Sharm El Sheikh Warning or Danger Tips by tissie

Sharm El Sheikh and the whole of the region has been the subject of several terrorist attacks recently. IMHO this should not put you off visiting the area (see www.fco.gov.uk for up to date travel advice).

You will find levels of security very high ( police and guards in all hotel lobbies, security guards on organised excursions, checkpoints on roads) and although this feels strange at first it is actually reassuring. The country relies heavily on tourism and is making great efforts to make sure tourists are safe.

If you are planning to travel about the area independently you will need to check the procedures for entering the desert etc and be more vigilant and sensible than you might usually be on holiday but that's no bad thing anyway!

Go for it and have a great time.
