4. Re: Food poisoning in Sharm. The best way to not get sick (which can happen) is to stay in shade mid day, drink lots of water to stay hydrated and be sensible with what you eat. Remember they may use different oils etc when preparing food which can upset your stomach if you havenβt used these at home.
Sharm is a purpose built holiday area surrounded by a high security perimeter fence. The Egyptian government prioritises the protection of tourists but there is no doubt Sharm would be a tempting target for terrorists. In terns of individual safety, mugging etc, there is no problem.
