Recently went to Sharm el sheikh with my 2 friends we are all 23 year old girls, we found it amazing. It is so much safer and more westernised I would say then other cities in that area. You can go clubbing, out to eat, they have many fast food chains and shops you would see in Europe, everyone is very friendly and goes out of their way for you. The only thing I would say is do expect people flirting with you non-stop which can be a little intense at first but if you say stop talking to me or I’m not interested etc they will respect that. U-drive is a great app for cheap taxis but the taxis are unregistered so if you get one be careful and if you feel safe and comfortable with the driver ask for his WhatsApp because then you can use him again and know you will be okay.

Sharm was beautiful, nice beach holiday and clear water with small reefs and colourful fish around! Went with friends and enjoyed it so much! 3 ladies walking around their city without any interruptions. Locals polite and super cheap taxies around. Defo recommend doing driving with instructor and take a boat trip! Be aware of food, we have suffered from food poisoning so take medicine with you just in case! For 6 nights, all inclusive and flights £320
