How dangerous is it to be in Egypt now?
We are planning to fly to Egypt in February with our family, maybe at the end of January, tell me, is the situation tense now or not? I really want to fly, but I'm afraid, especially since we're flying with a child, I'll be glad for your answers. We haven’t taken a ticket yet, so we’re still considering whether it’s worth it or not to fly ...

And what to do there at the end of January, even if we discard the issue of security?
My opinion is that it is better to forget Egypt, Tunisia and all poor Arabia with them for the coming years.

Go ahead and don't worry. Nobody will touch you. Ukraine, unlike Russia, is not at war with the Arab world. As for the weather, here is the weather diary for February 2015. Up to + 30 * the air warms up. https://www.gismeteo.ru/diary/6618/2015/2/

Absolutely safe. I was in December. The charm is empty. There are no Russians. Rest Ukrainians and Arabs.

Absolutely safe. It is right that you ask those who know, but do not believe the media and TV :-) But there is now a cold sea - 22 degrees. Swimming is cold. But it is very convenient to go on excursions - not hot. If the sea is not important to you, then go. Must visit Luxor

Fly boldly. The resort towns are quiet. I would even say quiet. I would even say "whisper"
Lots of police, very strict screening at airports. Even too hard
Lightning does not strike twice in the same place. Yes, and it makes no sense for someone here to arrange all sorts of nasty things again - there are few people, there will be no resonance.
So now Egypt is safer than many other resort countries.

Thank you very much for the answers, we will plan for the time being, if nothing happens we will fly then. We are not afraid of the weather, we have been flying for 2 years in a row at the end of January and the beginning of February, and we swim and sunbathe, the breeze can be a little annoying, but in general it doesn’t spoil our vacation, we flew once in September, it was hot, at 7 in the morning it was already It was impossible to be outside, sooo hot. And in winter we like it more, during the day a swimsuit in the evening is a light jacket without extremes.

She returned from Hurghada on December 29. Not hot, not scary, but ... do nothing at all! It would be colder in Prague, Krakow or Budapest, but definitely more fun!

In the Egyptian resort town of Hurghada, gunmen opened fire at the entrance to a hotel where foreign tourists stay. It is still known that three tourists were killed and several were injured.

We, Ukrainians, cannot be intimidated by such nonsense. In Donbas worse things are happening. Even a zhlobskaya thought flashed through my head - can it be that tours to Egypt will become even cheaper? :)) We'll definitely go to Egypt.

That's why you need to go not to Hurghada. :-) For example, Marsa Alam is a quiet and completely peaceful place

In connection with today's news about the attack on the hotel, we will definitely not fly, we will now reorient ourselves to the Carpathians, albeit cold, but safe!!! Unfortunately, other hot countries are expensive for us on the budget. We will wait for the summer and go to our sea))) It is a pity that this happened with Egypt .... We loved flying there so much.

A local resident, who personally knew the attackers at the hotel in Hurghada, said that the men were driven to illegal actions by the lack of profit and the ability to pay the rent of their store, Sputnik Armenia reports.

As per prosto2000's answer
. Nobody knows their fate... I was convinced of this when the neighbor's grandmother was walking down the street, and an ice block fell on her head. And who could have foreseen such a death?

No one knows exactly what happened, but one thing is clear that Egypt is now on the buzz and will naturally inflate the news. Criminal showdowns are everywhere, I agree with just 2000, of course you need to worry about your fate, but this should be within an adequate framework.
And the weather we have now is +25, the sea is +22, yesterday there was a sandstorm for a couple of hours, today it is generally calm.

Everyone decides for himself whether to fly or not, of course, for those people who have already bought a ticket for themselves, you don’t need to panic, but you need to fly and enjoy your vacation, I’m 100% sure that the vacation will go well, but for those who have not bought a ticket yet and are in thought, advise I won’t do anything either, since I myself haven’t been there and I don’t know the situation, everyone acts to the best of their suspiciousness))) Maybe if they flew 2 years with my husband, maybe they would think more, but with a child I think it’s not worth the risk.
And as for the summary of the city where I live, this does not mean that you do not need to protect your life and the lives of your loved ones, relying on "maybe it will blow over." The feeling of fear still saves us from many problems ...

Why maybe carry? It is necessary to adequately assess the risks and not to panic from scratch. Everything should be in moderation. To fly or not is everyone's business. If you are afraid, don’t fly, you shouldn’t inflate the panic either, and if you still decide, then no one has canceled the elementary safety rule. Both at home and in Egypt.
There is an opinion here that many countries of the Arab region should be forgotten for several years - this is clearly too much.

Pachok - risks do not add up and are not interchangeable. Otherwise, there would be no such branch of mathematics as probability theory (with mathematical statistics), but there would be only arithmetic.
I will not develop the calculation part, since I wrote about something completely different. Remember the satirical fairy tale by Saltykov-Shchedrin "The Wise Piskar". I just wrote about it.

I am not asking you to go. I say that EVERYWHERE you need to follow the safety rules. If you decide to go. But there is also such a thing as fate. If you are afraid, you can stay at home and not go out the door at all. I am against extreme measures. She expressed her opinion. If it does not coincide with yours, it does not mean that it does not have the right to life. Whether or not to listen is everyone's business.
I can give you so many cases in the resorts of Europe and the shooting of tourists and stabbing. But many people go there anyway. This is a matter for each individual. And I do not accept panic in any form. IMHO

So I also don’t accept panic and don’t instill fear in anyone (read my posts more carefully), we fly every year ourselves, and also express my opinion, which also has the right to life, but we are discussing the topic here, and not writing a campaign campaign .. .

That year, we discussed the weather in January, and with all my wild desire to hear that the weather was +35, I gratefully accepted the fact that it was still +22, and this helped us wait for a couple of weeks of cold snaps at home and fly later as it got warmer ...

In the autumn I was 16 times on the Red Sea.
She flew out of Sharm on October 5th. Even then I noticed that the luggage could not be officially rolled up in a film. ALL packing racks have been removed.
For 5 euros, this was done by a local airport employee by hand. We refused.
I'm sorry, but in 2016 I will spend both May (two weeks) and September (two weeks) not in the Red Sea as usual.
I wish all tourists in Egypt a warm sea. beautiful fishes and QUIET rest.

Good afternoon to all forum users, in general, I took a chance and flew with my family to Hurghada. Husband persuaded. I tell you: The situation there is calm, we didn’t leave the hotel, really. The sea is cold but we were lucky with the weather for a couple of days it was warm then very hot. I won’t advise whether to go or not, everyone makes a choice, but I can say for sure that I was nervous and even very nervous when we flew to Hurghada and back. I liked the rest, but last year it was psychologically easier. Everything went without incident.
