The only times I had the Sharmm-el-sh.ts was after eating traditional
Egyptian food. Last week I put it down to the humus that accompanied the
meal.

I have had the Sharm Quick step on 3 out of 4 visits .... just put it down
to Egypt, wife had a bad case of it this time, such is life I guess.
Interesting when in Dahab ... it was the Egyptian Dive master who was doing
the 100m sprint up to the toilets every so often .... so locals get it as
well (and so they should !)

It's difficult to avoid the local food when you're on a boat and the crew
prepare the food! Frankly AFAIC eating differently is all part of the
experience of travel, and a part I generally welcome. What I think is wise
to avoid is any use of tap water. Beware salads, rinsed in tap water f
course. Once cooked, the water will have boiled for a long time. I also
avoid tea and coffee as the water won't boil for long enough. Soft drinks
the order of the day. Bottled water OK.
