Sharm is a very safe place, possibly dare i say safer than some UK cities and towns. Security policeman patrol around Sharm in designated areas. It is safe to even walk around on your own if you wanted to. As for bombs, its very rare if the terrorists strike the same place twice. I have been going virtually twice a year since 2005 and never witnessed anything.
However, I have been to Egypt 11 times in 4 years (the first time being 10 days after the bombings at Taba Hilton) and am going again in July. Although very small level crime exists eg swopping notes in a taxi so you pay more than you should, crime as a whole is VERY low. I can honestly say that I feel MUCH safer in Egypt than I do anywhere in the UK!

Hi I go 6 times a year so that says it all really! Wherever you go in the world there is a terrorist risk. We were sat at Gatwick the year the London bomb went off and was flying back from Sharm when the one went off in Naama. They have tightened up the security.
