Your Prospects in a Nutshell If you are a gay tourist looking for a handsome Egyptian partner, you will have to work hard. You would find Luxor, Aswan or Siwa a lot easier and cheaper. If you are an Egyptian looking for a handsome tourist partner then your chances are excellent if you can afford the high cost of living. But you will find Dahab a cheaper alternative and it has many young backpacking tourists. On the upside Sharm El-Sheikh offers plenty of opportunities for sex on safaris or while snorkelling (see below) ! Introduction Warning posted December 2002: SINAI RESORTS ARE HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO TERRORIST ATTACK. Click here.. Though the offshore waters and reefs may be beautiful, the twin settlements of Sharm El-Sheikh and Namma Bay are ugly, sterile concrete settlements. Sharm itself is a dormitory town harbouring the many Egyptian employees working at Naama Bay and those tourists who can't afford the expensive resorts. Both places are entirely 'artificial' in that they have grown up entirely to cater to the package holiday industry over the last quarter century. For convenience these two locations, separated by seven kilometres of increasingly built on desert, are referred to under the umbrella label of Sharm El-Sheikh or 'Sharm' in holiday brochures. It's difficult for most ordinary Egyptians to visit Sharm because of the relatively high living costs and the many road check points on the three hundred mile road journey from Cairo where Egyptians without confirmed employment or hotel booking risk being turned round or detained. Consequently the ratio of handsome Egyptians to handsome tourists, uniquely for Egypt, favours the hosts and not the tourists who greatly outnumber them. In the autumn and spring, tourists might find better odds, but only marginally. Naama Bay Naama Bay is the focal point - a collection of souvenir shops and restaurants and overdeveloped beach front - of the surrounding resort hotels; some within walking distance and others which can only practically be reached by taxi [more expensive than elsewhere in Egypt] or hotel bus. The "town" is small and almost impossible to get lost in once you've discovered that there's little more to it than a single street lined with overpriced souvenir shops and a few adjoining shopping alleyways, including a small market adjacent to the Sanafir Hotel. Here you can usually find a youthfull stall holder to chat up during less busy periods. The Beach Each short stretch of beach is owned by a different hotel but you are supposedly allowed on any section providing you don't use chairs and parasols reserved for hotel guests. Egyptians may find their freedom more restricted but with luck should be able to find a small slice of public beach near the Novotel. Downtown Sharm Sharm el-Maya or Downtown Sharm, to use its more common but dubiously merited description, is also a modern development, but it is atleast more authentically Egyptian than Naama Bay. You can relax in one of the kahwas (coffee shops) and join the men smoking shishas (waterpipes) and playing backgammon or dominoes. But you need to be a little more careful than in Naama Bay regarding your standards of dress. While tourists wearing beachwear are no great surprise in Naama, such immodesty in Downtown Sharm could risk public anger. Finding a Place You will find it near impossible to book or to smuggle an Egyptian friend into your hotel room. Even if you have discovered a hotel where an open plan layout of chalets with their own private entrances makes such an adventure possible you have to bear in mind the considerable risk to your partner and possibly to yourself if you are caught. It is likely he won't have enough money to rent his own private flat in which case you will need to find somewhere reasonably discreet to enjoy each other's company. You might consider 'snorkelling' in one of the many quiet coves along the coast north of Naama Bay but beware the risks from the sea, tidal currents, the sharp corral, the police and the embarassment of being discovered inflagrante by a passing tourist boat. Alternatively you could rent a jeep, camel or horses to explore the mountains. Take along some beer and music and an understanding driver. Ensure he doesn't assume he can join in unless invited ! A sunset jeep trip to Wadi Mandar with dinner included should set you back about forty dollars. A trip by camel may be marginally cheaper but will take a lot longer and your buttocks will be sore before the festivities start. Overnight horse trips can also be arranged for about fifty dollars. The most convenient option may be to rent your own car from Avis [tel: 069 602 400 or 069 600 979], Shark Limousine [069 603 200], Hertz [069 600 459] or CRC [069 600 407]. You might also be able to rent two beach huts at Shark Bay resort [Beyt el-Irsh], ten kilometres north of Naama Bay. It's unlikely you will be able to share one hut and you may need to book your huts separately [ie. don't walk up toegether] to minimize suspicion. Nightlife Although many hotels have their own discotheques and entertainment, there are only two nightclubs we know where you stand a chance of finding someone who isn't a tourist. The Bus Stop discotheque at the Sanafir Hotel [entrance about twenty Egyptian pounds including a drink] which starts to get busy from around midnight or the Hard Rock Cafe, a five minute walk inland on the main road.
