Just back from a week in the sun, european island off Africa.

Of course speedos all the way, blue and red arena, royal blue ab classic and navy/white WJ ab.

Sadly out of a large hotel I was the only speedo wearer I saw all week, there were one or two square cuts. However I was not aware of any reaction to walking around the pool or emerging from the sea adjacent to the pool area. I started with the ab classic, the blue arena and then the bright red arena. The WJ suit does hang pretty low at the front so I did not wear it in front of families but wore it for morning swims before most arrived.

One day we went on a catamaran trip with several dozen others. This stopped for a while to allow some sea swimming and jumping off the boat. All the other guys were already in board shorts so went in like that. The girls stripped off to tiny bikinis with thongs. I just stood up in the middle and dropped my (short) shorts to reveal my blue arena briefs which I swam in and then lay on the deck after to dry.

Great fun but sad not to see any other speedo wearers.

Thanks for the encouragement. Wife and I are going to Cairo and staying at a hotel then taking a cruise at the Nile’s, I am planing to pack one or two pair of speedos. I am not sure if wearing a speedo at the hotel pool is okay. I would see what other people wears I guess.

No experience of that area but would think if there is wide mix of nationalities at the hotel it will be ok.

I don't know about Cairo, but in Egyptian cities frequented by Russians, such as Hugharda and Sham-el-Sheik, it's relatively normal to see men in speedos.

Thank you I will check my tour itinerary and see if we are visiting any of those cities. We depart to Cairo in 10 more days!
