Wouldn't go there now desu. Eilat or Aqaba are basically the same but safer. Egypt is a mess

do: check your country's travel advice

don't: actually go to Egypt

What a fucking shit hole. In all my years of travel and over 30+ countries visited, Sharm is the place I think is worst. Just napalm it all.

It's a completely artificial tourist 'town'. Full of mostly Russians and other Euro-pleb package tourists. It's where Egyptians go to rip off tourists for some years before they can leave and buy a house/bride/whatever. Everything there is like at least 5 times more expensive than the rest of Egypt, not counting the occasional even higher exorbitant rip-offs prices you'll be charged for ordinary shit. People there are just cunts. Egyptians, being dirt poor and desperate, are greedy people at their best. Then the worst of them come to Sharm to run wild with all their wettest greediest wet dreams, so all bets are off and it's constant wholesale bullshit. Expect every taxi ride to be a headache of aggressive money-demanding, overcharging, and bait-and-switch. I had 3 separate taxis all obviously and purposely drive me to the wrong spot and/or outright lie to me. Irritating even once, but then just completely laughable when it's a standard practice. Shop owners won't haggle (as is usual in Egypt) and get pissy when you turn down their massively inflated prices for made-in-China crap. They're so used to ignorant Slavshits and European lower classes snapping up all their cheap trinkets at prices a 1/3 lower than in Russia, but still laughably priced. Even simply asking for directions turned into an opportunity for some faggot to lie to us, then try to get us into a cabbie he called, planning to charge us $20 (equivalent) for a 150 meter ride to the place we were looking for.

A few nice sunsets and some OK snorkelling don't make up for it. It's a completely classless place. It is 'safe' from Durkadurkas despite Egypt being a volatile shit-nest at the moment, but I would still seriously avoid it. Try Greece, Cyprus or Spain if you really need the Mediterranean beach feel. Safer, more fun, better food, less Arabs.

At this point in history, I agree. Scratch this off your To Do list for at least 5-10 years, and after we'll just see what happens to stability in the region.
