No you can not do that in Egypt.

ayounic

are you daft?

Just because it's a tourist area in Egypt, doesn't mean you can totally circumvent local mores.

The answer is NO.

What a load of old crap. I've been to sharm loads of times(mexicana hotel) & i always go topless, no one has ever told me i cant, i've never been arrested, the men there love it, they all booze, have sex, smoke pot so ignore what all the others say theyre trying to scare you. ive even seen nudes(russians)on diamond beach males & females.
You want to let em hang out you'll be okay everyong does it all shapes & sizes. Go the mexicana its allowed there but the foods crap so dont go full board.

last time i was in egypt was about eight years ago and i remember there were some topless ladies but only around the beach area, so you would be fine, but i wouldn't recommended just because alot of they boys there would bug you ( but you can always call security on them)

No you can not go topless in public places in Egypt, It's against the public decency act... you can get arrested for such behaviour.

Having said that, I have to admit that the mentioned act itself is a little bit vague and flexible... for example using the same outfit or behaviour in different places can result in different legal actions... while a Bikini is perfectly all right in Sharm or Hurghada, wearing one in down town Cairo or even a public beach in Alexandria will get you busted.

So within the same context I know that there are places in Egypt where female tourists do go topless i.e. in some private beaches within a predefined setting... and the authorities do tend to give a blind eye... this has been going on from as early as the 1990 on private beaches and resorts in the red sea region...

But I wouldn't recommend it at all... If you want to go topless... why go through the trouble of breaking the law in Egypt when you have other destinations where this is perfectly legal and welcomed... Spain will be a good alternative...

You must remember you ARE visiting an Islamic country.... many of the guys that work in these hotels are from villages & have never seen a woman in a short sleeve dress let alone a bikini!! You can decide for yourself!!
Females who have no respect for this country & the culture tend to go topless..... The fact that you have posted this question indicates that you are not only respectful but thoughtful to!
Thank you for your consideration!!

you can do whatever you want in Sharm, but actually i ve never seen a topless woman around pools, they go topless just for sun tanning at the beaches.
and to answer your questin precisely; yes i can go topless around the pools all the time in Sharm.

On the beach area, there were Europeans that were topless.
I think its a lack of consideration to others, especially ones with children.

If you're a man, then it's perfectly fine. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to agree with davidg32.

Yes, you can. The more expensive your hotel is the less problem you'll have. I say it as a tourist who were in Sharm-El-Sheikh. I saw some ladies sunbathing topless. Usually other tourists don't pay any attention to it. But hotel male staff might be specially attentive to you, staring or flirting.
Have a nice time out there!

NO!
you prolly dont know ANYTHING about egypt do you?
it is 100% wrong if any girl did that over there... you would not see any girl do that over there.no girl would dare going topless there.. its VERY inerpropreate.there is NO need for that... show some people some respect.

lynneclaire

yes i have seen topless girls round the pools in sharm, but i dont think its really approved of.

we where not meant to go topless in calimera maoderna its respect for the egptians and other holiday makers but plp did and got told to cover up enjoy holiday drink plenty of water and take plenty of suncream enjoy

Wise Heart

Although it's not allowed but in most hotels no one will show objection.
If the pool is crowded or the beach it's not advisable at all.

Aretha Franklin said it best: R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Do NOT go topless in an Arab country, no matter what some of these idiots try to tell you. You WILL get arrested. It is absolutely forbidden, and the penalty is not just a slap on the wrist.

mesho f

yes u can, most tourists in sharm walk around topless

davidg32

You must not have the sense God gave biscuit dough.
You go topless in any of them damn Arab countries, and you deserve what happens to you...
