Will it be safe

[TheHighlander]

How do people?

Me and the misses are planning another wee trip away this year and fancy SHarm El Sheikh.

Only downnside is all this trouble in Cairo,Luxor although the FCO are saying its safe to travel to Sheikh I was curious do we think the trouble is going to spread there anytime soon?

I have been reading on various forums that you cannot tell there is any troubles when in Sharm but I just thought someone on here might have some more info/views ect

Thanks in advance

I was in Sharm shortly after the revolution (original one) and there were no signs that anything had happened, but we also spend three nights in Cairo on the way to Sharm and apart from a few burnt out buildings near the Egyptian museum there was little to indicate anything had happened. Though our guides did say tourism was way down on previous years, I suspect it is even worse now.

So I would have no problem going to Sharm, in fact I might do it during the winter as I suspect there could be some good offers.

Thanks for the response.

The prices are so cheap and its a place I have always fancied going.

I have read there was a peaceful demonstration where locals swere handing out Egyptian flags to tourists and it was laughs and cheers but apart from that I havent read of any trouble in Sharm.

But just a bit nervous about booking incase its likely to spread itensly if that makes sense.

I understand your concern, and my wife wanted to cancel our stopover in Cairo, as it was we shortened it, but in reality her major concern while we were there was the driving not civil unrest.

You can never be 100% sure nothing bad will happen but tourism is the lifeblood of Sharm and everything will be done to keep it safe.

Aye exactly.

Well its booked now only 33 sleeps to go :-)
