hotel. We just love it there. The people are gredat and the staff look after you very well. They work very hard for a little amount of wages. There are not many places to visit in that area and we have seen most of them without too much travelling. OK the beacches are not great in some places. There is a shopping area called Soho which is quite expensive. You can also go to Naama Bay, but go in the evening it looks better. The hotel we were in had many Egyptions with their families and loved talking to us. The Russians were very loud and gready. Not many of the staff liked. There were just a few English people there and they were liked by everyone. Doug and I have just returned from sharm this week. It was our 4th time at the same hotel. We just love it there.

Most of the Russian women that visit there are out for a good time and sleep with every good-looking guy they meet-thus giving all other girls a bad name!!U ust have to sit on the beach or round the pool and you can spot the slappers a mile off. Majority of the men in Sharm will try it on,but there is no need for any guy to paw at a women-threaten then with the tourist police!!!! Be careful and don't let any guy touch you, don't go out alone,go in groups!! And finally,the guy that claims all british women are ugly and fat-2 words for you buddy.

I am an Egyptian tourleader working in Sharm el Sheikh and let me say that in each country there are good and bad people. Concerning hussling at shops, this happens everywhere like Turkey and Spain so something you can see everywhere and if you just say no thank you they willnot push or force you to buy something. Concerning men approaching women it can happen but not to the extent you said it. Egyptian men are very kind and helpful people and just when you come to Egypt try to dress good and I dont ask men to cover themselves no but do not walk wearing bikini in street just try to wear good cloth. I work with British and each week we have 35 flight so Sharm is a good destination for everyone. In Sharm you have avery nice beaches,you can go safari, you can go to Ras Mohammed national park, diving activities, Naama bay has avery nice night clubs like hard rock cafe and pacha,quads activites is recommened in Sharm el Sheikh and also saint cathrine monastry .and also you can go to Petra or Jerusalem and also the amazing soho square. Concerning tiping,tiping is everywhere in the world you pay tiping at any restaurant or cafe you go so if you have good service pay tipping if not dont pay so tiping isnot obligatory. Finally I see you have a personal experince so please do not force and generlaize ur experince on others, I invite everyone to come to Sharm el Sheikh to enjoy the weather and the activites and see the new Egypt.

I went with my best (girl)friend a few years ago and I am absolutely in LOVE with Sharm. We are two attractive young females and i must say I havent been touched or harrassed once. Ofcourse they try talking but for someone who's well traveled, this is to be expected ANYWHERE in the world. I love everything about Sharm and am even contemplating buying an apartment in Delta Sharm and opening up a business. The people are friendly, talkative and respectful. If you know how to haggle this is the place to be. If you dont get something for the price you want, threaten to leave, they'll lower the price, trust me. Basically everything during this vacation didnt go as planned, and yes the hotel i stayed in was crappy but this is what made the trip so worthwhile. All bad things that happen on vacations arent always bad, sometimes you need to just shake it off and laugh at the whole experience. And it helps if you have some Egyptian friends who can show you around and teach you about the ways and customs of Egypt. I must say that the friends i made during my first trip, are extremely loyal and good hearted people who i still communicate with on a daily basis. I absolutely LOVE sharm so much its almost like an addiction. I've been to Egypt twice now and still havent seen a single pyramid because im hooked on Sharm. Yes the shopkeepers all try to talk you into their shops, but hey, thats what they do... bankers bank and shopkeepers try to keep the shop, its as simple as that. They're just trying to support their families so I respect that. The diving and snorkeling is great, the clubs are great and the vibe is awesome. You havent lived if u havent been to Sharm :-) Any advice from locals on living in Sharm is welcome... have a great day xxxx Alessandra I read a few of the comments posted on this blog and I feel the need to share my love of Sharm.

Sharm is a specific type of destination. Not unlike Benadorm in Spain. Nothing outside the confines of the city and only then to other tourist destinations, where you are ripped off. Like any poor country, the locals are paid poorly and expect to have additional tips. What gets me is that all the places in Sharm charge 12% service charge and then the staff want a tip on top off that. This is a management issue which the tourist suffers from. A place like Sharm is great for UK or European residents who want to laze in the sun. As in Sharm there is little else to do without having to pay exorbitant sums of money, like snorkelling off a boat, diving, etc. Like any place for tourists it will only survive if it is value for money. Obviously after the revolution the place is empty which means there are other places with better value for money. So, in short Sharm will become a ghost town if it continues without providing value for money. Time will tell. As for the men, well it is an Arab country, with different cultures. No like then no go.
