General info

Sharm El Sheik, Egypt, is located at tip of the Sinai peninsula.

Its not the place you meet the ordinary egyptian.Those who work here are often from the middelclass, and are grateful to have access to this job market.

Tourism is Egypts no. 1. income source.

Tip ( applys mostly to the bazars):

Some sellers can be aggressive. Avoid people that say. " excuse me, can I ask you a small question".

The goal is to get you in the shop, give you some tea, and get you to buy something. People who sell perfume and papyrus are the most aggressive.

If you are planning to buy, it's pleasent, if you are only looking, it can be better no to walk inside the shop.

But people are different, some like the entertainment and haggling aspect, and some can't stand it.

And remember, that to buy or not to buy are your choice. The seller will put up an act to be very disappointed and grumpy, but they are never offended.
