Sharm is a great place but it takes some time to adjust to the plethora of men. One thing I noticed is that there are no Egyptian natives that are female and mainly men. So just get used to a bit of light harassment if that makes sense. Also haggle! Honestly though as an Arab/African British Woman my radar was probably much higher as I have been dealing with this for much of my life. One thing I can say was using get your guide and going on the ATV/star gazing tour was absolutely phenomenal and I would highly recommend. I came here purely for diving and that’s like what you’ll be doing here. Night life isn’t exactly something I would partake in alone. As it’s off season it’s been quite hard to meet people so be ok with being alone most of the time when not doing a tour. I felt safe just a little bit more hyper vigilant than usual.

In all honesty, Sharm-El-Sheikh was a interesting spin. The people were lovely ver welcoming and friendly, most of the time.. although some if the other tourists behaviour was.. questionable. Despite the stares me and my family got it was a decent experience.

I felt safer alone in Sharm El Sheikh than in my hometown (London). I've been there 3 times. The aggressive trade annoyed me, but I simply ignored it. I dressed conservatively there because it was just easier and I wore a ring.
