Friends who returned from Hurghada or Sharma? How is the situation there?
I want to fly with my child during the autumn holidays. I don’t know if it’s worth booking tickets in advance. Or maybe not tempt fate in connection with recent events?

An acquaintance from Dahab has just returned, so delighted with how tourists are now being licked there even in passing fours. Nothing to say about peace. And you definitely have to think about the holidays in advance. There are much fewer boards now than in previous years, and the people have now sharply begun to become more active;)

No need in advance, who knows what will be there in a month.

On holidays, you will have to take care of the ticket in advance. There may be no seats on the plane. Of course, it also depends on the city of departure. The situation at the moment was and is calm. The resort areas are a separate territory of Egypt)))) Advice: you can leave a deposit at the agency, but ask them to monitor the situation in places and book you at the last moment (if you have an agent you trust)

Now we are resting in Dahab at the ibis styles hotel. Everything is calm in Sharm, there are very few people at the airport. The hotel was greeted as dear guests. The attitude towards Russians and Ukrainians is very good, the food is excellent, there were 10 people on the beach today, it seems more by the pool. Complete peace and relaxation. The Egyptians are waiting for the Russians tourists only talk about it. Taxi drivers and sellers are very accommodating.

We are now in Dahab in Happy life village. The hotel is 10% full. The beach is usually occupied by 5-6 umbrellas. 5-8 people swim in the sea. Excursions to Israel for two days with a morning departure. Mount Moses as usual. Peace and order in Dahab. Due to the small number of tourists, trade is worth it. But sellers are not discouraged.

I read in the news the other day that there was a shootout in the subway in Cairo, and it seems quiet in the resorts.
I also read in some review that patrols with Kalash walk around Sharm. Previously, I remember these berets only in places of excursions.

I remember the first time I went to Egypt in the 90s, they put an Arab in civilian clothes on the bus, he had a short-barreled UZI machine under his jacket. The girls on the bus were all staring at him. Why young, with weapons, strong :)
And then I kind of tensed up. If everything is calm, why are they giving a submachine gunner to the bus. And most importantly, that he alone will do, if suddenly something.
On the other hand, it’s better to let them go and guard.

Fifth time in Egypt (Taba, Sharm el-Sheikh and currently Dahab). The number of checkpoints has not increased, no patrols were seen in Dahab. The only thing that annoys a little if the return flight is at night or early in the morning. Sharma, since there is a curfew from 12 at night until 6 in the morning.

We are now in Marsa Alam - everything is quiet and calm, even the people are already full of people. We flew to Hurghada - everything is calm and clear there too, we didn’t notice any changes, no new posts and other things. Everything is as before.

Do resorts have a curfew too? I've read the news, they write that this hour was not introduced in the resorts, only in non-resort cities (Cairo, etc.)

Buses with tourists at night without escort are not allowed to pass at the posts, referring to the curfew in the country.

Regarding the curfew in Sharm: all 12 nights the animation regularly drove those who wished to night discos .. but the locals said that they were periodically forbidden to be in the city at night (in August). Good luck with your vacation!
