Crime in Sharm is VERY rare. There is a very relaxed atmosphere here with no underlying feeling of apprehension. One of my first thoughts when coming to Sharm was "why are they being so friendly, what do they want?" Once you realize that everybody is just being friendly you can relax and enjoy the place.
You will get asked to come into shops as they are trying to sell you their wares. In Europe you generally have to ask if you want anything, in Sharm you will get asked. Which can take some getting used to. If you walk through the area where the taxis are you will get asked every 10 seconds if you want a taxi. |
For the kids it is totally safe here. They can run around anywhere without the parents having any fear of abduction. Speaking to the parents of the expates in Sharm they have a problem when returning to Europe in trying to explain to the kids that they can not run around the same as they do in Sharm.
There is a main road which runs through Nama Bay and if your hotel is on the desert side of this road then care is needed in crossing it |
