Hi guys

I did a search but apart from confirmations that indeed EE girls flock to Sharm for holidays, I did not see any details wrt specific resorts where it's known to have the highest concentration of EE girls.

Any suggestions, from direct experience?
I'll be there mid March.


Thanks in advance

Has Russia lifted the ban already on flights to and from Egypt?

As far as I'm concerned, there's only two reasons why anybody would choose Sharm El Sheik over other holiday destinations:

1.) You're into scuba diving.

2.) You're broke, but desperate to take a beach vacation (in the middle of nowhere) and stay at an all-inclusive resort, ignoring that a stone's throw away from the walled and gated confines of your hotel the military forces of Egypt and Israel are fighting a radical Islamic insurgency.

State Department agrees:

Quote:

Sinai Peninsula

The Sinai Peninsula remains a particularly dangerous area, with frequent attacks on security forces and civilians.

The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens anywhere in the Sinai Peninsula as U.S. government employees are not authorized to travel to these areas (with the exception of the beach resort of Sharm El-Sheikh; travel to Sharm El-Sheikh is only permitted by air).

Also remember for example Metrojet Flight 9268:

Quote:

...an international chartered passenger flight, operated by Russian airline Kogalymavia (branded as Metrojet). On 31 October 2015 at 06:13 local time EST (04:13 UTC), an Airbus A321-231 operating the flight disintegrated above the northern Sinai following its departure from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, Egypt, en route to Pulkovo Airport, Saint Petersburg, Russia. All 224 passengers and crew who were on board were killed. The cause of the crash was most likely an onboard explosive device as concluded by Russian investigators.

Shortly after the crash, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)'s Sinai Branch, previously known as Ansar Bait al-Maqdis, claimed responsibility for the incident, which occurred in the vicinity of the Sinai insurgency.

Sounds like fear mongering, and it probably is.

But if you're on a small budget and after EE girls on beach vacation, why not just go to Bulgaria, Turkey or Cyprus? Would have the additional benefit of being able to leave your hotel and actually do or see something interesting if you get tired of the beach.

There's a third reason, actually: I had already booked for a different (still in Egypt) holiday, which I am cutting in half and doing a week in Sharm, just because I've never been and I will be alone.
I'm doing the cultural stuff the first week including Cairo and Luxor.
I'm old enough not to be scared by fucking terrorists to be honest with you mate
If I were not to travel anywhere the US Government has said you should not, you wouldn't leave the US

[zatara]

Even aside from the danger side of things, which, while overstated, is actually a lot realer there than most places I'd say you might best off limiting your time there to less than a week. The resorts are all pretty dead by all accounts since Russians stopped going. There just aren't enough Ukrainians to fill the place reliably, so you'll really struggle to game.

This is from a year ago but not much has changed from what I've heard. They're still "deserted resorts":

[Themin]

hmm ok thanks for that. Will have a think (maybe get one of my plates to join me then...)

[Themin]

actually just thought I am also going to check out the situation on tinder there... then I'll make a decision whether to go alone or not.

[Simeon_Strangelight]

Look on tourist boards with lots of recent entries - of people who have been there. Those locations are nifty - used to be good to pick up girls as many single girls traveled there - sometimes even pro PUAs going.

But as things are now - you have to research it well and worst case take a girl along or be left stranded with dick in hand.

[Themin]

thanks! Maybe worthwhile checking tripadvisor... tinder from the quick look I had seems interesting, half of Kiev seems to be in Sharm ahahah
I am messaging quite a few of the girl who are there now via IG also, to ask them for advice

I have been to Sharm El Sheikh only once. That was back in late 2010 before the Arab Spring came and fucked the whole place up. I brought my then girlfriend. Outside of the hotel where we stayed at, I honestly didn't think much of the place. The resort looked trashy and dirty along with the milieu of taxi drivers and vendors who were looking to rip you off at any opportunity. These fuckers are expert hawkers having been at it since the days of Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

We took a trip into the Sinai and we even needed a military police escort to get us out of the town. St. Catherine's Monastery is a place that should be checked out. However i did make friends with some really cool locals and guys from places like Alexandria and Cairo who invited me to hang out and stay with them in the off season.

Would I go back to Egypt? Damn right but not to Sharm. There were Russians and Poles in my hotel but most were families.

I've been to Sharm twice, both times with a buddy. We went to dive... and the diving is the probably the best in the world. The town is pretty cool with excellent restaurants and decent priced beer but you won't be seeing single women. Outside of the dive tourists its almost 100% Russian/EE hookers and couples. But if you dive, its worth it.

first part I don' disagree, second part...

I've been there twice, also before 2010. I was living in Prague and I went on a package tour with a czech girl and one of her friends. She set up everything so we were staying in a place that was about 90% Czech/EE. It was called Prima Life Rehana. Most of the EE people get an all-inclusive package deal that allows them to get airfare plus all-inclusive hotel for a fraction of the price you would pay if you booked everything alone. But those hotels are not close to downtown Sharm-el-sheikh. I think maybe 15 minutes or more drive from there. The 2nd time i stayed at the Hilton and it was nice. There are 3 hiltons. The oldest one is right on the beach, with palm trees on the beach etc. I think it is the Hilton Farouz. The one we stayed at was across the main road, but we could still use the palm tree beach.

For the EE totty, you'll want those cheaper all-inclusive hotels that are far from the center. British package tours go to them too, so get a map, look for hotels around Prima Life Rehana and then read the reviews about those hotels. I did this before we went and in one review for our hotel one British woman was writing about how her teenage son scored some 20-something Czech totty(!).

Inside those hotels, most of the EE people never go outside without a group. Everything is arranged for them, even the tours to go to places and they all stick together. I saw a couple of French guys there trying to work it, but I dont' remember seeing any unattached pairs of girls in our hotel. A lot of the Czechs only spoke Czech, were with families, or single mom with kids. I guess if you just stay at the beach everyday and go to the buffet and get face time, any girl who wants to do something will give you a chance. In the Prima Life there was an on-site disco, but I never went in there. The other factor is that the local staff are always trying to score any unattached girls and they do quite well with that. One of the two girls I was with was a guy magnet and she had invitations to stuff everyday from the workers and the hotel manager. Later, in Europe I met one guy who was an assistant manager in one of those hotels and he told me that every week new girls arrive and every week there are some that gave it up to the guys working in the hotel. He married a German who just decided to not go home and stayed with him. Then he moved to Europe with her.

Outside of the hotel your best bet may be the old city. People sit outside in cafes and smoke shisha and you can spot the Russians quite easily. They are often in pairs. In the disco the only girl i talked to was an Egyptian who claimed she was a student, but she was freelancing as an escort. There are a lot more guys than girls in those places and when I went to one club with my Czech girl, when i left her for a minute, I came back to find the bouncer guarding her.

Inside the hotel I was always with somebody, but at Prima Life (cheap 4*) there were some potential targets (one girl or 2 sisters with parents, etc). At the Hilton (very upscale for sharm, but not still not expensive if you get it from one of those tours) it was mostly younger couples (i.e. not families) and i didn't see any pairs of girls.

I know a couple of American guys who were living in Prague also and they both did these czech tours to places. One guy met some Ukraine girls online and they invited him to meet them in some beach city in Turkey, he got a package tour to the same hotel they did and he scored one of them plus some others after they left. He also told me that at the pool in the day he could hear girls planning there adventures for the night, including one on her honeymoon who was planning to go out to find a new guy for the night after her husband passed out. The other guy went to Hurghada (Egypt) stayed in one of the package hotels and said he just went to the beach, pigged out at the buffet and slept. He said there weren't many opportunities. The guy who went to Turkey went back the next year and stayed in a 4* hotel and said there weren't any available girls, so he should have stuck with the 3* hotels where girls go when they don't have guys to help them pay.

So, to answer your question, go for a 3* all-inclusive hotels that has package tours coming from the countries that you are interested in. I know a British guy who lives in Moscow and he went down there on one of the package tours after the problems started because it was really cheap. I don't know if it's still like that, but I guess some Russians are still doing the same.
