I felt safe in the Marina area around the hotel—we were in Pickalbatros. We had a nice person, a diver, who helped us with shopping in the marina and made us feel even safer. We went diving; the fish there were even more colorful than the ones in Sharm El Sheikh. The food was good—though we did need to take meds, of course.
