Tours to Egypt - early or time?
The whole world, for the most part with sympathy, watched the development of the Egyptian revolution on January 25, 2011. And now, her nominal goals have been achieved - Hosni Mubarak is no longer president. But what has changed and what must still change in order to achieve an environment suitable for receiving tourists?

Hosni Mubarak's Egypt was built on fear. The police were practically omnipotent and the locals were very afraid of them. As a result, the number of crimes against tourists was almost absolute zero. The police of the post-Mubarak era no longer represent such a formidable force as before, and the population began to show their sympathies or antipathies towards tourists much more freely. And tourists, in general, are arrogant and often tactless people. There are frictions.

One of the first countries to fairly fairly warn its residents that traveling to Egypt was not safe was Russia. For the tourism industry, this was a severe blow - tours to Egypt accounted for most of the packages sold. Communication with the resorts of the Red Sea was well established and cheap. Russian tourists were just beginning to explore the Mediterranean resorts of Egypt when the revolution / military coup broke out.

The main dangers for tourists lie in the extreme poverty of the population, which, as before, is not compensated by the massive repressive apparatus of the state. Against the background of any revolutions, moreover, extremism in society is growing. This is easy to trace in the religious, political clashes in Egypt, which took place after the "victory" over Mubarak. The formation of a normal state is just beginning, while the paths to it can be very tortuous. This was recalled by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov:
“We are interested in the countries of the region being stable and prosperous, so that we have more opportunities for mutually beneficial economic cooperation,” the minister said. “Of course, we have interests in this region. We, as I have already said, are interested in cooperation, including on energy issues.”
“We are interested in the countries of the region being stable and prosperous, so that we have more opportunities for mutually beneficial economic cooperation,” the minister said. “Of course, we have interests in this region.

Today, Lavrov answered the question posed in the title rather unambiguously:
“Now, due to what happened in Egypt, we are not yet withdrawing our recommendations to refrain from traveling, but our people would very much like to return to the beautiful Egyptian resorts”
Therefore, if the spirit of adventurism is not strongly developed in you, you should not go to Egypt yet. On the other hand, if you want to get a medal for courage along with a cheap vacation, now is the time to take such a package.

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak refuses to be discharged from a hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh and prefers to remain under arrest there. He fears that otherwise he will be sent to prison.
This was announced today by sources close to the protection of the former president. His two sons are already under arrest in prison and Hosni fears that he will be sent to prison.

Pietro Del Re | La Repubblica
"Egypt will not turn back, we are ready to re-enter the square"
"Mubarak should have been arrested two months ago, along with 300 people from his entourage. In these weeks, he has cleaned up many of his accounts around the planet. It would be better for him to flee the country, as former Tunisian President Ben Ali did, because that now the prosecutor's office has begun to deal with Mubarak's case. Now it will be extremely difficult for him to leave the country," ElBaradei said.
"History shows that the power of the people is sometimes unstoppable. Just look at what happened in Egypt and Tunisia. I hope the West will help us avoid turning the Arab Spring into an Arab tsunami," ElBaradei said.

First of all, it is worth understanding that neither Egypt nor Tunisia in the proper sense of the word is too early to rank among the tourist dead. Many citizens of the USSR both traveled and will continue to travel in them, especially to Egypt. For a person of average income, Egypt is like a dacha. And some kind of revolution cannot change this worldview. Now, of course, the number of tourists there has declined sharply. Travel agencies blatantly deny this - but there is objective evidence. The number of flights to popular resorts - Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh - has fallen sharply. There is nothing to say about Tunisia - many operators do not sell tours there.

papa74, And who are you by profession, journalists are resting because papa74 writes to us ''news from the fields''.
And not tired of you every day, in every topic the same thing? Or do you also express protest as rebels? That you are not in Sharm with your favorite fish, but scribble horror stories here, and at that time someone feeds Grisha with eggs :)
papa74, you're a wise man, but you've obviously worked hard... is it time for you to rest? the fish are waiting for you

By the way, no matter how I tried to build a query on Google about the current situation in Egypt, practically nothing from the indicated papa74 was found in the search, although there are indeed links to this news.
Therefore, they are useful to me personally .... But by their number and fear-mongering, I get the impression that this is beneficial to someone ...
I'm looking forward to the positive)))

Thank you papa74 for another topic, But nothing today
new - everything is already familiar.
"Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak refuses to be discharged from the hospital in Sharm al-Sheikh and prefers to remain under arrest there. He fears that otherwise he will be sent to prison." -Who did he tell about this? Sorry, but this is not so. Foreign correspondents are not allowed to see him and he did not give interviews to anyone. The question of his arrest has been resolved. He is now under arrest. Egypt does not need new terrorist attacks that will affect tourism. Therefore, the question is now being decided how to transfer him to a military hospital.

Have you ever thought that if the situation in Sharm is critical, then any business will be covered with a copper basin ..?
You have been writing all day today, both on this site and on another site, and everything is the same, it seems that you are being choked by a toad, that you are not here, while others are enjoying the sea without worries on all inclusive and will soon eat smelling mango: ) But I still didn’t understand the war in Sharm? - No, the sea is open, yes, there is food, water, gasoline - yes, there are tourists too. And do the analysis yourself, yes, the situation in Egypt is not stable and it is difficult to predict what will happen tomorrow, but today we lived a day without rallies and in peace, and thank God. And tomorrow will be a new day and what it will bring us only God knows. And to go to the country of the pharaohs or not, everyone decides for himself on his own. And you will make an analysis for us tomorrow, I will wait, otherwise it will be boring tomorrow without your analysis and fresh news. I promise if we have news, we will also write, and only the truth !!!

"Iran has appointed its ambassador to Egypt, UKRINFORM reports with reference to the Iranian television network Press TV. This happened after more than a thirty-year break in diplomatic relations between the two countries after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran.
The appointment, experts say, comes against the backdrop of a thaw in relations between Iran and Egypt.

Papa, the fact that Russia did not open entry for its tourists to Egypt for a long time, probably has a share of politics (free visas to Turkey). The Russians actively bought and booked Turkey while Egypt was closed. At the airport (Hurghada) and in our hotel it was felt that there were fewer foreigners (in particular Germans) than before.

I will not talk about all German TAs, but ETI (Read See hotel chain), from May 14 to June 26, canceled flights from 3 cities, leaving only flights from two. If there were many flights from Stuttgart before, now there are none. Now one flight in Munich collects everyone who flies to all hotels in Marsa Alam and Hurghada, first to Marsa, then transfer to Hurghada, this has never happened before. So, that German tourists all the same diminished. (To the delight of many vacationers)

And I support papa74. The truth must be written, and told to tourists about it, and not just sugary stories about the Red Sea in the hope of quickly selling the tour. There is a war in Libya, in Egypt the internal situation is tense, the population is impoverished, half of them do not work after the revolution. Our people themselves create problems for themselves, and then they themselves overcome them. So papa74 write the news further, maybe they will be very useful to someone.
