Pasha Lounge at SSH usually means the Pearl Lounge in T1
If you see “Pasha Lounge” on a booking site for Sharm El Sheikh, it almost always points you to the same pay-per-use Pearl Lounge in Terminal 1 after security. The space sits airside in T1’s international area, so you need a same-day boarding pass for an international flight from Terminal 1 to get in.
Access is pay-per-use, typically via third‑party programs like Priority Pass, LoungeKey, or Mastercard Airport Experiences that list the Pearl Lounge in Terminal 1 by name. Many of those older listings still say Pasha Lounge, but check the lounge code (SSH2 on some platforms) and terminal label (T1) to confirm you’re looking at the right place.
The Pearl Lounge in T1 generally opens for the main international bank of departures, with hours commonly showing as several hours before the first outbound flight until the last scheduled departure. Expect basic hot food and snacks versus restaurant‑level plates, and plan on soft drinks, tea, and coffee at the bar counter, with alcohol availability depending on current local rules at Sharm El Sheikh.
Most cards and passes that cover Pearl Lounge at SSH T1 allow a stay of about 3 hours before departure, and walk‑up entry is usually priced in the same band as other regional pay‑in lounges (think a few dozen US dollars per adult). Kids are typically charged at a reduced rate or counted under a guest allowance, but the exact policy rides on your specific program or card.
Right now there’s no strong evidence of two different lounges called Pasha and Pearl operating side by side in Terminal 1, and recent photos on lounge‑review sites all show Pearl‑branded desks at SSH. If your confirmation email says Pasha Lounge, expect the check‑in staff at the Pearl Lounge desk in SSH T1 to recognize it and process you normally.
One practical tip: match what’s printed on your card or pass (Pearl Lounge, Terminal 1, international) with your boarding pass before you head airside, as SSH also has Terminal 2 and you don’t want to clear security in the wrong building and then backtrack under time pressure.
