TL;DR

The visitor mix in Sharm El Sheikh varies by hotel and season. In August, many Egyptian and other Arab families are noticeable, while Russian-speaking guests, Poles, Germans and Italians are commonly seen among international visitors.

What the community said

Observations from early September suggest fewer German and Polish visitors, with even fewer Ukrainian travelers. However, international European guests combined may still outnumber Russian-speaking tourists.

German, Polish and Ukrainian visitors

In some fully booked hotels in mid-August, Russian-speaking guests were estimated at around 60% of visitors. Egyptian travelers were also common, alongside guests from Italy, Germany and Turkey.

Around 60% Russian-speaking guests

Other August observations show the opposite pattern: in hotels dominated by Arab families, Russian visitors could make up only about 0.5–1%, while Italians stood out among foreign guests. This suggests the mix depends heavily on the individual hotel.
